What am I doing living over here when I'm supposed to be living in either Rose Hill or Chestnut Springs!!
So, last year Bruna and I attempted the firsWhat am I doing living over here when I'm supposed to be living in either Rose Hill or Chestnut Springs!!
So, last year Bruna and I attempted the first book in this series and we both DNF because we couldn't get into it! But! Then I absolutely loved Wild Side so I gave this one a shot and I'm so glad I did bc this was so good!
Elsie writes the most foul mouthed, dominant yet caring and MMC's that worship the ground their women walk on! She absolutely delivered with Wes and Skylar. I'm also not even mad one bit that this series has many single dads - I will eat that trope up all day long.
The pacing is really good - the kids are the cutest. The foul mouthed parrot cracked me up.
This was really fun and I loved it - I'll give book 1 another try now ...more
I'm sorry. I've tried 3 times with the audio and I can't get into it. I won't rate it bc I really didn't make it further than like 25%.

I know this is Disney. I know it's a children's tale. I really thought it would be something I could vibe with, especially bc I have such a love for Tinkerbel, but every time I put on the audio I feel like a kindergarten teacher during movie time.
2.5 Stars. I'll round up because I feel a little bad. It's not that I think the book is terrible - it's just not really my taste.
We follow our FMC, Da2.5 Stars. I'll round up because I feel a little bad. It's not that I think the book is terrible - it's just not really my taste.
We follow our FMC, Danica and our MMC, Ezra who are both attorneys at separate firms. The two end up as opposing counsel in a major divorce case between two very wealthy and powerful individuals.
I tried. And all of these stars are basically for Ezra, I thought he was a great MMC. Sure, he could have been a little more fleshed out. But all and all I loved him. He had swag, a great personality, a sense of humor. Definitely seemed like he could lay the pipe lol.
The characters are supposed to be in their thirty's I believe? It's a little hard to believe when these two have so many issues with their parents. To a degree I can understand Ezra's circumstances. He comes from a wealthy family. His father is a big powerhouse attorney name. It made a little more sense to me why he may have some daddy issues that are difficult to navigate.
But Danica? Girl bye. You're mad at the ripe age of thirty something that your parents are best friends after divorce? Oh how terrible. First world problems. I mean really cry me a river.
It's completely reasonable to have family issues no matter your age - it's just the way the character comes across sounding like a child. World hinging on what her parents do. Woe is me.
There's also a fair amount of miscommunication and complete lack of communication sprinkled with a steady seasoning of avoidance of communication. Again, understandable to a degree but got really old with repetition. I understand feelings are scary but at your mid thirties you should be able to talk.
Every single time these two seemed like they were about to talk about their feelings. Or LITERALLY just talk it was brushed off to bang. Which was pretty frustrating. Not sure what the author was trying to do there other than not develop her characters.
There is a side story going on regarding the case the two are 'opposing' counsel on that made for an interesting side story and of course Ezra was a gem the whole time, I wish there was a little more to his character.
Danica annoyed me the entire time. She doesn't even deserve him lol.
I do think this would make for a good beach read. Steamy minimal substance romance.
This was cute, but also didn't hold my attention very well. I honestly dipped out at 76% to move on to something else lol. This was cute, but also didn't hold my attention very well. I honestly dipped out at 76% to move on to something else lol. ...more
Sigh. DNF around 65%. The MMC and FMC are both Mary Sues. I really tried to get into this one and wanted to love it because I really enjoyed another oSigh. DNF around 65%. The MMC and FMC are both Mary Sues. I really tried to get into this one and wanted to love it because I really enjoyed another of the author's books, but I just couldn't connect to these two.
I wasn't a big fan of the fmc and how she was a little pushy when it came to the care of the child. Idk. It was for the benefit of the kid, don't get me wrong and it all works out... she just grated me. And then the spice was pretty cringe.
I apparently forgot I put a hold on this one and it just dropped into my Libby queue this morning. Honestly lol perfect timing - I could 2 stars. RTC
