Once Upon a Winter's Eve
by Tessa Dare
It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Jessica Gadziala book, I took a long break since he books had gotten a bit boring and formulaic. This one wasn’t any different unfortunately, it had the same basic cookie cutter story and nothing too unique about the main characters. I use to love he books, she use to have characters with unique and different personalities that you saw throughout series, but now I can’t even remember who is with who, let alone any specific characteristic about them.
This book at the typical editing and continuity issues that she’s always had in her books. I know she cranks them out fast, but for as many as she puts out I wish she’d spend just a little extra time and money on a really good editor that would catch these things. Or even change up her beta readers that don’t seem to catch these major issues.
I have more of her books I’ve not read, so I’ll probably read those at some point, but I think I’m done buying knew books from her unless she finishes up a few series she’s left on hold for too long. I know she just release the find book in the Rivers Brothers series, so depending on reviews I might but that one. But I’m not really interested in starting new/more series by an author/any author who has multiple unfinished series that they don’t have a plan to finish. This specific issues has been coming up a bit recently in the reading community as it frustrates readers.
ETA: Another reader summed up this series as “small town romance” and that fits so much better than MC romance. Her older books are darker and more focused on the MC or seedier side of NB.
