I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. It has plot holes, is very predictable and easily forgotten. Past all of that, it’s a cute short story for those looking for a quick read.

Royal Valentine was a cute way to kick on my February reading! I always check my expectations when reading a novella, but this one pleasantly surprised me.

Molly and Al/Jaime have a cute romance but then are pulled apart by forces. When they are reunited, can Molly learn to trust again?

Because this book is short, a more detailed synopsis gives the entire thing away. Molly and Jaime are sweet together, living their best introverted lives. Molly has some self-worth issues to work through, and Jaime needs to make up for his huge misstep. I enjoyed the pacing in this book, because insta-love isn't my thing. Jenn McKinlay did a good job of building time in to make it seem like their relationship had a proper progression. This book will not be life changing, but it was a worthy use of an hour to kick off my February month of reading. I'll continue on with the series.

This was cute but super short- so it felt a bit rushed but it was still good.

Cute but I think the novella length didn't give me enough time to really care too much. And the story wasn't anything new, which is generally fine but overall I don't think this brought much to the table.
