Book Review: Love on a Budget by Norma L. Jarrett

Reviewer: Rhonda

love on a budgetI received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

Jake Jiles was always handy with tools. Despite his love for all things do-it-yourself, he went to college and majored in business to fulfill his parents’ dream. He finally got the courage to leave his corporate job and start his “Honey-Do-4-Hire” business. Less than a year in, he’s already exhausted his savings and still living at home with his mother, but he’s determined to birth his franchise. Consumed with his business and fresh off a breakup, he wasn’t in the market for Mrs. Right. But after completing a job on Valentine’s Day, his potential dream girl, Sky showed up. After a brief chat over her car dilemma, he ignored the chemistry and left without her number. But cupid and God had other plans. After a divine connection, the only thing that stood between Jake and Sky, were funds. Will Jake pursue “Love on a Budget” or miss out because the price is too high?

Review:

This was the first book in the Budget Love Series that I’ve read but I picked it up without feeling like I was missing any back story.

The story and the characters were great. I enjoyed the realistic events that took place and the friendships that were portrayed.

Jake followed his heart and pursued his dream of owning his own business. The start-up consumes all his time as he expected.

Of course, Sky comes along at the worst time because he’s far too engrossed in  building his business and has no time for romance.

Thank goodness Jake realized that Sky might worth it.

This was an inspiring story overall and I enjoyed it.

I would read more by Norma Jarrett and I’d recommend Love on a Budget to anyone wanting some good chick lit.
