Hotshot and Hospitality by Nora Everly
4.0

I have loved all the books in the Green Valley Library series that is part of the SmartyPants Romance world. I’ve especially enjoyed the ones by Nora Everly so far, as I adore the Monroe brothers. This next Monroe brother did not disappoint me at all.

Molly was really cute and a lot of fun, and reminded me of myself in some of her silly ways of talking and combining words, etc. One example was when she thought that she “flirt-smirked” and shortened it to “flirked”. I loved her being a little thing, again, I’m very short myself. I loved how she liked to wear fun clothes, dresses with cats on them, it just sounds like something I’d do, only instead of cats I’d have dachshunds.

And I loved all of their families. I liked how at least one of the mean girls that we thought we should hate turned out to be someone real and you had to give her a little credit and feel like maybe she wasn’t as bad. To me that is realistic. Although there was the one mean girl that probably has a back story, but it is still hard to like her much even at the end of this one, just feel sorry for her mostly.

This was a cute, sweet, steamy, fun read! The only reasons I knocked it down to 4 stars instead of 5 were two things. One, I think Molly was being overly ridiculous about dragging out keeping it a secret. Two, I would have maybe liked a little more of Garrett’s back story from when he was in the military maybe? Oh, and I guess maybe a third thing. At times I kind of forgot Molly was deaf, it was almost like it only stuck out at certain points where it was necessary for the story, I don’t know. Maybe that’s just because I was speeding through the story to find out what would happen. But I loved it nevertheless!

Can’t wait for the last brother’s story, and actually, I wonder if we might get some cousins or other relatives stories from this author. There was one part where the girls were talking about all the different Monroe boys and relatives and other possibly eligible men, and all I could think was that I wished Green Valley was a real place where I could go grab my own Monroe man, since all the Winston brothers are now taken.
