I enjoyed this book immensely. I love books that intertwine and give you peeks at how previous characters are doing. The characters are well thought out and the storyline leaves you wantIng more. Each book in this series held there own plot and lovable characters. All were unique and their own way. Clean reading. I didn't have to skip whole chapters to avoid the sex scenes. Lol Please read.
I absolutely loved these four varied but interconnected stories. They are short but they pack a punch. I loved that the stories weren't padded with lots of misunderstandings and wasted time, they just get straight to the couples meeting and getting on with their futures. The setting was unique and I loved that too. I want to read about more couples in this complex as well as catch up with these ones at a later time. More please.
The Single & Seeking series is very sweet, a little sexy and a lot touching. The five couples in these four novels are very deserving of their happy ever afters. The way the friends supported each other and interfered for each other was great and the humor was very welcome. I would recommend this series to any reader.
This is four beautifully written love story with adorable and charming characters and heartwarming story with a lot of surprisingly sweet and refreshingly honest and romantic moments
What I liked about the book is the deep and compact storyline. The plot is perfectly woven and the contents is well developed. The title is what attracted me at the first place. The portrayal of the scenes are captivating and I loved the book completely. Definitely recommendable. Thank you.
