~Love Notes – Jasper to Bea – A Brit on the Side by Brenda St. John Brown~

February 3, 2020 by Lisa True Story Book Blog

Title: A Brit on the Side (Castle Calder Series Book #1)
Author: Brenda St. John Brown
Genre: Contemporary Romance

A swoony romantic comedy about getting a second chance with your best shag.
I probably should have declined my bestie’s invitation to spend the summer in England working at her family’s castle-turned-hotel. But, dammit, it was either that or teach summer school math. Two doors down from my ex.
Obvious choice, right?
Except now I’m living within kissing distance of Jasper for the entire summer, and he’s just as sweet and sexy as I remember. Unfortunately, I also remember he gave me the best orgasm of my life in short-term parking. And on the desk chair. Then the kitchen counter. Judging by the way he kisses me, he remembers too.
Clearly, the best solution is:
a)Avoid him at all costs.
b) Sneak into Jasper’s room and bring a little Atlanta heat to the UK.
c) Fall for him. Hard.
I’m not going to choose C. Almost definitely.
The Castle Calder series is a series of sexy rom coms that can be read in any order. You’ll see your favorite characters across the whole series, so read one or read them all!

Title: A Brit Unexpected (Castle Calder Series Book #2)
Author: Brenda St. John Brown
Genre: Contemporary Romance

A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about trying to play it cool in a fake relationship with your real-life Hollywood crush.
The first time I saw Greyson Vaughn he was handling my baggage. And no, that’s not a cute way of saying he felt up my backside. The notorious bad boy actor and I shared a destination for the weekend: Castle Calder.
He wasn’t quite as gentlemanly at our second meeting; he accused me of scheming to manipulate him. Greyson Vaughn is undeniably charming…he is a movie star after all. He might make my fan girl heart skip a beat or six, but I’ll take a hard pass on sharing tea time with the jerk.
Only I’m not be as immune to his smile as I thought. One look, one laugh and I’m agreeing to be his fake girlfriend. Greyson’s a talented actor and soon I’m not sure what’s real and what’s not. He’s made it clear though, this is all for the cameras – those looks, that touch, that soul-searing kiss. The trouble is, I’m no actress, and there’s no way I’ll walk away from this in one piece.

Title: A Brit Complicated (Castle Calder Series Book #3)
Author: Brenda St. John Brown

A sexy romantic comedy about the boss you love to hate. And shag…Actually, is there such a thing as a hate-shag?
My boss:
Uptight.
Straight-laced.
American.
Knobhead.
If he calls me Ms. St Julien one more time, I might stab him in the eye with a pen.
Also my boss:
Sexy AF.
Dirty-talker.
Funny??
That tour of London I was supposed to be taking him on kind of ended up in his bedroom. Oops.
Which brings us to me:
In way over my head.
Need prosecco.
And condoms.

Awww…Jasper!
