A review by romancereviewed
Not the Marrying Kind by Kathryn Nolan
4.0
Fiona Quinn, the type A lawyer daughter of two punk rockers, wants to be married by 30 and knows exactly who she’s looking for: career driven, roots in NYC, also wants to get married. She didn’t count on running into Max, the care-free, goes where the road takes him, bad boy son of the owner of the punk rock club where her parents play each week. Together Max and Fiona team up to throw a benefit concert to save the club, which is behind in rent and may have to close if their plan doesn’t work.
What I loved:
I love the flirting and hilarious banter between the two. The sexual tension was A+. When they do finally give into those sparks, it’s explosive. It was a treat to watch each realize maybe they’ve been wrong about what or who they wanted all along.
I love all the secondary characters, especially Max’s dad who has his own adorable love story unfolding on the side. The music scene was a delight to read about, in a time when we can’t gather, at least we can read about it! It really took me back to my younger day hanging out in dark, dirty bars where the only thing that matters is the music.
I also loved the epic ending! Truly memorable.
What I didn’t love:
The reason this a five star read for me is that Max mentions “the road” and his “itchy feet” about every second paragraph. It was too much and I thought I was going to throw my kindle if he mentioned it one more time. If this had been edited to cut the mention of how he doesn’t want to settle down it would have been an easy five stars, but I couldn’t rate it 5 when I hated the hero about half the time.
