Once Upon a Kiss
by Jayne Fresina
This was everything that the last book by her should have been. The writing was leaps and bounds better, I enjoyed the characters way more, and the progression of the romance was much better than before.
I liked Justina much better than Molly, she was a little ridiculous and silly, I'm not gonna lie but she was also meant to be so it wasn't really a problem. It was nice to see a protagonist in a romance novel be this silly and be proud of it, it kept things interesting especially when you were waiting to see what new shenanigan Justina was gonna get into. Seeing the world through her eyes was so entertaining, I actually laughed out loud a few times and I even had to stop reading to collect myself because I was laughing so hard.
One line comes to mind and I believe it went something like, "Miss Milford bellowed across the room like a cow overdue for milking," and I absolutely lost it.
Darius was a nice change from the male love interests that I've read so far, he's very quiet and shy, very awkward and introverted, doesn't really understand how social interactions work, and it was just nice to see a male love interest that was the klutzy clumsy one for once in my life.
I thought the romance here progressed much better than in the previous book that I read which was really nice and it made the end all that much more satisfying when they finally got together (even though I knew that they would end up together).
And the writing was just in general much better and way funnier this time around than it was before. Is this in any way a literary masterpiece? No. Did I enjoy it and would I recommend it for a quick read and a fun time? Sure.
