Bedhead was a really good book. Since this was my first time reading a Kayt Miller book I really didn’t know exactly what to expect but I honestly can’t wait to read another book by this author. Cooke, a sexy English rugby player, and Quinn, a quirky college student, meet by complete accident but their unusual relationship grew from there and I loved being along for the ride. Quinn was a very relatable character that I found myself rooting for over and over and honestly could not put my Kindle down. I caught myself saying “just one more chapter” until it was after 3 a.m.. Beadhead is definitely a book I recommend.
Want to read more by this author!!!
I really enjoyed this book, it fought my attention immediately and didn’t let it go!
What are the odds? This story started out funny and just got better from there. Looking forward to reading Redhead.

The writer Kayt Miller is totally new to me. I discovered this book by chance (Bookbub deal) and after reading the blurb I became very curious about the story. A British rugby player who accidently calls the wrong number?!? It sounded like a fun story and it was.
Quinn Maxwell is a curvy young woman who is studying to became an art teacher. She lives together with roommates in a house. She’s living a quiet life until one night she hears a man voice, a sexy British man voice. When she is slowly waking up, she discovers that she’s looking into the face of a young, hot stranger on her laptop screen and he’s talking to her. That is the start of a friendship between Quinn and Cooke (the British hottie). Quinn and Cooke couldn’t have been more different from each other, they don’t only live in different countries and have different accents (which makes their conversations very fun!!) but he’s a famous professional rugby player and she’s just a student. He’s rich and she’s poor. But even with all those differences between them, they feel comfortable with each other, they are drown to each other. But then things are happening, things that show them that living so far apart from each other, isn’t easy. Sometimes talking through FaceChat isn’t enough, sometimes you need a hug and someone next to you. Will their long distance relationship survive it or was it never meant to be?
I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that Quinn was a curvy woman! That was another plus for me. So, ‘Bedhead’ is a light, fun, easy to read story. Even though it is a light story, it doesn’t mean that the story didn’t had some ‘sensitive’ themes in it. Like how it is to grow up when you have a curvy body, the insecurities that a woman has when your body isn’t ‘perfect’. I personally liked how the writer handled it, it was incorporated into the story, told in little details. The story is told from Quinn POV’s but we get Cooke’s POV at the end of the story. I liked that very much. I did miss an epilogue at the end of the story. I would have loved that very much!
Quinn was this cheerful, sweet, friendly woman who was a bit clumsy and insecure about her body. During the story she got more confidence and she stood more up for herself.
Cooke was also a very likeable character. He was confident, charming, thoughtful and friendly. One thing that I loved about him is that he respected Quinn’s decisions and that he gave her confidence about herself. I liked the banter between them very much. And the secondary characters were very interesting too. They each brought different things into the story.
Personally, I liked the first halve of the story the most, it was fluent and good. The other half was also good but it felt more rushed (especially the end) and the relationship between Quinn and Cooke felt more ‘real’, it had a bit of a different feel of it. That wasn’t bad, it just had a different vibe. I think that was partly because Cooke’s character also changed a bit, I can understand why but it gave me doubts about him for a while. But in the end, I did enjoy this story. It was a pleasant read.
It all starts with a wrong number, a facetime call in the middle of the night, a hot guy on the screen and Quinn looking like she had just been woken up at three in the morning… which she had. When Cooke calls the very next day to apologize, Quinn realizes that nope, she wasn’t dreaming, Cooke is super hot; which in Quinn’s world means he would not be interested in her. Striking up a friendship over the phone with Cooke gives Quinn a person that she can talk to, someone that she can confide in when her world seems to be going to poo around her. What will it take for Quinn to understand that maybe, just maybe, Cooke really is into her as more than just a friend?
This turned out to be a really good read. At first I was a bit nervous and unsure of where this story was heading, there was so much drama coming from a lot of different directions. The author was very clever in how she wrote this, it was not one of those stories you could see the outcome and pretty much knew it from the first page. I give this 4 stars and this is not the last I read from this author.
Ok, so, confession time…I started this as a ‘read a little before going to sleep’ kind of a thing…I got so sucked in that I read it to the end and ended up going to sleep at 5am!!! (but don’t tell anyone that!). Yes it sucked me in that much and I loved it so much I honestly couldn’t put it down. It made me laugh out loud so many times. The characters are just fab and I love the set up, just you wait for Aragog! I so thoroughly enjoyed it that I was really sad when it ended. I got very attached to the characters and could have stayed a lot longer with them. Can I give it more than 5 stars?
This is a beautifully written story which is sweet, humorous, steamy, and with amazing chemistry between Quinn and Cooke. I was intrigued throughout and I highly recommend for all readers.
Bedhead is a sweet slow burn romance that will make you swoon. Very well written with a great storyline and amazing characters.
A single FaceChat call to a wrong number changes Cooke and Quinn’s lives forever. Being in different countries doesn’t stop their budding friendship that overtime turns into so much more.
His stardom of being a professional rugby player has always gotten him a certain kind of attention, especially from women. They always wanted him for his money or his fame. Quinn is different, she sees him for who he really is.
Whew what a ride! Bedhead is equal parts cute and sweet, but maaaaaan the drama! I really did have fun reading this. Quinn was pretty dang lovable and Cooke was all kinds of sweet and hot. But occasionally the self deprecation and obliviousness of Quinn made me want to scream a little.
Like I said, I really did like her but as a plus size woman the constant weight barbs get old. Even when they’re being hurdled by the person themselves. Self esteem is such a fragile thing and varies so greatly person to person that it usually doesn’t get to me, but it was frequent enough with Quinn I just wanted to shake her at times. That said she grows SO MUCH throughout this that it made it all worth it. Seeing her confidence grow as her and Cooke fall in love in quite unique circumstances was fantastic!
