Hice más skimming que lectura, pero es q solo quería terminarlo porque no sentía q estuviera tan malo el libro como para dnfearlo después de haber avanzado tanto. Le doy 2 estrellas, y esa 2da estrella se la ganó pq me gustó mucho q el MC fuera tan simp con la MFC, en los últimos caps se puso medio wn si, con esa actitud cavernícola wna q les da a las autoras por reflejar en sus protagonistas masculinos, pero bueh... una ya está acostumbrada a esa tontera.

It was an easy read and the plot was good, but not as good as the first in the series. It did feel a little like these were the same MCs from the first book, but renamed and in a slightly different place. I'd be open to reading more Alice Coldbreath but definitely only in small doses so the similarities between each book is less glaring.

Another winner from Alice, a honest female with an opinion and a burly male that needs that tender touch. He could have been more of a jerk but thankfully he wasn't. I liked how he was fiercely loyal to her and it was surprising until you knew his history. I liked seeing their story unfold.
Usually these romances are about the woman and how she feels/her history. There is some of that, but since she is an orphan there isn't much. This book is more about Benedict and how he came about to the belief he needed respectability in his life and to be successful and then stumbled upon the woman he loves as he pursued his dreams.
He listened to his (gut) inner voice a lot which seems rare in a novel (for the man). Maybe it is there but they just don't spell it out that I remember.
I am the type of person that likes it when an author walks us thru their daily life and I enjoy the little conversations about mundane things (if I like the characters and the banter is sharp and fun). So this book did not bother me at all, I feel like I really got a feel of the life in a caravan and at the fair. It was pleasant.
One reviewer said it didn't have any real drama since things (like Lizzie missing and Benedict upset she was gone) were wrapped up quickly and not dragged out- I am fine with that. I hate the novels where the characters jump to conclusion, storm away in anger and tears and it takes way too much energy and emotion to fix something that could have been resolved simply.
My life has enough drama that I don't need it in my escapes :) One negative? Some of the food choices listed- gross- no more talk of jellied eels please.

Lizzie and Benedict
Benedict is an acts of service KING. He just loves caring for Lizzie so much and is also realistic that she doesn't really know how to do things.
If you hate miscommunication this book is for you - they COMMUNICATE, they SIT DOWN, they RESPECT one another. Seriously where are more books like this? I want more like this.
There's no big conflict between the pair - it's lil conflicts around them that they face as a united front even if that means filling in the other person later.
Contains:
NO third act break up
COMMUNICATION
Travelling fair based story
Family dramas
Working class romance
Four spicy scenes plus a few fade outs.
