Awww. This was a really sweet (and a little spicy) novella. The characters were relatable though I wish we had more time to get to know them better. Such are the woes of this format.

40% -- ”Georgie, you don’t need to have any regrets. Alex may have been your first, but there’s no special talent to being first. Whatever man wins your heart will be last. And that’s all that matters.”

*SWOON*

 

60% -- That slap came out of nowhere and I'm not sure his comment even warranted such a reaction, tbh.

67% -- With his luck, if he left a note it would get caught on a gust of wind, sucked out an open door, and then eaten by a feral cat.

lmfao

 

68% -- omg King walked in on a naked Jamie! THE HORROR.

Another fun one from Marion Lennox. There's a likable couple, fun secondary characters and a menagerie of personable animals.

My Rating: 3.5 I don't usually read adult books, especially adult romance books, but once I saw the blurb and skimmed a few pages at the ending, I just had to read this book. Sparks Fly with Mr. Mayor was enjoyable and unique for the most part, and too short to be draggy. (Don't take my word on the "unique" part since I very rarely read adult romance books.)Dani is a single parent living with her little girl, Faith. Her husband Kevin died saving a cashier during a robbery and Dani has been blaming herself ever since, not moving on. Faith, however, wants a man in her life - namely as a daddy. Meanwhile, Cole is a player - he can charm girls and even maintain his friendship with them. He has never fallen in love and can care less about love.Dani and Cole couldn't be any more different, but they match. Sparks Fly with Mr. Mayor tells a sweet story of Dani and Cole running against each other (along with other very minor characters) for the position of mayor and they both develop feelings for one another when they spend time together, learning who the other person really is like.If you wanted a quick, short, but satisfying romance read, you should try this book. ohdamnbooks: sparks fly with mr. mayor

3/5; 3 stars; BThis was a free ebook from Kobo. I haven't read this author before and liked this book well enough. It was definitely a light romance with the allusion to sex but no details. I would check out more by this author.

Quick fun read but in all honesty, not much happened plot wise. I think I just like Ms. Kevin's voice. Her characters read like someone you'd want to be BFF's with. This book makes you feel like you've just had a good, laugh-filled lunch with girlfriends.
