Check-ins/Updates:
Before I begin:
Still a SBU pick and loving this season ๐ฅฐ From the product description, seems like any other HR ๐ง but it may surprise me ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Monday: Chapters 1 – 4
The beginning didnโt go like I expected ๐ค From what I gathered, Sarah is unfortunately meant to marry Felix Foot but sheโd rather lie about being promised. Sarah sees and injured ๐ค unconscious Colin and nurses him back to health. When we first meet Colin, he is captured ๐ฑ but he escapes ๐ฎโ๐จ Feel this will be encountered again later ๐ง Sarah claims to be engaged to Colin ๐๐คฃ Definitely not hooked on the story YET but intrigued ๐ค Appreciate the action packed in already ๐๐ฝ and itโs atypical typical start ๐ง
- The way the story begins, we see Colin is different from our other heroes this season ๐ค What happened before this book? Colinโs come ons ๐๐ Interesting reading a POV of someone whoโs done wrong ๐ง Canโt say Iโve hadโฆ Can only imagine ๐ญโฆ
- What did Colin do?Liking this season too ๐๐ Get the bell comparison ๐๐๐ #priorities ๐
Tuesday: Chapters 5 – 9
In this section, we see more of Colin as a scoundrel from otherโs POV ๐ค because, otherwise I donโt see itโฆ In that sense, feel like Iโm missing something not having read the prior books ๐ค Like Sarah as a character, still TBD about Colin but the kids SHIP them ๐
- As always, great summary ๐ Get more information about Colin ๐ง mr. Foot ๐คฌ Agree, we should count. Its like therapy, may be easier to be yourself when your past is unknownโฆ
- My notes are wrong ๐๐คฌ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ been spelling Foote Foot ๐ In this case, it might be better thereโs stuff we donโt know ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Wednesday: Chapters 10 – 14
Mr. Snyder adds an interesting dynamic to the plot. Like the relocation to London. With this relocation, we finally get kissing between Sarah and Colin. Family dynamics always test a relationship, but we see Sarah-Colin arenโt ideal ๐ค Honestly forgot how Sarahโs dad diedโฆ Howโd it happen?! Foote seems to be out of the story now.
- 2 months laterโฆ Is it me or was there a jump? Food is how some people show their love ๐ค Double fake engagement ๐๐ฝ Did I miss desk sex?! ๐ Whatโs a red herring (besidres a fish)?
Thursday: Chapters 15 – 19
Honestly, mixing this up with
Key similarities are fake identity ๐ค Colin continues being plagued by his pastโฆ Footโs back in the story ๐ฑ The threat he poses is pushing Rose and Colin together, not entirely to their ๐คฌ๐ Seriously getting a better grasp on the old Colin ๐ง
- Charlotteโs going to add spiciness ๐ถ Whoโs Charles? Fake dating (when done right) โฅ๏ธ Liking the friendship with Jane ๐ฅฐ Thatโs SBU is so clutch ๐ wouldnโt get Colin context otherwise
- Footeโs role is bigger than I expected ๐คฌ I feel thereโs more page time given to Foote when thereโs another unaddressed conflict ๐ค Reading this with The Marquess Makes His Move and having bouts of ๐ต๐๐๐ Built up the story forreal! 2 villains ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ now!
- #priorities ๐ด and ๐ถ sad ๐ข to hear Colin was essentially prohibited from doing music ๐ถ nothing like a near death experience ๐ฅฐ sucker for letters โฅ๏ธ epistolary ๐
Friday: Chapters 20 – 26
3rd act expected bored ๐ but I enjoy Colin & Sarahon page together ๐ Knew we didnโt see the last of Felix Foot ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ They exchange I love yous a little late, but I get this miscommunication (just sad it happened after a kidnapping). What if Sarah really died?! ๐ฑ No 3rd act break-up ๐๐ฝ and no epilogue ๐๐ฝ๐ซถ๐ผ
- 4/4 for kidnapping so far ๐๐ฝ Wedding skipped AGAIN. ๐น ๐ฅ (just that it happened). The daughter should be addressed in future books ๐ค
End of book ๐
This story began unexpectedly but eventually followed the typical plot devicesโฆ Contains care-taking ๐๐ฝ and a heroine I enjoyed. This story needs to be read in series order (for best reading experience).
