Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey
1.0
I have so many issues with this. I was already hesitant because Tessa Bailey hasn’t always worked for me, but as soon as it started out with a farmer in Texas I really should’ve quit. I am so not the ideal reader for this story. I’ll forgive the insta-love because this is a novella and it’s almost to be expected, but beyond that…
- the man literally calls her “my reluctant woman”
- God, I get it, he’s big. So big people gawk at him in public. So big that he’s never had a pair of pants that fits him. So big that it negatively affects his sex life. Very swoon worthy.
- If the man can buy an entire thrift shop why is he shopping at the thrift shop for pants (when we know he has SO much trouble finding pants)
- One of the first things we hear Luke lustfully think about Evie is that she’s young and hot. How young? Never told. How old’s he? Who knows.
- the sex scenes and the talk were so cringe
- When deciding not to use a condom their first time because Evie’s on the pill, she says she’s been tested. He says great…and nothing else.
- Evie makes Luke a baby sling for her five month old child after knowing this man for a weekend. (I know I said I was ignoring the insta love but the baby was implicated so I couldn’t NOT call it out.)
- She says she still texts her mom but that her child’s only ever been held by herself and the nurses at the hospital? She can up and move across the country but not take her son to meet his only other relative?
- Luke Ward. Everything about him in this story. He’s a walking pack of red flags.
- This has barely anything to do with Christmas. They have sex on Christmas Eve, and flirt with each other around the excuse of Christmas presents.
