New series of books

Lately, I've been consumed with two new series of books. The Harris Brothers series by Amy Daws on my Kindle and in paperback form the Maggie Hope series by Susan Elia MacNeal.

Normally, I wouldn't read romances, but for some reason, most of the romance stories I've been reading on my Kindle lately have had to involve soccer, London or a combination of both, like the below-mentioned Harris Brothers series. For some reason, romance stories involving soccer and London appeal to me! Not to mention there are probably tons of cute guys in London and England in general ;) ;) ;)

The shocking thing is that Amy Daws, who writes this soccer series, is American and found it extremely hard to write English characters. Luckily, in her acknowledgements at the end of each book, she mentions that people who work with her on the book, also friends of hers, are English and they ensure that everything is good to go in terms of English culture, such as how the characters would talk or react in certain situations. She says that she is obsessed with all things London and that is what inspired her incredibly gorgeous soccer playing brothers series

The Harris Brothers series
-The Harris Brothers series involves a band of soccer-playing brothers named Camden, Tanner, Booker and Gareth Harris. The younger of the three-Camden, Tanner, Booker- play for the fictional Bethnal Green FC football team at Tower Park while the oldest brother, Gareth, plays for Manchester United FC

-The Maggie Hope series is a WWII-era spy series that takes place in London during WWII. It involves a woman named Maggie Hope, British-born, raised in America and recently transplanted back in England. She starts out working as a typist for then British prime minister Winston Churchill.
