notguilty's review against another edition

Another wonderful addition to a favourite series. It has everything you could want from a Lucy Lennox story - humour, wacky aunts, gorgeous human beings (inside and out), and plenty of beautiful love. This whole series is built off of found family…a family that keeps growing in such tremendous ways.
There are a lot of wild antics but there is also plenty of stirring emotions. Dante’s life before the Marian’s is heartbreaking, and AJ’s involvement as a real-life superhero is beautiful. As is their connection.
I loved Dante learning to own his past, and take control, but I also appreciated the support he took from AJ in the process.
It’s going to be really sad when I’ve finished this series.

Ok. I liked the guys and most of the family, but I'm just done in on all the aunts and granny silliness. These women make Grandma Mazur seem sane. And half the book is dedicated to something crazy that aunt Tilly did.
I also thought the guys had sex too quickly (blowjobs count as sex, it's not all about butt), and there was too much of it.
I think this could be a very good author, if she just found someone to tone down the crazy bits.

I’m so done aunt Tilly. She’s the worst! Everytime she's on the page, I lose any affection I have for the rest of the characters. She's so annoying. She was kinda cute in the first book, but with each book, she becomes more and more vulgar. I hate her so damn much.
Lennox's books are hit and miss, sometimes I love 'em, other times I really hate 'em, this one just did not work.

Funny and heartwarming - a great addition to the series!
I love Lucy Lennox's books, and this one was no exception. Dante was a mix of confidence and vulnerability, and I loved him from the start. AJ was such a good fit for him, though there were a few bumps in the road. Their chemistry was scorching hot, but even more than the sexy times, I loved their banter and comfort with each other.
And of course, it wouldn't be a Made Marian book without Aunt Tilly and the rest of the crazy Marian clan! I had to put this book down while my husband was sleeping because it kept making me snort with laughter. Five stars, and I can't wait for more from Lucy!

This is one of those stories where the relationship is manipulative and unhealthy, but it’s written in such an engaging way that it’s still fun to read if you don’t think about it too hard.

I enjoyed this a lot, I liked the cult family background and the way it was handled.

This book destroyed me in the best way. Dante and AJ are just too perfect for words. Tilly provided much needed comedic relief and Sally's demonstrations/parties left me wheezing from laughing so hard. This entire series is my happy place.
re-read: I love this book so much. Dante is a fave of mine and AJ is so sweet. but more than that, this introduces Aster Valley and that pleases me more than words can describe.
