OMG!
This book was everything to me. I laughed, cried, and just had all of the feels!
My sweet Lyla, she was the typical average girl but seriously a hot mess! I couldn’t keep myself from laughing at all of the things that kept happening to her. But she was also just a girl wanting to be loved in this big old world and not knowing if she was capable of having it. Until she met the beautiful Amery.
Amery, damn boy. He was fine for sure. He was so amazing and seriously he took everything in stride. I just couldn’t believe that someone like him could be real! But he was so sweet, loving and even though he had a reputation I just didn’t believe for a second that he could ever hurt my Lyla because of their first encounter.
I loved this book. I will seriously be rereading it every time I need to cheer up because it was that amazing. Everybody needs a copy of this book, its fresh, funny and beautifully written.
I loved it. This is a funny witty with a hunky ex-baseball player and a clumsy Tinkerbell beauty. I loved all the characters they quirky and charming. Amery and Lyla were meant to be, fate kept putting them in the same place…. serendipity. A well-written book with an enjoyable story with lots of steam put a smile on my face.
Lyla Perkins was having a rotten day, and her clumsiness wasn’t helping. All she wanted to do was prove herself at her new job, but she was kind of a hot mess instead and was just waiting to be fired by her new boss.
When former pro-baseballer turned talent scout Amery Walsh saw the tiny hot mess walking towards him, and all he could envision was an angry tinkerbell . . . who was also a bit of a klutz. Completely intrigued, he wishes he had gotten her phone number, but when their plane lands, she’s off and out of his life . . . or so he thought.
When a chance encounter produces yet another hilarious disaster, Amery is hooked. When she shows up for the photo-shoot he is doing as a last chance to save her job, and literally falls at his feet, he knows he can’t stay away! Can Lyla trust that the sexy former playboy could really be falling for her, or is giving her heart to Amery a disaster of epic proportions just waiting to happen?
First off, this book is completely hilarious. Lyla is a complete klutz and when you add in the mix a grandmother with no filter who enjoys fifty shades of gray a little too much, and her flamboyant best friend who has no problem making a scene, her life plays out as a comedy of errors. But, there is something much deeper to all three that connect them together in the most beautiful of ways.
Amery really is a playboy turned good, and he has it bad for Lyla. He also comes with sidekicks Kent and Ward . . . who just happens to have the hots for Lyla’s BFF which adds to the comedic element found throughout this book. But, Amery is a deeper character as well. He’s ready to settle down now that he’s met Lyla. And, he’s ready to do just about anything to prove to her that he’s in it no matter what is thrown their way!
Chronicles of a Hot Mess was a truly a funny read, but had enough depth to make it more than a simple comedy. The cast of characters was amazing and really shows what family and friendship is all about. You’ll find yourself laughing out loud as you root for Lyla and Amery to find their happy. 4.5 stars.
4 star review of Chronicles Of A Hot Mess by S.E. Rose
Another new author to me and I must say I really enjoyed Chronicles of a Hot Mess. Not only was it, romantic, sweet and cute but at I laughed so hard I almost cried.
Amery Walsh is a player, a swoon worthy man about town who becomes interested in the klutzy Lyla Perkins who he keeps running into. Can opposites really attract? After all how can an ex baseball player be attracted to and intrigued by the overly clumsy hot mess known as Lyla?
That is the question they both ask themselves, but it is true they are drawn to one another and it is is Lyla’s quirkiness that Amery finds so attractive. Not only were Amery and Lyla likeable but her grandmother Gran Mil,was outrageous and one heck of a character. In fact I would love her as my own grandmother to be honest.
Amery has no intention of settling down. He plans to continuing playing the field but there is something about Lyla that really resonates within him. Lyla on the other hand is scared to give her heart to him as she fears he will break it.
