A review by fischers_reads
Sunshine and the Recluse by Megan Wade

medium-paced

3.5

This book started out fantastic. I absolutely loved how grumpy Dylan is and how sweet Millie is. I loved the tension and how he wanted her so bad but she is 24 and he’s 49 and he just thought he was too old. Then once he caves and tells her he’s into her I felt like I got bored. This is a novella but it’s a longer one so the build up was nice but once they told each other how it felt the rest went super fast! It’s like a slow burn in the first 50% and then super fast the rest of the book. There is a moment where communication could have solved the problem but the FMC chose to run and that pissed me off. We know the miscommunication trope isn’t one I’m too fond of. Otherwise I really enjoyed this novella and I really love Dylan.
