Awesome

I love all RJ Blain books and the fact this one was “pure fluff” made me very happy! I can’t wait to see what happens next!!

This is a low 3 stars for me. I enjoyed a lot of this, but writing just felt very…. It, it just wasn’t good. I struggled because the writing made these characters feel like robots.

Maybe one of my favorites in this series. Two words....vintage Singer. Loved the craft aspect, loved the purring, loved the million and one over protective brothers.

Hari is a customer service call center employee by day & a bounty hunter by night. She's booked a spa vacation to handle her next batch of bounties.

Sebastian is now her fulltime handler .. and steps up to claim her as his mate. They're tackling an extremely dangerous bounty.

Murder Mittens (Magical Romantic Comedies #13) by R.J. Blain – Badly burned in a fire, the only daughter in a huge clan of brothers, and chronically single, Harri’s life as a customer service phone rep would be enough to drive anyone crazy. Lucky for her, she has an outlet for all that angst! As a government handled bounty hunter (call sign Murder Mittens), Harri just got upgraded to handle a serial killer going after pregnant women and stealing their babies. Good thing the lion she loves to harass is ready to stake his claim on his favorite lynx to short circuit her virus allowing plastic surgeons to fix her scarring! But first they have to claim the serial killer’s bounty! How do you not go crazy with that many brothers? Happy Reading!

could not finish this!!

I hate romance novels where it's clearly obvious from the beginning who the love interest is, and that they will get together with the MC. I've also forgotten the character's names now, but basically, the main character starts talking about this guy who she thinks is really hot almost from the very beginning. She has heavy facial scarring and he's the only man who's ever been fine with her face.

Before anything important happens, they first get together with little to no tension or drama. It's boring to read frankly. They're supposed to be finding a murderer together, but that plot is put off until they get together, and because the aforementioned first part was so boring, I didn't even last until the murder plot. Usually Blain's really good at writing a cohesive plot with romance woven in (I forget the title but the one with the chameleon on the cover is a great example), but this plot was so weirdly separated, like oil and water. It would have been so much better if they fell in love while finding the murderer!

I read somewhere that Blain's release schedule is apparently nuts, like six books a year or something, and honestly, I'd rather she take her time and release one or two. Quality over quantity. This could have been much better than it was, and since there's not really take backsies when it comes to published fiction, there's no chance for it to reach its full potential. Sad.
