Great!

Another amazing novel from Melissa. The story continues with the Soho Savvy agency, and this time it is Mallory Spencer, the head of the agency who hooks up with a bar owner, Hope Sanders (this is based in NYC)

The strength of the story is Melissa's style of writing, which is as endearing as the characters portrayed. There is a great mix of, humour, suspense, and romance in the novel, and I recommend it.

What's nice for me about Melissa writing, is that I always come away learning something new, and wanting to do experience it as well. Such as eating fries with lemon juice outside near the Brooklyn bridge.

Felicity Munroe, brings the work alive, like no other, all the characters are distinct and full of the quirky charm written into the prose. Supper skills and talent from Felicity!

fantastic!!

I absloutly love Melissa brayden's writing, her shop loft series is my fave. each books focuses on all the characters, not just the two who the book is about, with each book you learn more about all of them, also have to say that the narrator does a fantastic job of making this book, you can hear the different characters voices and clearly pick out who is talking before being told. this book is the 3rd in the series and I could not pick a fave book out of these three as they are all fantastic. Also love the little hints into another character from a different book, *Molly dollys* little hint into her world again by doing this. would definitely recommend any of Melissa braydens books!!!

Amazing Finale to the Soho series

Would you listen to Ready or Not again? Why?

Yes!!! I have already listened to this book about 5 times. I LOVE the characters and the relationships they all have with each other.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Out of the two main characters, I like Mallory best.

Out of all of the characters in this book (& the series) I love, love, love Brooklyn. There's just something about her. I love her humor and how she relates to her 3 best friends.
I fell in love with Brooklyn in the first book of the series (KISS THE GIRL) where she was one of the main characters.

What about Felicity Munroe’s performance did you like?

This Narrator did an amazing job and I really enjoyed listening to her read this book.

She managed to give each of the characters their own voice, making it easy to tell the characters apart.

She helped to bring the characters to life and brought out each of the characters personality.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to give spoilers, so the best I can explain it is...
Where Mallory stands by and supports Hope. Also the development of Brooklyn & Jessica's relationship and Mallory's speak about the group's friendship.

Any additional comments?

I absolutely LOVE this book. It is a story about friendship, family and love. After reading (&/or listening to) this book, I feel like I know each of the characters.

This is a book (series) I can easily listen to & read, over & over again. I have already read the book 7 times and listened t the audio version 5 times.

I highly recommend these books. They are definitely worth the money/credits.
I hope you enjoy this audiobook.

The order of the books in this series...
Book 1 - Kiss the Girl (Brooklyn & Jessica).
Book 2 - Just Three Words (Samantha & Hunter).
Book 3 - Ready or Not (Mallory & Hope).

I loooove love the soho loft series!!!

I love my savvy girls!!! If you like a good rom-com then look no further!! I highly recommend the 'soho loft series' starting with 'Kiss the girl'.

'Ready or not' is a really great book however I did prefer the first two books. It was really nice to hear Mallory's story and see her cute, soft side, but I felt the story was a little predictable and didn't surprise me as much as the others, so that was the only let down, but I still enjoyed listening and I definitely recommend it because c'mon, who doesn't love a good love story?!

I know it's unlikely but any chance of a fourth book?? Pretty pleaseee...

A charming end to the Soho Loft trilogy

Melissa Brayden is a gifted story teller with a talent for charming love stories. I found these stories enjoyable despite Melissa Brayden writing about things she obviously has little knowledge of. This meant I frequently had difficulty believing in the fantasy enough to overlook an almost complete lack of reality, which is especially noticeable in the goings on of the amateurish advertising agency; Soho Savvy would not survive for a second in the real world.

My difficulty, with all her writing that I have listened to so far, is the fact Melissa Brayden's uses words incorrectly at times and it is irritating that a lack of detailed editing does correct this and also some disappointing sentence construction.

Felicity Munroe conveys the emotion in the story well but is not a great voice artist as she does not give the characters different voices, which makes the story difficult to follow at times.

All in all, the Soho Loft trilogy is an enjoyable listen for anyone, like me, who loves wlw romances.

more please spoiler

our 4 ladies have all found love in 3 marvellous tales, and beautifully narrated, but,,
I'd like more,,, carry on the stories of the advertising firm, the bar, more weddings? some children? new staff, families in crisis or entangled. so Melissa start typing more of my favourite soho sweethearts (and Fionas' sexy Mallory voice x).

Great ending to the series

Thoroughly enjoyed this series that I listened to back to back. Well written and performed. The story has good and believable characters and enough plot twists to surprise.

A twofer offer has again provided me with another author I will be looking out for.

Fabulous conclusion

A great roundup of the trilogy - how could you not like the characters and the overall gentleness of the tale?
