The whole accidental/surprise pregnancy trope is a non-issue for me, but I've seen several reviewers who get pretty salty about it. lol I haven't read the previous books in the series, but I imagine at some point I'll go back and do that. I've been subscribed to Croix's newsletter for ages and have several freebies from her. Having enjoyed this one, I wouldn't hesitate to read more from her.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-44516713698443101502022-06-30T08:23:41.954-04:002022-06-30T08:23:41.954-04:00Maureen: This was my first by Croix and I'm su...Maureen: This was my first by Croix and I'm sure I'll read more. :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-20063853163668985642022-06-30T08:18:36.139-04:002022-06-30T08:18:36.139-04:00Deanna: I mentioned the repetition because it was ...Deanna: I mentioned the repetition because it was enough that it stood out to me, but it certainly didn't ruin my reading experience.
