This was a super cute fun read. Nothing mind blowing, but it kept me entertained. The last 100 pages were quite a bit of a jumble tho. Lots of things going on that didn't make a lot of sense.

This was so incredibly cute. I'm pretty sure there was a smile on my face the majority of the time while reading. It touched on hard things and put them in a way that just made sense. Really made me remember some of my favorite things about when I was pregnant with my boys. I love my husband, but damn Shep is an absolute dream man.

It's been a long time since I read a historical romance last. This one gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings I didn't know I needed. There were a lot of things I felt were a little overdone. Like it being repeated over and over how plain Jane was,etc. And the Duke with daddy issues. However, there was just something about the writing and the characters that I really loved reading about. The spice I thought was really good too.

This started off with all the magical holiday feeling I was wanting and expecting. Then it turned into Tella and all her usual immature and selfish wants. Unfortunately, it was not a winner for me. I wish there would have been more of Scarlett and Julian.

This has been a hard one for me. I liked the world, but I couldn't stand Isla. It might just have been reading this via audiobook, but the transitions threw me off multiple times, and I could never really get used to it. Love triangles are also one of my least favorite tropes, so it's probably my own fault for even reading this series.
