This book was so sweet and charming. It made me laugh and it made me cry. @rv_stryker did a grand job of making these characters lovable and have depth with less than 100 pages.
The story follows two characters who knew each other when growing up but parted ways as adults, only to find a spark when they found each other again. I loved the healthy vibes of having big emotions and respecting other people's emotions; loved the strength of the FMC, the kindness of the MMC, and honestly the old man Papa was a highlight. It has great family vibes who loved each other and had each other's backs.
Also, the Miss Congeniality references were perfect.
Absolutely the cutest. Little Clover stole the show honestly. But Cass and Enzo are absolutely the cuuutest! I was dying with anticipation. I love that the friends didn’t realize they were each other’s “mystery date” or at least pretended not to know. I can’t wait for more from RV Stryker. Hopefully more featuring cutie patootie Clover!
Happy debut day to R.V. Stryker! Moonlight Muse is an absolutely well rounded first novella! The only thing I wish is that it's was spicy! It's the only thing missing. This is such a sweet quick read. I enjoyed it so much! I really can't wait to see what comes next for this author!
Impressive for a start to finish story in oh so many pages. I want to see more of these characters even if it’s an Easter egg someday. Congrats on the debut ! Curious what else will be coming from you.
