A review by elvang
Eyes Like Those by Melissa Brayden

5.0

Reading a romance novel done to perfection is as enjoyable as savouring a glass of red wine and nibbling on dark chocolate after a rough week at work. Or that first rich cup of coffee you’ve been jonesing for and didn’t even realize. Melissa Brayden is a master of the craft. She understands the formula which has been used effectively in mainstream romance trilogies and quartets for decades. It is a tried and true formula that works. It’s all about relationships and the feels you get when you meet these characters with all their strengths and their flaws. It’s about friendships developed, strong female bonds and delicious chemistry between the mains. Add wit, humour and dialogue that sings. Brayden delivers all this and brings us to our happy place when her characters overcome whatever obstacles she throws at them to reach their HEA. By the time Isabel and Taylor battle through their personal and professional challenges we readers are left with melted hearts and sappy smiles on our faces. The answer to the final question in the blurb for this novel,
Spoiler Only you.
was perfection.

Looking forward to seeing what is in store for Gia, Hadley and Autumn. I’m sure we will have more wonderful bonfires on the beach, delicious cups of coffee from The Cat’s Pajamas and heartfelt discussions between friends and lovers.
