Download Your Copy Trouble Brewing (Shakespeare Sisters, #2) Penned By Jane Tara File Format Audio Book

I first began reading this book I noticed a few things right away, There seemed to be an abundance of British slang, which generally tends to irk me, Secondly, the rest of the book was so good that it rather cancelled out my concern for the first thing.


What did I like about it Many things, One of the main things that captured my attention about this book was the way the characters came to life right before the reader's eyes.
Rather than describing every minute detail, the author let you form your own images of them with simple, yet effective descriptive words.
She lets you decide what and who you want the characters to be with just the slightest assistance,

There were a few times where I felt the main character was a bit self concerned and overbearing, but she is a strong personality and her words and actions certainly reflected that.
I liked the way she took control of the story, I just felt she was a bit bossy toward her love interest.


The supporting characters are great and also play a major role in the story, which I don't think happens often enough.
So frequently I like one of the secondary characters more than the main, but in this case they are all worthy of adoration.


The idea behind the premise of this story is also something I had not seen before, The way the author made the main character compassionate toward the plight of others helped me grow to really like her.


I would recommend this book to others, It was sassy, and fun,

This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher,
Trouble Brewing is an enchanting romance by Australian author, Jane Tara, Though ostensibly the second book to feature the magical Shakespeare family the first is sitelinkForecast, it can be read as a standalone.


Calypso Shakespeare is a witch whose psychic ability allows her to brew cocktails to, amongst other things, mend broken hearts, instill confidence or encourage love to bloom.
Though based in her parent's London pub, Calypso's wanderlust sees her traveling the world, never staying in one place very long but eventually The Winds of Change finds her and Calypso is forced to consider if she is always running to, or from, something.
. . or someone.

Heartbreak haunts Calypso and the arrival of former fling Taran Dee in London is the impetus for her to move on, despite only just having arrived.
But this man isn't willing to let her run far, following her to Vienna and then Paris before convincing her to spend just three days with him.
Calypso and Taran's relationship is fun and sexy, the chemistry is obvious and the push and pull is believable given their individual histories.


Though primarily a lighthearted romance, Trouble Brewing has some additional depth as it explores grief, loss and love.
Calypso struggles with the fate of a former love and her family faces a frightening health scare, while Calypso's Viennese friends are plagued by their unexplained infertility and Simon faces being disowned by his family.


Trouble Brewing is enhanced by its eccentric cast made up of Calypso's family and friends, several of which have their own stories explored in the novel.
For her sister Nell, the focus is on her search for a career, while for Calypso's unconventional best friend Megan, it is finding love unexpectedly with the wealthy and repressed Simon.
I adored the Shakespeare matriarch, known as Batty, and

Fun, charming and contemporary, Trouble Brewing is a lovely read ideal for those that believe in the magic of romance.

Gave up at Normally I don't do this because it bothers me to not finish a book but this one just never held my interest and was forcing myself to read this far.
I have too many books I want to read to be forcing myself to finish this one, Sorry it just wasn't for me, I never really cared about the main girl because you don't know much about her but she seems cold even though the book describes her as the life of the party.
I didn't like how it bounced between all the characters, And the romance part of this book was never believable, They just keep having sex without any meaningful interactions, It was starting to get there at the halfway point but by that point I didn't care enough to keep reading.
Book Trouble Brewing by Jane Tara

Calypso is a witch and she helps people by providing her special drinks.
People come from all over to see her when she is in London or when they hear she is in their city.
She is fine with her life, She is a traveler and wanders from place to place when she feels the need, She has no intention of ever falling in love again,
However on a trip to New York, she meets Taran, He is also a member of a witch family, He has no problem attracting women, but he seems bored and restless, When he meets Calypso, he is intrigued, He feels a deeper connection with her than any other woman, Calypso feels it too and it scares her, She knows she could fall for him, So she runs far away from him,
A year later Taran ends up in London for work and is determined to see Calypso again, He shows up at the pub owned by her parents, He wants to know why she left him without a word, Calypso is shocked to see him, She is scared and confused, She doesnt want the feelings he is causing, She runs again to Paris, To her amazement and dismay, Taran follows, When she runs to Vienna, he shows up there too, He is determined to follow wherever she leads,
Calypso has to decide if she can let go of the past and open up her heart, She needs to believe that love is worth it and that Taran is her destiny,
I really liked Tarans character once he decided that Calypso is who he wanted, He was persistent and patient, He knew she was running from her past and continued to follow her wherever she went, It opened his eyes to more than just who she was, It really made him stop and look at himself, His epiphanies were fun to read,
Calypso was a great character in her free spirited self, However her fear of love border lined on obsessive and after awhile annoyed me, It conflicted with the character she showed otherwise, When I continued to read the storyline, I questioned her strength and honesty of other traits,
I had a hard time getting into the story as I like to, I prefer to be totally immersed in the characters and the plot, I think that the inconsistencies with Calypsos character really turned me off the progression of the story, especially when she would run out of fear instead of face it.
I would lose more respect for the character, So I would give this book aout of,
One Hell of a book to read, Calypso's character is so strong yet so fragile, Some inspiration for those who need help moving on in life, Pretty good writing. The book got me hooked, Content worth making a movie!
But my little complaint is that Alf's cancer could be dealt in a better way and Nell's character could have had a little more depth!
Perfect Chic lit! I've only just discovered this author and I really loved the first book and thisnd one didn't disappoint.
I think I loved it more, It's very funny and I really liked all the destinations in it, especially Vienna, It makes me want to visit, I hope there's a new book soon, I heart anything that falls into the sixth sense categoryESP, clairvoyance, premonition, seeing and speaking to ghost and magical powers.
And of course, books about witches fall in that category,
The latest book to sing its sirens song to me is Trouble Brewing by Jane Tara, This engaging book with its blend of lightheartedness and base notes of truths live each day to the fullest and dont let your fears keep you from love provides the perfect escape reading.

One reason is the perfect fantasy heroine, Calypso Shakespeare, Calypso is a gorgeous “wild freespirited gypsy” that relishes her vagabond lifestyle, She travels fearlessly around the world from continent to continent, flitting briefly to her family home and then she is off again.
Her psychic talents allow her to see others needs and hurts and then mix the perfect potion as in drink alcoholic drink to mend that hurt:
She turned to him.
“Her name was Mary. ” A statement more than question,
“Bloody Mary!” “How dare she dare she treat you like that!” She sprang to life and began to mix: vodka, tomato juice, a splash of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
She grabbed a lemon, deftly sliced it in half and gave it a quick squeeze, Her hand slipped into a jar and returned with a pinch of something that smelt of August rain, Her lips moved slightly, an incantation as she sprinkled it into the glass,

“This should do the trick, ” A quick stir and wink as she slid it toward him, “Drink it in five mouthfuls no more, no less, ”

He did as he was told and placed the glass back down, gently, warily, It tasted like summer and it wasnt until that moment that he realized everything had tasted like winter for way too long.


Calypso is a true adventuress, but even if she cant admit it out loud, deep down, she knows

that she is running from something or maybe it is someone

But when the Winds of Change come calling at your doorstep lifes plans are sure to get jumbled up.
And any girl would love to get jumbled up with Taran, In fact many girls have, but can you blame them

But then, Taran did pack a punch.
He was an Adonisor at the very least, a human incarnation of his namesake, Taranis the thunder god, The name suited him: his beauty was dark, almost menacing, His face was perfect: chiseled, masculine, and yet beautiful, He had jet black hair, a haughty nose and intense blue eyes that teased, yet warned you to not get too close.


Taran and Calypso have a history, And even if one level she not exactly thrilled to see him, on another level she is:

“So what do I get now Im here”
“Exactly what you need.
” There was a pause and then Calypso launched herself at him, Her arms were around him, her lips were pressed against him, He was stunned for a moment, He obviously hadnt been expecting thisnot right away at leastbut then she felt a ferocious heat surge through him.
One hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her even closer while the other grabbed a handful of her hair.

The connection was immediate and fierce,


Along with confident, footloose Calypso, you have the delightful plot device of watching Taran pursue his lady lovesomething he not used to doing, since women usually fall at his feet.
However, Shakespeare women only have one true love, and Calypso has already had that experience, even if it didnt work out.
She not making it easy for him,


“Are you throwing me out”
“I know it not something youd be used to, but yes.
”
“Cmon babe, why dont you crawl back in the nest with me, ”
Calypso burst out laughing, “Does that shit work with other women”
“Okay, ” He grinned. “How about another shag”
“Tempting “I have an appointment, ” She tossed him his pants,

So Taran has to resort to a little scheming:

She was a slippery as mercury.
Taran realized he was going to have to start singing a very different tune, “Lets spend the next three days together, and then you can head off to wherever, I dont expect anything from you, Calypso, Im really busy with this show coming up so I dont have time for complications either, ” Taran didnt admit that he found her far from being a complication,


Sometimes a fun romp through an enchanting or should I say enchanted world is just what you need to relax and unwind.


This is the second book in the Shakespeare Sister series, but it easily stands on it one.
Now I am off to find the first book, Forecast,

When I was a little girl and just starting to read chapter books I stumbled upon a series about a funny witch and all these years later I am a sucker for a book with witches and magic.
Trouble Brewing did a great job blending magic, wit and love into one great story!

Trouble Brewing is bookin the Shakespeare sisters series, and even though I haven't read Forecast bookyet and I was able to enjoy, and understand Trouble Brewing just fine as a stand alone book!

I loved reading about Calypso Her magic is in creating the perfect potions to help others let go of things and move on.
She is funny, carefree on the surface, loyal and easy to like, Calypso is different that your typical female lead in a story, she is independent, confident and satisfied with her lot in life.
Her gypsy like ways of collecting friends and lovers all over the world was a nice change and made it more enjoyable to watch her fall for Taran.


Taran is an man that knows how to get the ladies and they usually flock to him until he decides it is time for them to go.
Then he meets Calypso and everything changes, How can he not chase after the one woman he can't forget

I really enjoyed Trouble Brewing, it was a fun, lighthearted, emotionally charged story, with the perfect touch of magical whimsy.
The secondary characters were very engaging and enjoyable to read that at times I wanted the story to expand and tell me more about them.
I can't wait for Nell's story, Jane Tara does a wonderful job creating a world where you believe in magic and destiny and all the wonderful and crazy things that go along with it.


Trouble Brewing is a great book to get lost in for a few hours, This was my first Jane Tara book and I will be anxiously awaiting more from this author, If you like a bit of magic with your love stories then this is the perfect blend for you toclick away!
