This is age gap (10 years), forbidden romance where the MMC falls in love with his best friend's little sister. I liked it. It was all fluff. Yet, the author did a great job making me care about the characters. 4🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

Happy Tuesday! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions. Everyone is welcome to play. I will tag a few Littens to get us started.

My answers:
💵 Yes, I still carry cash. A couple of restaurants and local businesses offer a discount if you pay with cash.
💵 The MMC comes from money and made a lot of money himself in the tech industry. Some his actions are greatly influenced by his wealth.

This one was just OK. The dialog was cheesy, and the humor sometimes fell flat. Also, if I had to read another scene involving man-scaping, I was going to lose it. The first book was much better. 3 - 3.25 🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

I liked this second chance story about a retired MMA fighter, Aiden, who lost his wife to cancer and is starting over as a gym owner. Loved how protective he was of his daughter. Also, liked FMC too. Always love a strong FMC. My only issue is, it got a little ridiculous how Aiden thought 10 years was too much of an age gap and how he was hung up on the idea that he had not grieved enough. Minor stuff, still a good story. 3.5 🌟

This maybe an unpopular opinion; however, I just couldn't make myself finish. Bailing at 35% read. I didn't care about the MC and the plot didn't get my attention. The whole thing felt like a slog. #HailTheBail #Read2025 @DieAReader
I was reading for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville challenge and was excited since I enjoyed Bardugo's other books. On to better things!

TheSpineView @DieAReader Amen to better books! 5d
Gissy I haven‘t post my review yet but I didn‘t like it. It was so different of Bardugo‘s previous novels, it was not like her writing style at all. 4d

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. Tagged. This one pulled at my heart strings. You also have to read Keeping 13 because it is a continuation of the story.
2. Not yet. However, I might DNF " The Familiar ". I can't get into it, and I don't care about the MC.
