STORY

A lovely story again in this series. Effortless audio with plenty of catch up times with all characters. Mitt’s definitely stole the show 🐈 for me. Hopefully book 5 will see the Emmett and Cara story unfold. 🤞Long live the Vipers. 🏒

STORY

A great story again, however a little more Insta love. The solid use of the literacy device of Anthropomorphism for the dogs and the  of Mitts. Fabulous. The young children were written with great care vocally and with realism. It is clear that the author has definitely worked with young child. Great to see the “oops” chapter appearing again. Loving having the previous characters popping up and giving their stories a little nudge.

STORY

Another great book in this little gem of a series. This book had me in fits of laughter with it’s the use of Anthropomorphism for Indiana Bones 🦴. Simply brilliant comedic writing. This book, for me surpassed book one in many respects. Loving the “oops” chapter as an ending to a great story.

Ok, I think I was spoilt with the mini series before the book. While I do love a good mini series/movie I often find the book out rates, but for me, not on this occasion.

STORY
What a little gem of a series! Totally feel in love with the characters. The storyline is fun and so enjoyable to listen too. I feel as a traditional read, it might be a tad too long. Diving into book two with gusto.

📚 BOOK VERSION 📚

I did enjoy this story however there are better ménage stories out there. The male characters are delightful, but I felt that their personal back stories were not explored enough. This could also be said for the female lead. She seemed to take to the ménage /polyamory way too quickly and confidently. There would be a complex background that was merely suggested at. 

Reading the book was a little frustrating as the book was written from the various characters POVs. I had to keep ducking back to check whose POV it was from. I think the audio book would take of that frustration.
