#BookReview: S’more to Lose by Beth Merlin

smore to loseAbout the Book

Four years after her life-changing summer at Camp Chinooka, Gigi Goldstein has a second chance at her dream career. As her design house takes the fashion world by storm, it attracts the notice of Victoria Ellicott, the fashionable British socialite who just happens to be engaged to the future king of England. When Gigi is chosen to design the royal wedding dress, she’s forced to confront her ex-fiancé, Perry Gillman, now a successful composer with a hit show on the West End of London.

When Gigi learns Perry’s been dating Victoria’s sister—who rivals her in looks, style and sophistication—Gigi can’t help but feel inadequate. Her world crumbles as she develops a creative block so debilitating she fears a wedding dress of royal proportions is never going to happen. Not even her budding relationship with the handsome and wealthy Viscount of Satterley can make her forget Perry. While the world gears up for the wedding of the century, Gigi is on the brink of buckling under the immense pressure of the uncertainties of her future and the failures of her past.

Can Gigi overcome her creative paralysis and design the dress of Victoria’s dreams? Or will everything slip through her fingers now that she has even s’more to lose?

My Review

I had a lot of fun reading the first book in the Campfire series from Beth Merlin, and I actually enjoyed this second book even more than the first. I loved the plot of Gigi designing a wedding dress for a royal, since I was all about both Kate and Meghan’s wedding, their dress choice … really all of it! The setting, the romance twist between Gigi and Perry, the other royal in Gigi’s life – I had so much fun reading this one and was glad I was able to receive all three books to read back to back to back. Highly recommend!
