I read SIncerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills and this short story was such a sweet read.

This is a cute and fun novella that is part of anthology and I hope will eventually be a full length story. Dane and Piper went to school together from high school on and now that Dane’s twin bother is married to Piper’s best friend they end up spending a lot of time together. Piper has always crushed on Dane but believes he has her firmly placed in the friend zone that she just accepts their relationship as is until one night a text makes her think about more. Dane hasn’t had it easy in life, he derailed at one point, and his relationship with Ari fizzled out because deep down I truly believe he’s always felt like Piper was his. In this story Dane comes to Piper’s apartment dressed as a werewolves and so the chaos ensues. He recruits her to help with a scavenger hunt that ends with an epic ending/beginning. The tension between them was tangible, the chemistry off the charts, and the can they will they flowed off the pages. I rally hope we get more of their story!!… (meer)

This was my least favorite in the series. I thought I was going to love it but Emma was so over the top unwilling to forgive Aidan which got OLD! She was even cruel to Pesh and Aidan because she couldn't make a decision to save her life. She actually invites Pesh over to Aidan's home to eat dinner with her then agrees to go on a date with Pesh picking her up at Aidan's?? She was only supposed to be there for 2 weeks so my question is why couldn't she wait until she went home? How damn inconsiderate could somebody be? She wasn't even smart enough to realize it was wrong. I came so close to just DNF'ing this book! The last 40% was the only reason I gave it 2 stars and the fact I'm intrigued with Pesh so want to read his story now. I'm just hoping it's not a mistake.… (meer)

The plot of these books sound so good....but, they just don't quite get there for me. I felt this reading the first one but saw all the reviews saying it was better.....so, I gave it a try. It fell short too for me. Mia was the big problem! I can handle when the heroine has issues if she is smart enough to over come them. Unfortunately, she was selfish/stupid the entire book! She made all the bad decisions then tortured him with her insecurities. I wish he had told her to take a hike! I found it easy to put the book down to do laundry/dishes...not a good sign. I pretty much just skimmed the last 25%.… (meer)
