Overall, I enjoyed these short little novellas. The first 3 in this were really cute and I enjoyed them quite a bit. However, I will say by the last 2 in this one (Rescued by His Mermaid & Chased by Her Unicorn) I wasn't too enthused with these.
Kidnapped by Her Bigfoot: For Brexly Vos, she wants nothing more than to graduate with her degree in business and help to start selling her parents crafts. This is her way to help them out and get them out of the traveling circus to settle in one place. However, before she can graduate she has to pass her film class. Around campus there's always been kids talking about Bigfoot in the woods. What a better way to at least get a passing grade than to just film her spring break looking for Bigfoot. But what Brexly finds isn't a Bigfoot, but her future and a man who may have people believing he could be Bigfoot but he's anything but a monster.
Loved by Her Yeti: This story was probably my favorite of the bunch! Penelope has such an adventurous spirit it's hard not to love her. After her father's death Penelope is left alone and grieving. When she starts going through her father's things she discovers all the material her father gathered for their trip to find a yeti. To feel connected to her father she decided to go on the trip herself before getting back to the real world. Penelope may not have found a real yeti, but she does find a man who may resemble a yeti and someone she can't seem to live without.
Claimed by Her Sasquatch: After turning 18 and being kicked out, Emma is down on hard times. She's out of money, has not job, and can't seem to catch a break. When she goes to interview at Stratton Lumber she's sure she won't get the job, after all she's no lumberjack. But that doesn't stop her from begging for a job and eventually finding herself as a maid and cook to one sexy lumberjack. Cleaning isn't so much the problem...it's cooking and Emma is hoping she can at least fake her way to cooking for the lumberjack to keep her job. This was a cute story as well. I loved that Emma was so feisty and willing to stand up for Heath when others give him a hard time. It was also so sweet for her to embrace her own "freaky" self to make Heath feel less self-conscious.
Rescued by His Mermaid: Not really a favorite of mine out of this series. Whereas with the previous stories in this collection all of the guys had actually isolated themselves from the real world or were abnormally large that they could've been mistaken for their forlklore name, there wasn't much of that with Andie and Owen. Owen was a bit endearing with how enthusiastic he was to finally engage in an adventure of his own. Also with his clumsiness was pretty at times.
Chased by Her Unicorn: This one absolutely wasn't my favorite of the collection. Marvel is known as the kind of girl who can never make up her mind. She changes her hair color and job every month. Milo knew this about Marvel, but he still loves her. After YEARS together, yes years, Milo thinks Marvel is cheating on him and breaks up with her. When he realizes his mistake he travels to Iceland, chasing after Marvel to grovel. Not quite sure how the whole unicorn aspect was suppose fit into this and I think that's what annoyed me about it.
I really liked all of these stories. The stories included are:
Kidnapped By Her Bigfoot I really liked this story. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable even with the kidnapping. The characters were interesting and likable. Brexly was way calmer than I think I would have been given how she meets Ezra. Ezra was a sweetie. He just handled meeting Brexly the wrong way. Lucky for him, she was ok with it. They were so good together. I loved their happy ever after
Loved By Her Yeti I really liked this story. It was funny, entertaining, and interesting. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Penelope (Pen) decided to go on the trip that she was going to go on with her dad and search for a yeti. Atticus was a ranger on a secluded island. The way that Penelope and Atticus meet was absolutely hilarious. The reaction that Atticus had was a crack up too. There are plenty of feels. Penelope and Atticus were super sweet together. I loved their happy ever after.
Claimed By Her Sasquatch I really liked this story. It was sweet, entertaining, and enjoyable with plenty of feels. I did a lot of laughing with some of the things that happened or were said. The characters were relatable. Heath and Emma seemed like opposites, but they weren't in all the ways that matter. Emma was caring and protective. Heath was protective, possessive, and growly. I loved that Heath helped Emma and his reasons for doing so. Their happy ever after made me smile.
Rescued By His Mermaid I liked this story a lot. It was short but a fun and entertaining story. The characters were interesting and likable. I loved how Owen was so excited about getting to do new things. Owen seemed to have such joy for living that it was so sweet. I loved that Owen and the way he was, woke Andie up from the routine her life had become. I loved the way Andie seemed to enjoy how Owen seemed like an excited puppy when he did things. They were so awesome together. I loved their happy ever after
Chased By Her Unicorn I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable once you find out Milo's reasons. The characters were interesting and likable. Marvel and Milo have been together a long time. Out of nowhere, Milo breaks up with Marvel. Marvel decides to take a trip (with the help of some alcohol) to try to get over her heartbreak. Milo ends up on the same trip with Marvel. Milo and Marvel have a bit of an adventure. I loved their happy ever after.
A boxset full of super quick reads. A touch of sweet, funny, and super steamy. For the most part all of the characters were likeable. The folklores were great! HEAs.
Characters = 4/5 Plot = 4/5 Romance = 4/5 Mystery = 1/5 Action = 1/5 Darkness = 1/5 Humor = 1/5 Stars = 4 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Would I recommend this book = Yes Would I read future books by this author = Yes
I enjoyed this collection of novellas. They were each a stand-alone with similar themes. I liked most all of the characters and their individual stories but I did enjoy the "Mermaid" the best.
You will fall in love with the Folklore series. These were fun, steamy cute reads. I absolutely loved every couple from Brexley and Ezra, Atticus Penelope, Heath and Emma, Owen and Andie and finishing out with Milo and Marvel. I really enjoyed these books.
I enjoyed all of the stories but particularly the Big Foot stories. There’s something about those tall, guarded men that fall in love with their girl so fast.
Overall this was ok. The first three were very cute, over the top, instalovey that really worked for me while I was in a reading slump. Didn’t love the last two.
I really loved one through three. I was not a huge fan of four or five. if there was a collection paperback option for just one through three I'd be all over that one.
