Game designer Sadie Delacourt has moved to the peaceful, bucolic town of Damson Valley for a fresh start where she can keep an eye on a recently divorced sister and her small nephew. Sadie plans to focus on her business and her family, until handsome neighbor Gideon Granville turns his focus on Sadie. When Sadie learns where Gideon has been aiming his snooping skills, she’s ready to delete him from her plans entirely—though Gideon is all that stands between her and the trouble she thought she’d left behind her.
My thoughts:
I have no idea what I just read, it was confusing at times, and romance should not feel confusing. I was all what? Also it was way too rushed. Sure some books can be novellas and short stories, but this was a Book crammed into a novella, and it did not work.'
It was about Sadie who was forgettable.
Gideon who, oh sometimes the book confused me who was talking, but srsl Gideon, check what you are doing.
They liked brownies, did it, lived happily ever after and I was all, what happened?
It did not work. Total failure

Yikes! Definitely doesn't sound like a book for me. I hate it when books are cramped like this.
ReplyDeleteSooo bad
DeleteOh! Sorry this did not work. Novellas definitely need to be simple.
ReplyDeletelol But brownies though...
ReplyDeleteEven that blurb sounds kind of vague
Karen @For What It's Worth
Brownies for the win
DeleteSounds like a very bland read. Sorry it was a dud.
ReplyDeleteI expected better
DeleteOh what a shame because I prefer contemporary and Grace Burrowes can write a good story.
ReplyDeleteI so like her books, but alas no
DeleteYes do
ReplyDeleteHope your next one is more to your liking!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too
DeleteBleh - I'm sorry. No romance should be confusing.
ReplyDeleteWe can't love em all
DeleteOh sorry it didn't work there

DeleteBad romance novels happen - like all the time. What kind of name 'Sadie' is? It makes me think about Marquis de Sade. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteLOL, only you :) it makes me think of a fortune teller
DeleteI hate when that happens!
ReplyDelete:(
DeleteYes, I can see where too much is not a good thing in a novella-length story. I've read two of the full-length from the series and liked them, but I wouldn't want to see those stories crammed into a third of the page count.
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least it was short.
It did make me wonder if I wanted to try more from this series, but if you say the others work then I'd trust ya
DeleteOh, bummer. Successfully sharing a quality story in a novella-length book is tough. I've always wanted to try her stuff - not this one, tho!
ReplyDeleteDo try her other stuff
DeleteThat sucks. She's one I won't read anymore :/
ReplyDeleteYea, looks like one I would pass on. Some people can really pin down a novella and some just don't quite get it.
ReplyDeleteIt so did not work for me
Deleteoh this sounds disappointing. I haven't tried these books yet. I like her historicals, but not many authors can write novellas well.
ReplyDeleteHer historicals are fun
DeleteAw sorry to hear this one didn't work for you
ReplyDelete:/
DeleteBummer, that shouldn't happen with a romance
ReplyDeleteyeah :/
