A review by saeruh
Lady Whistledown Strikes Back by Karen Hawkins, Mia Ryan, Suzanne Enoch, Julia Quinn

funny lighthearted

3.5

The First Kiss by Julia Quinn

-⭐️⭐️⭐️

-enjoyable but very predictable and straightforward

-i never love war/soldier stories so it could be a me thing

-cute little switcheroo on how she was the rich one and he was dirt poor unlike most other hist roms

The Last Temptation by Mia Ryan:

-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

-very steamy

-loved Bella’s live-in-the-moment attitude and her overall sort of ditzy/elusive (not sure if that’s the right word?) character 

-always love a he falls first and hard story

-interesting concept of how she was a party planner, I just wish the party theme itself wasn’t so problematic (even though i try to remind myself it takes place in 19th century Britain so not the most politically correct of settings)

The Best of Both Worlds by Suzanne Enoch

-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

-idk I just enjoyed it a lot

-rake who falls hard with a ‘plain’ girl who really isn’t that plain

The Only One for Me by Karen Hawkins

-⭐️⭐️

-didn’t like either of the main characters, one of whom had a last name of Throckmorton like bffr

-the reason for why they were estranged was revealed WAY too early like within the first two pages and I didn’t want them to get back together

-WAY TOO MANY DOUBLE NEGATIVES IN HER WRITING

-the brother was kinda funny
