Not the Marrying Kind by Kathryn Nolan

5.0

Kathryn Nolan knows how to write a LOVE story. If you want swoony, big-hearted feelings mixed with filthy fantastic dirty talk, then Ms. Nolan is the writer for you.
Max and Fiona captured me from their first interaction on the fire escape and I followed their should we / shouldn’t we dance eagerly. Fiona is the Type A, buttoned-up lawyer with a secret inner wild girl, and she has plans to be married before she turns thirty. Surely her contracts and spreadsheets will lead her to the man she’ll spend the rest of her life with?
Then in walks Max. The anti-Prince Charming with a heart of gold under his tattooed chest, who never makes a plan that lasts longer than a night.
And when they come together: fireworks.
Of course, she should resist him, she has a plan that doesn’t include men who leave.
Of course, he should resist her, he doesn’t do plans or roots or anything that ties you down.
And then, love steps in.
This story is full of characters who leap off the page (and the stage); community and family that remind you of the good in the world; and a love of music that will have your feet tapping in time. Not the Marrying Kind is a love story for the ages.
