The Weekend: London Affair Part 1 by Rhyannon Byrd was a good entertaining romance,I read it quickly,it was fun and steamy but it lacks a litlle bit of originality,nonetheless I can't wait for part II;

This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a quick read but what an amazing start to this series. The characters were amazing. you will just fall in love with them from the start. This is the first book by this author that I've read and I can't wait for more. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

This book surprised me I enjoyed it way more than I expected to.
Why would I be reading a book I didn't expect to like?
It's not exactly that I didn't expect to like it I just figured it would be a typical 3* read. Absolutely nothing wrong with that most of the books I read fall into this category but this was more or at least it was for me.

Emmy Reed is an American art-history graduate in London and she's trying for the impossible an interview with the reclusive artist J.J. Harrison.
Emmy has some hang ups about alpha males and rich entitled playboys so when she catches sight of the gorgeous and obviously incredibly rich Jase Beckett on the underground she looks because she can but knows it's not going anywhere.
But circumstances put them together and Jase suggests a deal. Emmy accompanies Jase to a family wedding and Emmy gets her meeting with J.J. Harrison who happens to be Jase's grandfather.

Emmy is natural and refreshing and nothing like the women Jase is used to and the more time he spends with her the more intrigued and attracted he becomes.
Jase is so much more than Emmy expected and she realises she was way off base with her assumptions.
As the weekend progresses the attraction and sexual chemistry intensifies leaving us to wonder what will happen when the weekend is over?

Emmy and Jase are both fabulous characters, I really enjoyed this and I can't wait for the next part.

Now there's nothing new here, it's like so many books before it (reminded me of Bared to You in places) but I liked it, held my attention from the first page to the last and that's what I want from a book

I'm not a fan of cliffhangers and I don't like it when what is essentially one book is broken down and released in parts. Yet I couldn't stay away from this something about the blurb appealed to me enough for me to want to read it and I'm so glad I did plus there's only a week between books which isn't too bad.

The Weekend - 17th October
The Chase - 24th October
The Confession - 31st October

The Weekend: London Affair Part 1, Rhyannon Byrd

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance

A three part book, its not really a trilogy to me as it could have been one book, but has been divided into three short sections. I can't find page info but its just over 1600 kindle locations including book info, I'd guess that makes it around 100-120 pages. 
I hate waiting for sections/next in series so its Great to see this is being released through October with the final part out October 31st. A huge thanks Rhyannon for that, it means it will still be fresh when I get to the next part.
Another thing I'm happy about is each section is only 99p, so its not an expensive read overall. Too often books are divided and each section priced as if a full story, leaving the poor readers to pay double/triple what they should. 

So, the story. Great read, loved it, totally loved it.
Emmy is a terrific character, no wimping wallflower but outspoken and honest, not brash and overconfident. Its a fine line between standing up for oneself and being aggressive, and she needs all that talent when she meets Jase' family. 
I love Jase too, kind of out of his depth with Em, but going with the flow....so far..His assistant Martin was a real gem, clearly very understanding of Jase and the two have a relationship that more like freinds than employee. I like that. 

Its a simple exchange at first, he needs a date to keep his exes at bay at a family wedding, and he thinks gorgeous Em will be perfect, and she needs an interview with a reclusive artist that just happens to be his grandfather - not that they're on great terms but he can get her to see the artworks, and maybe meet the man himself.
The heat between the two snaps off the page. I've moaned a bit recently about romances where I really don't feel the magic connection between the two characters, but here it snaps off the page right from the start.
One gripe though, at the beginning when she meets him on train/tube(?) and later when he's looking after her. Does anyone really get so deep into fantasies when they see a gorgeous guy - or girl? Em's mentally rambling on for ages about how he does it for her. Pages and pages, and it felt a little too much. I might think a guy is hot, might mull over what he'd be like but not to that extent, when its someone I don't know, haven't spoken to, in fact have only seen for a short while on a journey....

The wedding and Jase' family. Wow - what an awful occasion, what horrible people and how much did I love it ;-) I adore some really nasty b itchy characters in a story, and this book has them in droves, not just the ladies but the men too.
They're not all awful though, there are some I'd be proud to have as friend or family. 

I liked the idea it was set in UK, as someone that lives here, though TBH there wasn't really anything to make the UK/London setting clear, it could have been anywhere. 
 
Stars: five, roll on books two and three, its lining up to be a real gem of a story!

I've read so many of these soap opera like romances lately but this one was probably one of the better ones. I genuinely liked these characters and I really need to read the rest of these books
