Great resource for modern parenting at stages preschool thru high school. Great things to think about to equip your child for a changing world and empower them to do for themselves while being there for them when they need it.

Second Chance Forced Proximity with great subplots

Great second chance romance with fun family drama from the heroine's siblings (& less so her parents). A fun holiday read. Touching moments with sympathetic characters without being too sappy. Though the hero's backstory is a bit much. Also, it's hard to distinguish when they've jumped into and out of flashbacks, but that's not too bad.

Great premise, fun set up. Hard to tell if the problems are just narration or narration and story development. Heroine is likable, her grandmother and the ladies are a hoot. It's difficult to believe a woman would job switch like this one does, but given other major life upheavals she faced that's easy to overlook. The hero is poorly developed and the narration takes the sexy out of the sexy times in the book. It's a relatively quick, non-angsty read. But, not of the same caliber as the preceding book in the series.

This is a really fun listen, but it seems to have less of the fun banter and character development I love best about Penny Reid than her books typically include. The falling in love bit is very fast here and the rest is the characters getting in their own way and over themselves on their own. And it even lacks a bit of the male lead's development which is referenced but not shown at all.

I enjoyed the first two books in the series more. I really love Margot and was so excited for her to be the lead character in this book. It was fine. But, I had really hoped for more. I lost sympathy for Olivia at somepoint and a book with a lot of potential became just ok. By the end, I just didn't care about the couple and thought they would be better without each other.

I wanted to love this book. It's hard to tell if it's the narrators or the story, but it took a bit to get used to listening to this. Tim Paige has done better in other books I've heard from him. The other narrator is new to me and his accent is not what I expected. By midway, I had adjusted to combo of these narrators and this author, but I never got as invested as I'd hoped.

I love Luc & Olivier and it's fun to revisit them. I think I'd hoped for more, but this was fun.

Heroine's career storyline left hanging

I really enjoy Sarina Bowen's romance and the narrators were awesome, but this left SO MANY loose ends in the suspense/career story line and the next book in the series doesn't appear to connect at all to these characters or storyline based upon the description. It's so frustrating to see a book wind up with the heroine's career in crisis and not even an attempt to resolve it.
