It’s all fun and games until someone loses a heartIn print, Heidi Bluthe is known as Miss Anonymous – the queen of confident, snark-laced advice for her weekly column. In person, Heidi Bluthe is plagued by her battle with anxiety – the queen of online food ordering and avoiding public spaces. So when William Rutherford turns up in her backyard and informs her that her advice not only ruined his … only ruined his life, but also that he expects her to fix what she ruined, she’s surprised to find herself agreeing. And even more surprised to find herself falling hard for the off-limits man from across the pond.
A year ago, William Rutherford was living the dream. Beautiful fiancée. Perfect home in the suburbs. A great job that he loved. All that changed in an instant. And the advice Miss Anonymous – aka, Heidi Bluthe – gave might not have been the root cause, but it was certainly the shove that sent things over the edge. Now, William is determined to have her set things right, no matter the cost. Even if that means unexpectedly risking his heart in the process…

“Unsolicited Advice” (nook) is packed with a whole range of emotions. From laugh-out-loud to angst to tears. This wonderful story kept me entranced throughout. Plus, I liked the unexpected plot twist.
Is there a worse job than advice columnist? I suppose Mike Rowe could tell me a thing or two. Quite interesting and provocative story of two people coming from different lifestyles and experiences.
Some really good laugh out loud parts. Very entertaining.
Our perception of situations and their causes are not always correct, and sometimes we cast blame where it really doesn’t belong. And sometimes that has a happy ending! These characters were enjoyable, interesting, and believable. Sometimes things really do work out for the best! 😉
Crazy story and witty dialogue make for a wonderful love story.
I enjoyed this book very much. The characters where believable, compatible, funny at times, and romantic at other times. The story was fun to read as well as having a little bit of sexual tension.
A new author to add to my list of favorites.
I really enjoyed this book…wonderful characters…great dialogue with lots of humor but also a very sweet story
Nice story
This was an amusing example of a struggling agoraphobic overcoming her anxiety and finding love! Twists and turns keep you guessing! You won’t regret reading this.
Not the usual type of book I would pick to read, but it was surprisingly good! They were so cute together.
3.5 that I’ll bump to 4 American/British Mad Stars. Yeah, I know, GR needs at least 1/2 stars, but it is what it is. So, this wasn’t really quite a 4-star rating on my scale, but it was more than 3. Unsolicited Advice is fun, witty, a bit unpredictable, and fast-paced. The entire story happens within four days. Well, OK, with the epilogue it takes about three and a half months. Still, that’s pretty darn fast. Heidi is a reclusive advice columnist who is just shy of her psychology degree. William is a retired bricklayer who is on a mission/vendetta. There is pretty heavy stuff in this one, but it’s dealt with in an endearing, witty way. I enjoyed Unlosicited Advice. If you’re looking for a little out of the ordinary, fun, and quick story this one may be for you.
overwhelmingly slow. gave up at 35% finished
Tedious to read
I liked the characters. The main premise for the journey was partly silly and partly never explained adequately. The more I thought about it afterwards, the less the story held together. It’s too bad. She has a good knack for writing dialog (inner and outer), but the whole story didn’t hold together.
It was unrealistic. The main character was constantly being “saved” by the male as if she had no back bone at all. She came across as pitiful. It was not enjoyable to read. The writing style was smooth and easy to read, but I didn’t look forward to more of her fear and anxiety.
Did you every watch a play/tv movie, etc. where you couldn’t decide if the story was supposed to be tongue in cheek but never got there or if it was just BAD? This book would qualify-but finally weigh out as simply bad. Could not take these stupid characters more than three chapters. I wish them well, but wouldn’t expect that.
Unsolicited Advice is book three in the Between the Sheets series. Heidi’s advice in her column backfires for one reader. When he demands she set things right, she agrees to try. William’s life was perfect until Heidi’s advice sent it in the wrong direction. He finds more than he intended though when Heidi attempts to fix things. Maybe Heidi had it right? This book was good.
Heidi takes pride in helping the clueless. What happens when the woman with all the advice is the person who needs it most? Unsolicited Advice is a barrel of laughs with a huge quantity of heart. Ms. Di Lorenzo takes a hot mess and transforms it into a work of art. William is a charmer but he’s so pushover. He’s a straight shooter except in matters of the heart. Heidi all the answers, but is she answering the right questions when it comes to her own life? A sweetly crafted introspective read.
Unsolicited Advice, book three in the Between the Sheets series by Melinda Di Lorenzo is an interesting and funny book. Heidi is Miss Anonymous, a snarky, sarcastic advice columnist. One of her readers figures out her true identity and shows up on her doorstep claiming her advice ruined his life and demands she fix it. A year ago, William Rutherford was living the dream; a beautiful fiancée and the perfect home in the suburbs. All of that changed in an instant. The advice Miss Anonymous gave might not have been the cause, but it was definitely the push that sent things over the edge. William is determined to have Heidi set things right, even if that means unexpectedly risking his heart in the process. Heidi agrees to help the sexy British charmer, William, on his quest to set things right. While traveling from Seattle to Las Vegas she too ends up risking losing her heart to him.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Di Lorenzo knows how to tell a wonderful story and she drew me into this story, not letting me go until I read the last page. This book had my feelings all over the place, sad at some scenes and laughing out loud at others. I definitely recommend this book to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
