"Good Vibrations" was a hilarious yet heartwarming grumpy/sunshine romance between entertainment lawyer and single dad Miles Brodie, the eldest of the Brodie brothers, and Aria Cross, a former Disney Channel star turned children's musical theater director. The chemistry between Miles and Aria was scorching from the moment they met, and their banter kept me laughing from beginning to end. They were both incredibly likeable, three-dimensional characters, but I particularly loved Aria because of the way she chose to live her life on her own terms after walking away from a Hollywood career that didn't make her happy or fulfilled. She truly brought out the best in both Miles and his daughter Macy, who needed to learn how to have more fun and not take everything so seriously.
As in the earlier books of the series, the secondary characters were a highlight of this story, especially the other members of the Brodie family. I enjoyed their hilarious text exchanges and constant teasing, though it remained
obvious how much they loved and supported each other.
Overall, I adored "Good Vibrations" and highly recommend it for all romantic comedy fans. I wish there were more Brodie brothers because I'm not ready for this series to be over! I look forward to whatever Kayley Loring comes up with next.

About "Good Vibrations"
A former model, a grumpy lawyer, and a single dad walk into an audition for a children's musical… They’re all Miles Brodie. It’s only cute if you aren’t the director who’s being bribed to cast his daughter.
DEAR MS. CROSS,
Re: Our discussion
1. True. Casting my daughter as the lead in your musical could be considered bribery if people find out I’m investing in it, but no one needs to know.
2. I only want to hire you as Macy’s singing coach so her vocal skills will improve.
3. Maybe if you’d spent less time surfing and more on your singing career, you wouldn’t be in this financial predicament.
4. Re. your living situation—my neighbor has a guest house. If you cast Macy as Alice, I will pay for your first three months’ rent.
Do we have a deal?
Best regards,
Miles Brodie
DEAR MR. BRODIE,
1. It absolutely is bribery, but I absolutely need that money for my production. Thanks!
2. It is very cute that you will do anything to get Macy this part, but I would only coach that sweet child as a favor to all mammals with functional hearing.
3. If I spend less time surfing, will you spend less time jogging on my beach with your shirt off?
4. You want to pay me to live next door so you don’t have to drive anywhere to frown at me?
5. I have another condition for casting Macy as Alice—you have to perform the part of the Cheshire Cat.
Purrrrrrr,
Aria
