Nicole and the Unending TBR

This was so good! I love the way Sarah Sundin writes WW2. She has that ability to pull you into the lives of people who lived this period of history. I loved how the tension in the story kept me wondering what was going to happen next. The romance is one of my favorite from her! It had the action,  and the suspense that kept me flipping through the pages.  And that ending left me so satisfied! A very happy reader! I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the publisher through Netgally.  All opinions in this review are honest and completely my own. 

I hardly ever read Victorian era novels,  yet when Mimi Mathews has I new book announced I definitely look forward to it! Siren of Sussex introduces to new characters (and brings in some old ones). Her characters always feel unique and in so many ways,  real. You feel the characters needs, wants, desires and fears.

Dancing with Dandelion is the final book in a series that has been a delight to read. I started the series while lockdowns were happening and I loved having a new chapter to look forward to every few months.  Andie is the final sibling in the Bloom family to get her story.  There were many things I enjoyed seeing in this book. I loved that we got to know Andie as a forty something woman.  Contemporary romance is rare to see this age bracket so I liked that. I enjoyed the banter in the enemies to lovers trope. Ross was probably my favorite of the two. He was confident,  and had that drive to pursue Andie when  her attitude could frighten away others. He balanced her out. Often characters like Andie sometimes get on my nerves with how they always have to be right. In her case she grows and changes,  not into a different person,  but she grows from experience in the story.  I loved the touch of suspense that came into this story.  I enjoyed the banter that turned to some sassy flirting!
