Don’t get me wrong (or do, it’s not like I'm going to lose any sleep over it and stuff), I don’t dislike Catalina as a character, but she doesn’t make a convincing lead for me. (Goes to show you can be both utterly nefarious and ever-so-slightly harebrained.) And after reading three stupendously scrumpalicious books written from a kick-ass, independent, strong, adult woman's perspective (Nevada might be only in her mid-twenties, but she is much, much more mature than your average female UF juvenile nitwit lead of the same age), the switch to Catalina’s POV was a bit, err, you know, um, unsettling and stuff. The thing is, I never stopped to think how the change in POV from Nevada to Catalina might affect the tone of the story, and how different it would be from previous instalments in the series as a result. In short, I very logically assumed that because this was IA and because this was Hidden Legacy, I could expect to experience something akin to this: (He was supposed to marry someone else, you say? Don’t be ridiculous now, Mr Tactile and my little nefarious self have been affianced for decades and our nuptials were announced eons ago. I mean, I was somewhat kind of excited at the prospect of reading a new instalment in this series (which I like a little), especially since it was supposed to be about my wedding to the Yummy Butcher of Merida. When I started this book, I had no particular expectations. It is a truth universally acknowledged that I read this novella wrong and have Despicable Book Taste (DBT™). I nearly almost rated it 3.345862 stars and a half but then thought that if I did the Mostest Awesomest Authorlords might force me to relinquish my harem rights over the Scourge of Mexico, so I didn’t.

Book 6: Ruby Fever - to be released 2022Īctual rating: 3.5 pathetic stars.

I might unleash my murderous children on the Mostest Awesomest Authorlords if doesn’t happen post haste. So expect to receive the wedding invites by NSCPS (Nefariously Speedy Crustacean Postal Service) pronto, my Little Barnacles.

There’s no way the Tactile Mum can resist such a Superbly Extra Sexey Sensible Loving Face (SESSLF™), if you ask me. Which might a teensy little bit awkward given that she’s my deliciously tactile husband’s mommy, but they both have very open minds, so I’m pretty fairly reasonable certainly sure they won’t, um, you know, mind and stuff.

➽ And the moral of this reread is: I’m so in 💕lurve💕 with Nevada’s MY dragony lovely mother in law that I’m seriously thinking of asking her to marry me.
