I hoped this would be better than Untouched, but it wasn't. There was the RAWR RAWR alpha male bad boy manwhore again who shows the innocent, blushing virgin how it's done. idk man, but no thanks. "What we have is real" after knowing each other for like six hours at most? SURE DUDE.
Also, are there no other adjectives to describe a woman than "luscious"? That was used for her lips, hips, and curves in the span of like two pages...

This wasn't very good.
I don't think there was much of a plot one could follow, the sequence of events just happened and it was always the same, regardless of whether eight hours or two days or two weeks had passed since the last snippet. Obviously this is a prequel and I assume the plot points only started here (Juliet's anxiety? Her father's alcoholism? Whatever is wrong with her mother & her sister? Emerson's family situation and siblings - one of them didn't appear in the story and it was never even mentioned that he's the brother, I'm just assuming!) will be addressed in the actual first book, but I don't think this "stands alone" (as the summary said).
I also didn't much care for the relationship. The insta-love was nothing but cringe-worthy (eight hours??? COME ON PEOPLE!), but the sex = possession point made is just creepy. Also, how the heck was Emerson able to tell from basically "the look in Juliet's eyes" that she's a virgin?!
So am I going to continue the series? Probably not. (tbh I only got this cause it was free on Kindle and I need some books that start with "U" for a team challenge. I might read the other free novellas for that purpose though.)… (more)

This is a very short story prequel - and as a prequel it's probably more interesting. As a short story read, it really doesn't give you much.

Three lovely Christmas romances and one lovely romance. Melody Grace has created short stories peopled with characters who inhabit her fictional holiday town. The first three are very festive, but the last, while not set at Christmas time, is the best. Enjoyable and adorable tales. Well worth reading.
