Won’t Let You Down (A Cedarville Novel, #8)

Won’t Let You Down is the eighth novel in the Cedarville series by Bree Kraemer. This is my sixth novel by this author.

Joy enjoys her job as nail technician and has realized how reckless her previous behavior was. She also wants the type of love her twin sister, Avery has found.

Flynn is the best friend of Dax and spent a night at the bar with Joy just talking and laughing. When he wants to ask for her number, she up and disappears.

Months later when they see each other again, she appears to have no recollection of meeting him. But Flynn knows what he wants even if Joy has a few personal things to work through.

Words can describe how much I love this series. Whenever I see another one coming out, I get so excited to read it.

This novel was no different. I still felt the emotions of the characters and was drawn into the story and characters.

I hope this series never ends.

Won’t Let You Down (A Cedarville Novel Book 8) by Bree Kraemer was a light heart sweet read, that put me in a good mood.

My first read by this author and this series. Though this is a series, it can be read as a stand alone. So no worries about reading the other seven books in order. Thank the lord.

Right away I was pulling to this sweet slow burn romance. The writing was witty, sassy and I very much enough Joy’s voice and narrative. This is a split POV, so not only do we get Joy’s, when get inside Flynn’s head as well. I did like his voice, but for me I preferred reading Joy’s narrative more.

Joy is not your typical romance MC. She’s that other girl, you know that girl that sleeps around(use too), that friend that won’t settle down and isn’t the quiet reserves shy type, thats only had a few “boyfriends”. I see this type a lot in romances, but like I said, they are normally the “side/fun” character that never gets the happy ending. I loved reading about her, and I love reading about a romantic female MC that wasn’t the shy, quite type. She knew she was beautiful, knew how to flirt, and knew how to get a man in bed. She wasn’t clumsily, awkward or flustering and She spoke her mind. Sure she was scared of this new bubbling romance, but that made her all the more human, and such a realistic character.

Flynn…. he was sweet, never pushed and didn’t give a rats ass about Joy’s pass. I often find that the male MC gets all pissy when it comes to past flings, or lovers, so for him to flat out say he didn’t care how many men she slept with, made him my male MC of the year. These two made such a cute and lovable couple, and they were so real, down to earth, and not extra, that I could almost believe they were in fact, real.

Overall I such a fun time reading this book, and if the other books are anything like thing one I will be going beck and binged reading them. Cause for how real this story was, it was just full of so manly good feels that I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. So please take my super high recommendation that you will get swept away by this sugar sweet, realistic romance.

Happy Reading

Won’t Let You Down is the eighth book in the Cedarville Novel Series by Bree Kraemer. This series seems to get better with each new instalment, and that’s saying something, especially since I was convinced that I wouldn’t like this book, because I didn’t think I liked Joy. Well, I was wrong- I should never have doubted Ms. Kraemer! This story is even better than I could have imagined. There was so much more to the character/s than I thought I knew. This is my favourite of the series so far- a story full of loss, heartache, new beginnings, changes, second chances, love, romance, emotion…. and spice!
Even though it is the eighth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing vital information or getting confused. The story has an identity, energy, feel and flavour all its own- but still fits well with the rest of the books in the series. I love the fact that each book in the Cedarville family focuses on a particular couple- but there are recurring characters, who may have their own book, and who we have met previously, who make appearances though each book, allowing us to catch up with them, as well as enjoying the main ‘event’.
I thought I ‘knew’ Joy, and she hadn’t impressed me at all…. But as I followed along I soon realised that I didn’t really know her as well as I thought I did. I got a new perspective and ended up loving her, especially since she and Flynn were so perfect together! Flynn is just such a good guy, sexy, sweet, patient, and very understanding. He knew what he wanted and wasn’t going to settle for anything else, determined to prove that he wouldn’t let her down!
Can’t wait for more of Cedarville!

Thank you, Ms. Kraemer!

Won’t Let You Down, by Bree Kraemer, is the eighth book in the Cedarville Novel series. This contemporary romance is the story of Joy and Flynn, how their lives overlap and how they each feel about the other. This series is well written and this latest novel is no exception. I really like how the author carries over the characters from previous stories into the others, it creates a full world that is all connected in these unique ways. The dual POV within this story was perfectly written and I loved knowing and learning what each of the main characters were thinking as they interacted with others and each other. This story was full of laughs and the banter was beyond perfect. Joy is certainly one of my favorite heroine characters in regards to her quick comebacks and feedback.

Won’t let you down by Bree Kraemer a five-star read that won’t let you down. This is the eighth book in the Cedarville series they can be read as stand-alone, but I have loved the series and would recommend you read them as such as you will want to go back and read them all. This author has a magical way with words that will transport you from wet and windy Wales to small town America sat at the bar in Dockside having a drink with bunch of strangers who make you feel like family. I will be honest, and Joy wasn’t my favourite character when I first saw her in this series, but seeing her story develop and finding out what made her the woman she is now. It made me realise that she is a much stronger woman than she gives herself credit for and I can’t wait to see her pop up in the future books. The one thing I loved is how you see other characters, old and new pop up and all I can think of is who’s next? Whose story will we find next? I cant wait.

The Cedarville Series is one of those series that continues to hold my attention with each new book. WON’T LET YOU DOWN is book 8 in the series and can be read as a stand-alone. My recommendation is to read the others because it’s like going back to the neighborhood you grew up in and seeing old friends.

This series features a new couple with each book while catching up on the couples we’ve met in previous books.

Book 8 stars Joy and Finn. She is a woman who has decided to make some changes in her life and he is the guy to help her do it. “I wasn’t ignoring you, I was saving my sanity.”

This series is quick, easy and fun to read. Characters are well developed and refences to previous friends/family are clearly explained so it you did read this as a stand-alone, you won’t feel left out.

I recommend this book, this series and this author!

Won’t Let You Down ( A Cedarville Novel Book 8)
By Bree Kraemer
Rated 5 stars!

I was very excited to read this! I love all the previous books and knew I would be stepping back into a favorite place. I wasn’t disappointed. I really want to move to Cedarville. The place of the super hot men and sassy women.

Joy and Flynn’s first meeting wasn’t fantastic but it became memorable to them in different ways. Later Joy doesn’t remember him and and he wants her to remember on her own so he won’t tell her. So even though they both feel this connection. They are not sure how to move forward. So she avoids him and says as little as possible since she is afraid he was a one-nighter. Moving forward when that explanation comes out…prepare yourself for a super ride.

Hot lumberjack bearded Flynn! Haha I laugh when the girls call him that! I love that for Flynn. Gives me a picture in my head of what he looks like! Other than those intense eyes and his determination to get Joy. How thrilled Flynn was when Joy finally said his name! I thought “Wow this guys a goner for sure!” Though I was happy as well. I mean who gets that excited over someone saying your name?? Its because thoughts and comments like these, I was so happy to be inside Flynn’s head. I really enjoyed his thoughts, ideas and of time with his friends.

These two!! I love them together! Their conversations together are so cute! I literally sit with a smile on my face while reading. A favorite couple among this group for me. When together with their friends. It was fun to see all the teasing and good natured bickering between all of them. That really helps bring the past around and the story move forward.

Addison, Leah, Carly and Melanie have all had their stories told and have gotten their happily ever after. While they were a few books ago I still feel this author is consistent in her storytelling. I still get giddy, laugh and and sit smiling while reading this book as I did when reading the earlier ones. I’m glad this author still can keep me interested and waiting for more from these lovely characters.

Although this is book 8 in the series it can be read as a stand alone. For much much more enjoyment you should read them from the first Cedarville story.

Won’t Let You Down by Bree Kraemer is a great example of starting over and creating the life you want, not the life you are stuck with.
Joy learnt the hard way that love only brings pain. And so she centred her life around short term connections, no lasting relationships in sight. But now she is in a new town it is also time for a new start.
Flynn wants the exact opposite. He wants to find someone to spend his life with. He doesn’t want short term, he wants something lasting.
So when Joy and Flynn meet it is a meeting that could go either way. It could either be the thing that neither of them wants. Or it could be the thing they are both searching for the most.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it really easy to get into the story and I become engaged in the characters quickly. It was easy to connect with them both and how they were feeling, their reasons behind their actions. I enjoyed that it was always easy to get straight back in to the book after anytime I had or it down. This is the first book that I have read by this author but I will definitely keep my eye out for more.

Won’t Let You Down is the 8th book in the Cedarville series from Bree Kraemer. It is a sweet contemporary romance that promises to make you fall in love with Cedarville and the people that live there. Each book is focused on a different couple so they can be read as standalone novels, or out of order. I would recommend that you read them all and in order though for a better enjoyment of the books. You really feel like you are visiting Cedarville each time you dive into a new couple’s story, and that is built by reading the entire series. Besides that, each book is an amazing read.

This book is centered on the story of Joy and Flynn. I really enjoyed these two. They are relevant and relatable for most of us that are trudging through life with a secret passion for a person we don’t feel we deserve or should be. Joy has serious trust issues. She finds things are easier when she keeps thing strictly physical and emotionless, most often resorting to one-night-stands and the ease of the one-time encounter. However, Flynn changes things for her when she starts to feel for him on a deeper level than just physically. Flynn is honestly the perfect guy to bring her out of her shell. He is patient and kind, aware of her worries and hesitations. He takes his time and gets to know the real her. Will it be enough though? Can he get her to see that they could have something great together if they just give it a chance? He knows that he ‘won’t let her down’ but can she ever believe it?

The gambit of emotions are felt while reading these two’s story. I found myself on the brink of tears, cheering for them when they were slightly starting to get somewhere, being angry when things were rocky, and blushing in heat at some of the hot steamy scenes that are well written. Overall, this was another great five star installment in the Cedarville series. I can’t wait to see what will come next in this idyllic little town I want so badly to visit.

I was so happy to return to Cedarville, it’s one of my favorite places ever. I was so looking forward to Joy and Flynn’s story and once again this author hit this one out of the park.

I love this authors writing style and her stories are always just feel good kind of stories. The kind you just want to cuddle up on the couch with and get lost in the world she creates.

I have read every one of the books in this series and I can not recommend them enough, I’m thinking you could possibly read them as stand alones but I would not do that, the characters carry forward and you would be missing out on some truly awesome stories.

I’m trying to think of who I want the next book to be about..Maybe Wyatt? Yes Im thinking Wyatt would be a good choice 🙂

I don’t ever want this series to end but when and if it does I can’t wait to take a quiet weekend and read them all over again back to back.

Loved it!!!
