An easy read, with lovable characters, and the backdrop of a Renaissance Faire. It was fun, especially as a BR with #LittensLoveRomance

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.23-end and review: well, Simon succeeded in doing the grand gesture and winning Emily back. It was very romantic - a hand-fasting that melds both their worlds - Faire and real life - together. And then the epilogue with the proposal exactly 1 year and 1 day later - be still my heart. It‘s literally all coming up roses. Emily feels like she is important and seen and Simon is moving on from his grief in a healthy way. ⬇️

StayCurious I enjoyed this book even if I did think a lot of things could have been worked out with a good lengthy conversation. But I felt like Emily‘s insecurities- while inconvenient to us - were realistic in light of her past. It would have been nice to get Simon‘s POV once in a while too. (edited) 1h
BarkingMadRead It was a perfect ending, a cute romance that 💯 could have been a novella had they communicated 🤣 1h
CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed this one. May we all remember to consistently ask the right questions. Nice to see April pulled into some more socializing too. Thanks for hosting this BR. 1h

#LittensLoveRomance ch.21-22: Well, Emily did ask the right questions- and while things finally got sorted out with Chris and the bookstore (at least until Spring) the talk with Simon did not go to plan. He is definitely attached to Faire and worried about letting down his brother - but it is weighing him down as well. Emily is right in standing up for herself - even though I think they could have tried to talk it out. ⬇️

StayCurious But maybe there is something planned for the last day of Faire. Everyone seems to be nudging Emily to go. Maybe there will be one final act for the wench and the pirate. We‘ll finish up tomorrow. 1d
BarkingMadRead Ugh that whole fight made me so sad, I hope they have something planned for Sunday, it‘s definitely grand gesture time 1d

TheAromaofBooks It did make me a little frustrated when Emily said/thought something like, “this was something talking couldn't fix“ - like... actually, I think it could?? I get that she's hurt and he needs to get some stuff straightened out, but it also felt like she threw a bunch of stuff at him and then just ran away. 22h
vonnie862 Well, I was not expecting Simon to act the way he did. However, I was frustrated that Emily immediately assumed they broke up. They had a fight. It's time to talk it out; not act like it's the end of the world. 20h
CrowCAH @BarkingMadRead for sure - fight for love!!! 💕 18h
CrowCAH @vonnie862 it did seem a stretch that they broke up. It was a big major fight. Hopefully they can reconnect and sort things out! 18h
CogsOfEncouragement As much as I don‘t enjoy a third act break-up, I was amused when Stacey immediately caught on and responded with: Oh, crap. What did he do? 17h
SarahBookInterrupted @CogsOfEncouragement me too and that she delayed her date to be a good friend. 💕 12h

Mehso-so

I was frustrated by both characters. There were some good parts, but basically, I wish people would talk to each other. #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious, thanks for hosting. #Read2025 @DieAReader #TurnThePageReadathon @Bookwormjillk

Bookwormjillk Hope the next one is better! 1d

Cute and light.
I highly enjoyed the Ren Faire setting. I loved the atmosphere, and I enjoyed the characters as they tried to mimic the Renaissance times. Though I enjoyed Simon and Emily's interactions at the faire, Simon's broodiness and their lack of communication were irritating. However, it was still a fun read.
3.5 ⭐️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.19-20: once again, we‘re suffering from not communicating properly. Emily is insecure - and she has plenty of reason to have learned her behaviour - but she‘s jumping to a lot of conclusions without talking to Simon, Chris and even April. She‘s allowing her future to fall through the cracks based on misplaced assumptions. She needs to talk things out - especially with Simon. We‘ll all feel better if she does.

BarkingMadRead So frustrating, she just has such low self esteem that she expects the worst at all times! 2d
CrowCAH Yes, remember the fortune 🥠 cookie?! Ask the right questions! I do pity Emily, it‘s tough moving on from past relationships when one wasn‘t treated the best. She has her own growth to do too. 2d

vonnie862 Emily has trauma but communication is key! 2d
CogsOfEncouragement They both frustrate me, always coming to the worst conclusions. Scars do take time to heal I suppose. 2d
SarahBookInterrupted Yes, poor Emily. She is so insecure. It makes me so angry at her ex. 1d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.17-18: naturally the doubts creep in. She really needs to take her own advice and give the guy a chance. But she also deserves to be romanced. She‘s never had that and it will feel nice. But will Simon woo her as himself or will he be more confident in his pirate persona?

BarkingMadRead I am really looking forward to the wooing 3d
CrowCAH That‘s a good question. Seems pirate-Simon is more romantic and lovey. While teacher-Simon is too uptight. Maybe he‘ll be able to find a balance between the two personalities. 3d

CrowCAH @BarkingMadRead same! How will he win his Faire lady‘s hand?! 3d
CogsOfEncouragement Emily‘s previous relationship seems like a cautionary tale from start to finish 😕 3d
LiseWorks I loved the wooing idea, cannot wait to see what he will come up with 3d
vonnie862 Good question. Since Simon appears to be more confident as a pirate, maybe he'll channel him to woo her? 3d
julesG The meme is 😂😂 3d
SarahBookInterrupted I read ahead now after the Wooing. I couldn‘t resist and then just finished the book. Don‘t worry I won‘t spoil anything. 🤞 (edited) 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Emily is given a well-needed nudge by a fortune cookie and Mitch (of all people!) and she goes to straighten things out with Simon. Thank goodness for that. See what talking to each other gets you, folks? But I worry that they both still have a lot of insecurities which may weigh them down in the chapters to come.

CrowCAH I was so happy for her to take that leap of faith and go to his house for a conversation! Things could work out between them! ☺️ 4d
Kshakal I am proud of her for taking a leap of faith! 4d

LiseWorks It's great to see her go for what she wants 4d
LiseWorks Love the pirate meme 4d
CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed this line -
Simon: I‘ve known [Mitch] for more than twenty years, and this is the first time he‘s ever been subtle.
4d
vonnie862 I'm glad they talked but I feel that they're boning was a little too sudden. 4d
Read4life Hopefully they continue to talk to each other and open up about their insecurities, feelings, etc. 3d
SarahBookInterrupted I wasn‘t expecting this book to be sooo explicit and detailed in the sex scene. Did anyone else expect that from the way the book had been going thus far? Now we know where the pirate persona comes from. ☺️ 2d
StayCurious @SarahBookInterrupted I was a bit surprised as well! 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: it seems as though Emily is finally ready to talk - with her sister, but maybe with Simon too. That is the only way she‘ll get things sorted with Simon. Because he is definitely not helping. Boy‘s got issues - totally understandable ones - but issues nonetheless with Mitch and his brother. I think Emily needs to be brave and take charge and go after what she wants, in both love and life. ⬇️

StayCurious But there‘s still several weeks of Faire left so…things may not be as easy as all that. 5d
BarkingMadRead Omg someone needs to smack Simon upside the head with his sword ⚔️ and how does she not realize he‘s jealous?!? That ex did a number on her 5d

vonnie862 So, is Mitch also interested? 5d
CrowCAH Emily certainly has trust issues. @vonnie862 I believe Mitch kinda likes her, but more in a flirty way than wanting more. 5d
CogsOfEncouragement I was so ready for a surprise ending to that fight, boy was I wrong. How is Emily not curious about what exactly happens at pub sing? I‘m dying to know at this point. I‘m anxious for something extraordinary to happen at this Sunday night out. @vonnie862 @CrowCAH I‘m not sure, of course, but I take Mitch as an incurable flirt. I also feel like Stacey held back when talking about Mitch & Simon “not fighting over girls” in HS. 5d
LiseWorks That fortune cookies. " Ask te right Question." Might help her. 4d
CrowCAH @LiseWorks very true, maybe give her a nudge to ask more questions. 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: boy it sure would be nice to get some of Simon‘s POV. He is giving off mixed signals. He is obviously going through stuff with his brother‘s passing and maybe he feels conflicted about his feelings for Emily. But being confusing is doing nothing good for Emily‘s self esteem and state of mind. Once again: my advice is Talk to each other 😝

CogsOfEncouragement Great advice!

I wonder what Emma‘s role would be at pub sing. I feel like the Captain is disappointed their characters are missing out on something Simon would very much like to experience with Emily, more than he is letting on, and more than Stacey would ever consider.
6d
BarkingMadRead Mixed signals for sure and poor Emily having flashbacks of Jake! Ugh they need to talk this out 6d

vonnie862 Lack of communication is what irritates me from romance books. 6d
CrowCAH Agree, I would like some Simon POV. They need to say their thoughts so some of that clears the air. 6d
SarahBookInterrupted Agreed, Emily just needs to ask. Although I can understand why she isn‘t because of her past horrible boyfriend. Hopefully they clear the air soon. 5d
