When I saw My Sweet Valentine was free on Amazon I snatched it up. I remember reading the first book in the Pride Series and really enjoying it. I hadn't gotten around to the other ones yet, but since they are about different couple I gave this story a go. It was...it was a really fast paced romance with a little bit of suspense. Like lightning fast romance. I wish it would have been slower paced and had more story development. There also seemed to be a lot of one line recaps of who people are and what they are up to now. If I had known then from other books I might not have minded so much, but as it was I didn't really care since I didn't know them.Sara has just moved to Pride from Seattle where she has been stalked. She is opening up a bakery in town and meets Allen pretty quick. It is one of those instant connections and things rapidly progress. At first Sara doesn't want a relationship, but her issues are instantly solved when she talks to her mom for a minute. It was just like every issue that would come up was pretty instantly resolved. The twist ending was not that shocking, but at the same time I didn't really care that much either. It was odd. Who was stalking her and why was eh. Really the whole book was just almost good. I felt like if it would have taken more time and been developed more I would have really enjoyed it. Instead it felt like it was over before it started and was just an alright read.This review was originally posted to Jen in Bookland
