Blame It on the Brontes by Annie Sereno
4.0

This book is adorable and fun! I thoroughly enjoy all of the different love stories going on around the main couple and how they learned from their own choices to help others. The setting of a small midwestern down throughout fall and the early part of winter is charming, and I loved the quirky Cafe which is run by Thorne, the male lead.

I will say this was a little slow to get started, and it did feel like some of the big reveals were a little slow to be revealed. Also, this book is about a young English professor seeking tenure by tracking down an elusive erotica author, yet every potentially erotic scene was actually "fade to black." I don't need erotica to be interested in a storyline, but I was kind of expecting it with this novel.

Overall, this is a very cute, uplifting story and I would certainly recommend it!
