This was cute! I downloaded it on a whim because I saw it had plenty of good reviews, and I was actually pleasantly surprised!
It took me a little bit to get used to Lourdes’ narrative voice, because that sort of casual tone is usually a turn-off for me, but once I did, it had me cracking up. And I loved the Morte brothers, each of them for different reasons.
I thought the story was paced well, it wasn’t over-written, and the end actually had me crying. This was a solid “why choose” fantasy romance!
