This one lacked the momentum of the first two in the series. Felt like it ended partway through the games ~ would have preferred it in a longer book

The shift to the other realm aka Earth in the third book had me questioning if I’d continue on with the last. With the way the series shifted I don’t think it’s one I’ll be rereading. Solid resolution arc with some complications along the way.

Enjoying the banter and the rumbles of the overall plot of the series but the main character comes across as a bit naive at times.

Loved the banter in this book! So many moments had me laughing out loud. Strong independent characters that develop together organically. Would recommend this cozy read to anyone looking to enjoy some small town meet cute romance.
