Counts should’ve really subtitled this “Help! I’m in Love with a Reaganite!”

I don’t know why the reviews are so low! I’m enjoying it. Definitely the language is old fashioned (it certainly reads much older than 2003), but I like old movies so I’m digging it. My one critique would be that it’s very American!

I'm absolutely picturing Tom Ellis and I'm LOVING IT.

The dialogue is totally anachronistic.... but the banter is amusing, nonetheless.

Michele Paige Holmes’ story was so sweet!!! Big, big historical inaccuracy, however. Like, the second wedding would’ve been straight-up illegal. The banns would never have been able to have been read - they’d have to be married on the continent & the scandal would’ve been huge. Sweet romance, tho!!

Heather B. Moore’s book was okay! I skipped a bit at the end because the wedding scene was cliche & a little cringey. I wish the heroine would’ve been more constant & not dragged the older suitor into it. But, I suppose she was young and the hero left her hanging for weeks on end.... all in all, kind of an unsatisfying ending to an otherwise sweet love story.

DNF the Donna Hatch segment. Her writing is fine, but her organization leaves something to be desired. Character’s motivations keep seeming to change & new information is given in a way that feels sensational. Next!

I’ve read it before, but I can’t remember it very well. Need to reread it to rate it!

Holy coma-splice, Batman! I’m not the best at these either but I’ve seen a couple obvious ones. The more disruptive thing, in my opinion, is that Anna’s mother and father sound like ELL. The father has an odd speech pattern (...typos?) and the mother absolutely sounds like she’s speaking a Latin based language translated into English.
