A review by bucolicbookshelf
The Awakening of Ivy Leavold by Sierra Simone

3.5

Why have I not read more Sierra Simone before now? This is only my third title by her, and I need to rectify that. 

It’s a good set up for the series - you learn the basics about everyone, have a few steamy scenes (spice level - 1.5/5), and, if you’re like me, you really want to read the next books in the series. 

But, 

*Yes, Ivy, we get it, you have no good marriage prospects. 

*I missed the backstory - I’m hoping that with the next titles readers will learn more

*The narrator did a terrific job with voices, though had an unfortunate tendency to lean toward annoying sing-songy breathiness in this.

Overall, I enjoyed this more than not, and look forward to reading more of the series.
