Miranda’s next decision will change the course of her day, her year, and her life.

From the beginning I was completely intranced into this story! I also laughed so freaking much I had tears starting to form from how hard I was laughing at some points. I enjoyed the plot of the story and the banter. I enjoyed the writing style of Belle with this book. You need to definitely write more like this!
I adored the banter and clearly the sexual chemistry between Miranda and Lane. I loved almost everything about this story with one exception. I thought he ending was abrupt.
I don’t have much to say about this book. And don’t take that to it was a bad book. Just the in fact, I enjoyed this one VĔŔŶ much. It was well ₩ł₮₮Ɇ₦. Well pαced. The plot was highly . It was . It was sweet. Both main were likable. No Ø₩ or Ø₥ drama. It was an utterly read.
So why not 5 ? …one, I wish the book would have had m҉o҉r҉e҉ heat. It was very ᴛᴀᴍᴇ. I think a few more would have increased the ѕєχυαℓ ¢нємιѕтяу between . It was a little ℓąȼЌɨɲǥ in that department. SIDE NOTE: I am ҽxԋαυʂƚҽԃ with virgins. I get was just 20 ( is 35), and I get she was şάνίήģ ħέŕşέĻғ for marriage However, reader is over the heroine trope. Two, the other I had with this book was the . I really wish there had been a ғᴜʀᴛʜᴇʀ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ epilogue.
I guess I actually had than I thought! Overall I this one very much, and it gets twσ strσng thumвs up from yours truly.
When I saw the cover and blurb for Bang Bang by Belle Brooks, I was very intrigued. I am so glad I decided to read it. It was such a fun, surprising and unique kind of read. I can’t really describe what I was expecting when I started this book, but what I found was a story I just got lost in and had fun reading.
Miranda is minding her own business while trying to find a way to eat her favorite cake, at a wedding shop, where you need a fiancé. What is a girl to do? Well grab the next man that comes along and eat cake of course! Haggerty has no idea what to do with Miranda. He was strong, protective and very likable. Miranda is young, a bit naïve and somehow finds herself in a situation she never expected.
Bang Bang by Belle Brooks was such a fun and light read with a bit of suspense. I loved the banter between Haggerty and Miranda. I found myself devouring the story.

Belle does it again. She delivers an action packed funny love story!
What a story to tell their grandkids.
Absolutly loved it!
Bang Bang By Belle Brooks.
SUPERB!!! 10/10!!! LOVED IT!!!
Ms Brooks writes an original, funny fast paced book.
The characters and plot are fantastic. I was so captivated reading Bang Bang, I couldn’t wait to turn the next page. The banter between the characters was hilarious-it bought a huge smile to my face, at a time in my life when I needed it most.
I’d give this book the biggest 10 stars possible!
Hot….HOt…HOT!
Miranda innocently grabs Lane randomly to get some free cake. Little did she know that one move would change everything. This rom-com is a hot and wild ride. Extremely entertaining with non-stop drama and suspense. Not sure how believable it is but a fun read!
5 Cranky Stars
Comedy, action, suspense and light your panties on fire love are all in this epic story. I didn’t want this story to end. Belie Brooks is an author that I intend to stalk, er read more of.
A crooked watch repair man is the catalyst to thrusting Miranda into an undercover mission. Bad guys are around every corner but thanks to cake (really good cake) she is now being protected by detective Haggerty. Only problem is she has to pretend to be his fiancee.
Lane Haggerty has been working undercover for a while to take down a human trafficking ring. Everything is going as planned until cake (really good cake) puts a wrench (and yummy icing) in the mix. Pun intended. Now he has to protect the young, gorgeous and completely irritating Miranda and avoid getting killed in the process.
OMG! This book is amazing. Its different than any book I’ve read. It has everything without being too much. I fell in love with the characters and found myself laughing and crying right along with them. I look forward to reading more from this author and highly recommend this book.
This is very different then what Belle has written. And trust me, I’ve read every book. This just goes to show how versatile a writer she is. I laughed, I cried and I said AWE, many times during this read. The story between a cake struck, young college student and a very hard working man….. (Insert fan her, hes sooooooo hot) makes you wanting more! This story NEEDS to be made into a movie or at least a weekly television series!!!! Omg!
Loved it, I couldn’t put it down, this is new for Belle and she didn’t disappoint
Without giving any thing away…because you MUST read this book, it has something for everyone, very funny AND romantic!! I didn’t expect all that it has. I expected one thing and received so much more. Belle’s books just keep getting better and better! And I keep being surprised and delighted with each new release. Read this one, I promise you won’t be disappointed!! I love you Belle Brooks!!
I really liked it
Three words to discribe the book : Romantic, Fun and Suspensful.
This storry is so funny and romantic it had me hooked from the start, and in a bit off suspens and you have a great must read
One thing I know when I read a belle brooks book is that no two books are the same as the author continues to come up with completely unique characters and storyline’s for her books. This author isn’t afraid to change up her stories from being a laugh out loud rom com to cry your eyes out romance.
This story was another great read by Belle Brooks with a fantastic storyline that really took me by surprise. Bang Bang was such a fun storyline that had great characters I could not get enough off. I loved the banter between the two of them. This is definite must read that I definitely recommend to all.
2.5 stars
It’s always easy to write reviews about books that won you over, flashed you…. But writing a review about a book that wasn’t your cup of tea is not so easy for me.
Specially because I want to be fair, open and honest without hurting anyones feelings.
”He’s powerful, yet gentle. He’s forceful, yet attentive. He’s a sweet dream, and a horrible freaking nightmare all rolled into one.”
So here I am, writing a review for a book from an author I adore and know how great she is with words. How easy she captured my mind and heart in the past.
Bang Bang calls itself a romcom, but to me it was not funny at all. Maybe it was just not my kind of humor. But only a very few scenes had me smile big or giggle a little. Otherwise I found nothing really funny in there.
”He’s my armour. He’s my safety net. He’s the protector of my life.”
The characters were flat. To me there was no depth in them, nor did I detect any development. I really do know what Belle Brooks is capable of in delivering characters that grow on you, so you can imagine my surprise when theses characters did nothing for me.
With these characters I was mostly annoyed. Miranda was annoyingly childish. I understand that not all 20 year old can be or act like grown ups and that there is still some childishness in them. But to me, Miranda came across as highly imature and it was hard to believe that a 35y old man, who has seen more bad in his life than not – someone with both feet on the ground – can fall for a childish, immature 20y old.
Lane … what can I say about him? I love how devoted he is to his job, to rescue someone in need, to make sure people are safe. But I don’t understand his actions toward Miranda at all in the first place. It had me shaking my head in disbelief a lot. To me he was not interesting at all.
In addition to all that, the chemistry or attraction between Miranda and Lane was almost none existent.
”He was the fireworks I needed to explode my life into my soul even though I never knew it at the time.”
The idea of the story was great. But I didn’t get what I expected. I couldn’t get into the story, there where more questionmarks than not.
So why did I finish this book? Well, I was hoping the author would turn back the tide. I wanted to give the book the chance to prove me wrong. But from the first page to the last, this book – sadly – was nothing for me.
Bang Bang with its interesting storyline, filled with drama, action, suspense has surely the potential to entertain you.
*I received a free copy of Bang Bang. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*
DNF at 28%
Bang Bang is a romantic comedy, and it was just not a story I was able to get into. There’s a lot of silliness and suspense of disbelief, and I guess I was just not in the right mood for it? I’m sure a lot of readers will enjoy it, because it is rather fast paced, and there’s a lot going on. I mean, an undercover cop dealing with human trafficking, and a girl who is totally in the wrong place at the wrong time. And so, she has to go with the undercover cop to stay safe.
The writing is good, too. But as I said, I was not able to get into the story at all, and since I have so many books to read, I decided to let this one go.
This was a fun and funny read. It was suspenseful and laugh out loud funny. I loved it from start to finish.
Okay, I don’t know what I was expecting with this book, but it is Belle that has wrote it, so nothing is expected..
This story started out extremely innocent, pulling a random off the street to get free wedding cake samples? Because, well, why wouldn’t you?
The book instantly got more intense, entertaining and grabbing from there on. Both main characters are extremely likeable, although it is a quick romance, there is more than enough time to live 3 lives and travel across Australia.
I loved this book, I couldn’t put it down, I hope we get to see the characters again
Format: Kindle Edition
A rom-com with humor, romance, action and suspense. A fast paced with well developed characters story. highly recommend this story and all of Belle Brooks’ books
I really enjoyed this book. Miranda got more than she bargained for when she just wanted to eat cake.
Belle Brooks- Need I say more? As per her usual, she has provided an entertaining story full of intrigue. Miranda just wanted to have her cake and eat it too but instead ended up in an undercover sting and a Stockholm type of love affair that pulls the reader in makes them want to flip those pages to see what happens next. Loved it!
