The Redhead Series: Sweet Nuts, Schmaltz, Crazy & The Oonie

I am trying to write about the books as soon as I finish reading them since I have this tendency to jumble things together maybe from one book to the other which is not at all good as I can confuse you guys (Plus I tend to have a short memory... you know name wise and stuff). Obviously, I am not a professional book reviewer but I just had to say something about the book since it made me feel something (like the bubble I always feel when I get to read books).

The Redhead Series comes in 2 books named The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Identified respectively. The first book introduces us to Jack and Grace and their whirlwind romance and other steamy stuff. And with the second book their journey continues and challenges come along the way and you see how they deal with those issues from their respective "drawers".

I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it made me laugh in so many parts. It has been a while since I've actually enjoyed a good fun novel. Jack and Grace have this quirkiness that works to their advantage. And their constant bickering and name dropping was too funny.

Lines like this made me laugh so hard:
"And does he happen to have abs you could grate cheese on?"  
That line was just brilliant! I felt connected with Grace since I see a lot of myself from her. I admire her strength to acknowledge her issues and take action. And then we have Jack who was in a way a total opposite of Grace who exudes confidence who is also young and very good looking and above everything else is a Brit! He surprises me how his actions can be so youthful at times then when words come out of his mouth he's like so old.

I cannot wait for the 3rd installment in the series which I hope comes out soon. To end this post what I take from this book is to grab and take happiness in whatever form it comes. Everyone deserves to be happy and sometimes we feel guilty if something too good comes our way which shouldn't be the case. Sometimes its what we need or better yet what we deserve.

Stay happy everyone! And I should start drinking Olive Juice aka Dirty Martinis they sound more fun than my usual Mojitos!
