The One by Marni Mann
4.0
As I wrapped up The One, the final installment in Marni Mann's series, I found myself feeling a mix of satisfaction and disappointment. On one hand, I was excited to finally dive into Rhett's story—a character I had been eagerly anticipating throughout the series. His journey was compelling, and I truly loved exploring and hearing his story and struggles that were alluded to throughout this series.
However, I couldn't help but feel frustrated with the book's structure. The frequent shifts between the past and present made it challenging to fully immerse myself in the narrative. While I understand the storytelling technique can add depth, in this instance, it felt disjointed and interrupted the flow of the plot for me. (I struggle with past and present structured books)
Another aspect that let me down was the noticeable lack of spicy scenes that had characterized earlier entries in the series. I had hoped for the same level of intensity that drew me in from the start, but it seemed to be dialed back this time.
Despite these critiques, I’m not ready to give up on Marni Mann just yet! I plan to take a short break and explore something different, but I’ll definitely return to her storytelling, particularly with the Dalton family series. I'm hopeful that I’ll find the same spark that captured my attention in the earlier books.
