Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake

Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake


A Brush with Love Book #2

by Mazey Eddings

🎧Narrated by Summer Morton; Will Peters


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


First and foremost, let me tell all the potential readers that this is a surprise pregnancy story. Some find this a deal breaker, but I implore you to give this modern take on the trope a chance. Eddings has encapsulated this trope in such a fresh and modern way, I can’t think of a better way to tell this type of story.


With that cat out of the bag, Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake continues the friendship saga with he characters we met in A Brush with Love about 2 years into the future. Lizzie Blake is still a haphazard victim of her ADHD trying to find a way to adult… when she meets an Australian business man at a bar and dives into a one night stand… that turns into a weekend fling. Lizzie is not one for relationships, her quirks always get in the way, so she is happy to say goodbye and see him fly across the world back home. Out of sight, out of mind… that is until her period is late!


Now, she is a modern girls and puts on her big girls panties and tells him! I know- shocking!! I absolutely loved that she doesn’t try to hide it from the father, while still giving options and letting him know her plans. Way to adult Lizzie! Not she even agrees to let him come back an d co-parent. Another adulting point! Obviously, for romance sake these two decide not to pursue the relationship, just the co-parenting and romantic roadblocks get in their way (I’m looking at you one bed!).


This story was a breath of fresh air and I absolutely love quirky Lizzie and the dreamy Aussi Rake! I think this is a must read. 


🎧I was fortunate to receive an audiobook arc and found that the narrators both captured the characters perfectly! This second book of the series has different narrators than book 1, and the was a very happy surprise, since authors/ series usually use the same narrators for their books. I wasn’t in love with those narrators, but they did capture the previous characters, BUT would NOT have been right for Lizzie and Rake.


Will Peters dreamy Aussi accent was the icing on the cake of this story, while Summer Morton’s voice work embodied what I imagined Lizzie would sound like. 


From the narrator selection the addition of little sound effects, the audio definitively enhanced the reading experience.



Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings is scheduled to release September 6th, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press and the audiobook from Macmillan Audio through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed. De...

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
