Cute, not as smutty as I was hoping for and a lot of the plot points were just a little too pat.

KINKTOMATO, just not into the extreme age gap/he takes care of her thing.

Smutty smutty Santa fun working at a sex toy shop for Christmas. This one almost completely hit the spot, which just enough plot/romance to keep it interesting.

Wow. What a difference. WILDLY better than the previous novella (The Earl in Winter by Kathryn Le Veque), the connection between the two MMCs is minimal at best, despite the fact that they are brothers. It's like how they wrote Multiverse of Madness without watching Wandavision- there are a few mentions of characters from the other story but they don't align in any way. This is a lovely ghost romance with an HEA I saw coming but worked decently all the same. Both of these were weirdly anti-Scottish though, which seemed like a choice.

Well, first of all, this is misadvertised as “A Medieval Romance” when it takes place in 1746. But also it was just all over the place, there was a whole misdirect as to who the FMC was? And the romance was nonexistent. Plus very religious and preachy, and seemed weird for this guy’s brother to get special treatment as opposed to the other English soldiers. I really just read this as a prelude to the story by Kerrigan Byrne, and I hope that one is better.
