Reading Challenges:
There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan:
1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris,
2) He’s not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants, and
3) He doesn’t know how to knit.
After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn—former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat—is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he’s more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day—thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions. But Janie, much to Quinn’s dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane.
Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses?
After a miss in this series (I really did not like Greg and Fiona’s storyline), we are back to good contemporary romance fun. Janie and Quinn aren’t my absolute favorite, but their story is delightful to read. And we finally get to learn more about Quinn’s past and family. Thank goodness! He’s not just a man of mystery anymore. The entire scene in Vegas is worth the entire book. I was so very excited to see Nico and Elizabeth’s wedding! They are my favorite couple so far. It was nice to see how Janie and Quinn got to the next stage in their relationship. I’m excited to dive back into this series.
