Her friend is so self centred and obnoxious.

The notify me button is clicked off again everyone.

Her best friend is obnoxious. Maybe she shouldn’t end up with the brother of this person.

Which do we like better, best friend’s brother or brother’s best friend?

Ugh I’m struggling, is this putting me in a slump?

🥱

This is getting late in the series where authors like to trot out every previous character and use a book as an extended epilogue of all the other books.

⭐️ You guys!! There are half and quarter stars now!! Why didn’t anyone tell me?? ⭐️

I like the dopey cheerful aliens over the grumpy ones.

So this one isn’t in the arranged marriage trope of the series. Should be interesting as I was getting tired of the same thing with this series.

I don’t know what goodreads is up to today but nothing is working. Are they upgrading the review page with changes no one wants again?

Ya, this is just an extended epilogue. Glad it’s free.

A man whore and a 26 year old virgin….worst trope ever

Gotta get back to this one now.

Why did goodreads change their review page? Of all the changes I’d like on this stupid site, like maybe having a server that loads it faster than five minutes, I would not choose changing the page where i write my reviews.

This book has 69 chapters… interesting choice.

I struggle with this hero, he seems like a nice guy but also is so self absorbed and insecure.

Some of these chapters are an hour long 😵‍💫

This is a bit of a slow mover. Too many side characters from previous books.

Omg listening to the narrator read out several chapters of email exchanges is annoying af. They read the to and from and the subject line over and over. 😵‍💫
I’m sure reading it is fine but listening to it is awful.

I’m bias here but I’m definitely on the side of the ‘nasty reviewer’. 🤣

I love Mary Balogh but she’s such a boomer. You can’t pull yourself out of abject poverty with a good attitude and hard work. Rich people don’t get to where they are with hard work, most especially not the nobility she writes about. 😂

She rejected him because he was too good looking and too nice. 😏

Could this be a true enemies to lovers?

Mistletoe is kind of rapey, if you think about it.

Oh this is a Westcott Family crossover novel, we finally have Bertrand’s story. And Mary continues to give us the most unsexy names for romantic heroes.

This hero is a skeeze

I somehow doubt a hugely publicized and promoted novel by a major publisher could tank on one single critical review. Most readers of popular fiction don’t read reviews in the New Yorker anyway, they are more likely to buy the book based on where the publisher placed it on the shelf in the bookstore or how catchy the cover looks.

It’s hard to read a Christmas book in September

“We’re taught all our lives to put our faith in rich and powerful men. We want to believe they care about our interests and know what’s best for us. But no one will admit the obvious: The very reason they’re rich and powerful is because what they care about most is helping themselves.”
