Chapters 45 - 49: This volume was fun and I am enjoying getting to see more of the various people from Tenjin-ya as well as the newer characters from the rival inn. I am enjoying the slow progress in the relationship between Aoi and Ōdanna as the series continues and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next volume.

This was a really fun Retelling of Thumbelina combined with Hades and Persephone and was my first retelling of Hades and Persephone. I appreciate the description of each of the original stories at the beginning since I wasn't familiar with Hades and Persephone and the recap for Thumbelina was helpful. I loved all the characters in this story, especially Percy and Hayes. The relationship between them was fun to see develop and I also liked how Hayes interacted with all the other characters. This wasn't my first fairy tale retelling by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future because so far they have all been fun and enjoyable stories.

This is another fun small town standalone novella from the interconnected series Loving A Mountain Man. I enjoyed getting to know both Grant & Peyton in this story as well as some of the side characters including Rachel and her food stealing cat Sir Buttercup. The epilogue was really sweet and I look forward to reading more stories from this series in the future.
