Isn't it annoying when the last 40 pages aggravate you so much that it brings down your overall feeling for the book?? This was a 4* read for me until the final misunderstanding, which left it as a borderline so-so. The main story employs a marriage of convenience, which is pretty much my favorite trope. Tessa and Leo are both likable characters, although I would have liked more from the supposed decades-long feud between their families. In the⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) end, there's a misunderstanding that Tessa blows WAY out of proportion, accusing Leo of some pretty terrible things. This would have made sense at the beginning, but now they've been living/working/talking together for months, so for her to still act like he would do this stuff felt really unreasonable. There's a big fight and they both say mean stuff, yet for some reason it's all Leo's fault. We get the absolutely infuriating ⬇ 4mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) “she doesn't want to talk to you because you were sooooo mean“ when Leo wants to apologize the next day (despite it honestly NOT EVEN BEING HIS FAULT), and of course HE has to make a grand gesture because Tessa “deserves“ someone who will “treat her like a princess!!“ No, Leo, YOU deserve someone who doesn't flounce off to pout for days instead of having an adult conversation. 🙄 So yeah, despite actually enjoying this book for the ⬇ 4mo

Clwojick Crushing that iSpy! And I agree! I know there‘s always going to be something towards to end of a romance to potentially tear the couple apart, but I HATE when it‘s just one person being an untrustworthy ass-hat. 4mo
Bookwormjillk Yes!! Drives me nuts. Not so easy to find an Indiana book though. 4mo

Just a bit late posting my May #Bookspin TBR. The five blanks were for #TrappedOnAnIsland, but I didn't see anything for this month. I'll have my kids pick something for me :)

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I think #TrappedonanIsland is on pause this month as our host hasn't posted in a while. 😕 5mo
Pigpen_Reads @TheAromaofBooks Yeah, that's what I thought. That's fine 🙂 5mo

The group that was the big winner in April was #SeriesLove2023. I didn‘t realize I‘d read so many of the books on that list 🤓 I‘m also happy with the number of books I‘ve cleared off my shelves already this year.

Otherwise, I did really well on my other challenges.

An enjoyable week of reading. 7/8 books were #SeriesLove2023 reads. I also finished my #BookSpin book and another #TrappedonanIsland book.

This week I‘ll be starting #BuddyRead books for #Naturalitsy, #RandomClassics & #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD & one of my #AuthorAMonth books.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 5mo

Well my week went slightly off course. Instead of In a Dark Dark Wood for #aam I read The Farewell Tour because it came in at the library and I wanted to read it before it‘s due back! Dark Wood isn‘t in demand, so it will keep another week.

I read Still Waters & Three Men in a Boat for #trappedonanisland

This week I‘m dropping everything to read my ARC of The Road to Roswell, an upcoming release by one of my favorite authors!

Book 2 in the Booker Brothers Detective Agency series was, I think, better than the first. We spent more time with the characters & may have an interesting series storyline set in motion. Fun, quick cozy mystery.
