Mini Reviews: Marriage of Convenience, The Love Prison Made and Unmade, & The Wallflower Wager

I didn’t intend for this to happen, but all of today’s books have a strong romance theme! Hope you enjoy!

I really enjoyed Marriage of Convenience, I thought the relationship between the two main characters developed organically and ended up being very sweet (p.s. this was 🔥🔥🔥).

What I liked: I really liked the discussions had on the prison system, what it’s like to be in a relationship with an incarcerated person, and how difficult it is to adapt back into society after being in prison for so long. I also enjoyed the writing of this story, Ebony Roberts is a fantastic writer. I also listened to the audiobook for this story, and it was great, Robin Miles is an incredible narrator. 

What I didn’t like: well, nothing really, I mean the ending felt extremely abrupt, but that’s fair because Ebony hasn’t lived out her story yet.

This was just always going to be a story that didn’t quite work with me because I have a hard time investing in a relationship that is primarily built on letters, or emails, or phone calls, and that’s 100% a me thing. I think this story will work for a lot of people, and a lot of people will enjoy it, so if it sounds interesting to you then I highly recommend you pick it up.

I’ve kept up with this series because I enjoy the audiobook narrator so much, but I think this’ll be the last of Tessa Dare for me, I can’t say historical romances particularly interest me, though maybe I just haven’t found ones I’ve loved yet. The writing in this novel is fine, and the characters are likeable enough, but I don’t love the setting or the set up. If you’ve enjoyed the other novels in the series then I’m sure you’ll like this one.

If you’ve read any of these books or plan to read them, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Happy reading 💗.
