What We Deserve by Lizzie StanleyMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
What We Deserve is a contemporary romance by new author Lizzie Stanley. The story focuses on Emily and Eli and is beautifully written by a new author to me and one that I recommend. Emily is starting out in a new place after leaving a toxic relationship behind which has left her a little battered and emotionally bruised. Sweet and shy, she takes a risk applying for a new job at Wishbones tattoo parlour where she meets Eli and the rest of his crazy family. Eli has been hurt in the past and is finding it hard to put his heart on the line, that is until Emily walks into his business, and he is instantly smitten with the shy, sweet and vulnerable young woman.
As you read the book, you’re amerced into this wonderful family who all have scars, secrets and hilarity of their own. Both Emily and Eli evolve throughout the story. Emily becoming braver and starting to see the person she was before life got difficult and Eli as he puts his trust in someone new. I loved the banter that Emily had with everyone and the understanding and sweetness she shows the other characters when they are going through their own difficulties. Her relationship with the rugged Eli is sweet and sexy to read about and I loved that she was a quintessential geek and got the other in with her geekery!
There is a little bit of angst and drama in the book which just adds to the story and these amazing characters. I would definitely recommend this book and this refreshing new author. I can’t wait to see whose next in the series!
