emotional
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.25
HEA
Standalone
Tropes:
- Rich FMC/poor MMC
- Forbidden Love
- Secret past
- Different worlds
FMC: business woman, beautiful, rule follower.
MMC: bad luck, medium height, not the most handsome, adventurous.
My opinion:
I enjoyed more the 1st part of the book, the 2nd part felt like the writter was a little rushed when writing it, there were even some inconsistencies on the timeline of the 3rd-act breakup but it didn't affect the story much.
I liked Nate a lot and I didn't dislike Rebeka but the on the ending

His Bountiful Gifts by Sadie King

I knew this was short but how could they tease with the...body👀 of the MMC and then not having him use it.
Also it was cute but way too short, they went from meeting each other on a chapter and on the next one they were saying I love you.
I don't understand why the author decided to not add at least another chapter where they spoke before they were "falling in love".
It was interesting though, and I got it on the Stuff Your Kindle Day so I don't regret reading it.

3.0
Standalone
HEA
Tropes:
- Omegaverse
- Inmate H
Opinion:
Writing could have used an editor but it didn't have that much mistakes.
The book was pretty basic but for some reason I really enjoyed it.
Also besides the fact is a killer I didn't feel the book being that dark.
The trigger warnings make it seem worse than this is.

A Springtime Scandal by Nadine Millard
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.25
HEA, standalone
Fade-to-black
Tropes: - 3rd act drama (short time separation)
- Virgin FMC
- Travel together in carriage
- Ruined FMC
- "Why do you care?" moment
- One bed (he sleeps in chair)
- Drama with mean ow
- FMC thinking he loves mistress but he only loves her
MMC description:6ft or taller, blue eyes, handsome, viscount, very protective of FMC.
FMC description: 5ft4, petite, brunette, brown eyes, beautiful but insecure about her looks, naive, innocent and calm, overlooked for her sisters, the one who takes care of everyone but nobody takes care of her.
My opinion:Elodie never stood for herself against her mother which I hated, bc she never cared for her daughters and only Christian called her out, actually the mom felt way too plain and tropey.
Also characters and everything in general felt a little overlooked, not enough depth to any of them, and since the wedding and everything was not even shown, the romance ended falling a little flat.
And would have loved to see more of Christian and to know more about his life or how he is with friends or whatever he does for a living.
Elodie was the "good" one, obedient, who does not see her worth which I usually like but there was also no character development. She never stood for herself only when running away from Christian for the 3rd act breakup and that was plain exasperating. Talk to him first not just run come on.
So I liked that the FMC was not "bratty" and was more to the sweet and insecure side but we didn't get to know anyone enough to really love them.
Also because of Elodies teaching and the whole periods view of woman, the book felt a little purist.
Everytime they so much as kissed she was already thinking she was too brazen or lightskirt, like just enjoy it dammit.
I would have understood her thinking that, bc she has always believed and do what told but since the book was fade to black, it just felt like it was supporting a little that kind of thinking, would have been better if they showed Elodie enjoying sex but well it is the authors decision to not add that to the book.
Since the other sisters are more outspoken and flirty maybe their books won't feel as purist.
