Not the Marrying Kind by Kathryn Nolan
4.0
This is my first Kathryn Nolan book, and it definitely won’t be my last.
I loved Max and Fiona. She was such a firecracker and she was so well rounded. I loved watching her grow. I also loved how deep Max was. Here he is, this tattooed biker who’s constantly getting caught smelling Fiona’s hair. It was precious.
I will say though, he seemed a little less ‘manly’ than I’m used to. And I don’t mean that in a toxic masculinity expectations kind of way...even though maybe that is a tiny bit of it. He’s just very in touch with his feelings. His inner monologue is very aware and sensitive. I’m not complaining about that, but most of the men I know are a little more simple. It was a little unexpected.
The one complaint I had with this book is that it really feels like it should be part of a stand alone series. I loved hearing about Edward and Roxy, but there were a lot of things I felt like I was just supposed to know. Don’t get me wrong...I intend to read Strictly Professional very soon because these two were awesome. But I really felt like I should’ve read it first and I didn’t even know about it beforehand because this is listed as a standalone.
Overall though, I loved this book. I recommend it to any and all romance lovers. It’s well written and the characters are strong and believable. The sequence of events works and the pacing is perfect. There are also some fantastic one liners and scenes that will stick with you.
