This is a cute romcom novella. The pacing of the story seemed a bit off, but overall I enjoyed it. I didn't expect the references to Jane Austen, so that was a nice surprise. There's been a lot of Jane Austen in my bookish and movie world lately.

This was and cute and quick novella. I would have rated it higher if I didn't find Molly's reasons and stubbornness during the last half of the book to be so frustrating. I thought she was focusing on the wrong thing to be mad about.

Okay, so I dove into Royal Valentine because I wanted to read the second installment. It also doesn't hurt that this, and the next one, were available as audiobooks on my hoopla app either. Two birds, one stone and I was a happy girl.

Now, if you never guessed it, this book revolves around a certain holiday. Valentine's day to be exact. The romance was pretty adorable at times. I probably would have enjoyed everything a bit more if the book was longer and things slowed down a bit. Since it's a pretty short one, everything moved at a much faster pace.

That's pretty much my only complaint. Still, it was good and I'm excited to jump into the next one.
