S'more to Lose by Beth MerlinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I liked Beth Merlin's "S'more to Lose" even better than the first book in the Campfire series. Main character Gigi seemed so much more confident in herself and her abilities this time around, despite the brief crisis and case of designer's block that sent her back to visit Camp Chinooka one more time in the middle of the book. Rather than running away from her problems, she seemed to be running towards inspiration, which showed just how far her character has come since the beginning of book #1.
As for Gigi's romantic prospects, I have to admit that I wasn't super excited about Gideon, Viscount Satterley, as her prospective love interest. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but overall, Perry, her love interest from the first book, seemed like a better match for her. Perry challenged Gigi and seemed to bring her out of herself, which in turn helped her to find her inspiration. I can't help but hope Gigi and Perry will find a way to reconcile in book #3.
Overall, I loved this book. It stands very well on its own for those who have not yet read the first book in the Campfire series, though I recommend that book too. I can't wait to see what happens in book #3!
