Another Fantastic Story From Alexandria Bellefleur
Format: Kindle
Love this author so much that I THOUGHT I had pre-ordered this book. Now I'm late to the party, but realizing that this book had been released made my day yesterday. Less than 24 hours later, I've finished the book and I miss it already.
In my opinion, Bellefleur is damn good at writing romances that feel like they could be real. That's not to say they aren't swoonworthy - they definitely are - but she finds the romance in the everyday instead of relying on overly flowery declarations and grand gestures. Okay, fine, there are some grand gestures, but it's the combination with the little things that make her love stories so great.
A couple quick additional things I will say about Bellefleur's writing at this story:
- She stays true to her characters. They change and grow, but they do so in a way that fits them or aligns with the influence of their partner. I also appreciate the fact that her characters don't talk and act the same way from book to book. Each character feels like someone new to get to know.
- The spicy scenes are - *chef's kiss* - practically perfect. A good amount of scenes with a good amount of words dedicated to each without any cringeworthy metaphors.
