Continuing on with this wonderful series we see Micah Gould and Quinn Harper come together in a very up- hill and very sensual journey, both of them have pasts that play a big part in the way they look to the future, but can they put that all behind them and break down the walls and find the love they deserve?

Quinn has spent many years as a child going from one foster home to another and has learnt that looking after herself should always come first, but her secret affair with her best friend’s brother and billionaire Micah leaves her wanting more, but will he give her what she needs.

Micah does not believe in love and he has no intention of ever falling in love, but having an affair with Quinn leaves him wanting her and her only but there are so many blocks in the way for him to make it permanent until he decides that waking up with her each morning is what he really wants but can he really love her?

This story moves across many countries and takes us to some beautiful locations as Micah and Quinn do what they can to stop theirs hearts from opening up, lots of witty banter and such a sensual pull surely is the best way to find love. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and would recommend to any romance reader and I am looking forward to the next book.

My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.

I didn’t like narrative of feminism in this book. I definitely understand women who don’t want to have children or not to be pregnant. It’s normal. Actually I believe people only have children if they’re really sure and enthusiastic about it. Because it’s a huge responsibility that needs lots of love and patience. However, not wanting to have kids doesn’t mean you’re a feminist. That’s mean you’re a human. Feminism defends women’s rights not dictate!

And dear friends, I am a feminist. I have a career, actually I’m quite busy as a group manager. At home, my husband cooks, my sons clean, I do laundry and my cat naps. 😻 I also try to help women as a mentor whose kids have a special condition. So I know what I’m talking about or assuming that I know. Lol

I am finding it so difficult to write this review. DC has been one of my favourite Mills and Boon authors and I have enjoyed so many of her books- and rated them 4/5 stars because they were so well written and I loved them so much.

I’ve not been impressed at so far with this series, but I thought Micah and Quinn’s story sounded interesting.

I must emphasise that the quality of the writing is as always top notch - 5 stars in fact! There were moments in the book when I found myself thinking - “yes, that’s what I’ve been looking for.”

But , I found too much about the book to dislike - so overall, I found that at the end I was disappointed and I didn’t like it. That makes three in the series which have fallen way below my expectations of an emotionally satisfying romantic read.

I don’t read category romance for political diatribes or lectures. I have other books for that.

I’ve been a feminist since the 60s - but I don’t want speeches from a character in a category romance, embarking on lectures about feminism, the patriarchy, et al. The minute this starts, the character becomes cardboard and not real at all.

I found Quinn’s attitude and behaviour questionable and unreal. Everything was about her staying free and independent and more than once, she was an arrogant, self-satisfied, dogmatic character who quite frankly irritated me beyond belief.

I had just finished another M&B which had a heroine who had been damaged by her experiences in the foster system and discovering that Quinn was in a similar situation really annoyed me. Are we supposed to believe that no child has had a good experience through the care system? That all foster parents are abusive, evil, money grabbers? Sorry but I think it’s a lazy way to create a wound in one of the main characters. And does this character always have to be a woman who rejects pregnancy, because there are so many children needing homes. Can’t they do both?

And do we always have to have families with stereotypical family villains - cardboard cutouts without a redeeming feature? Micah’s father (who we never actually met) and his horrid snob of an Aunt?

Sorry - this was a well written book as one expects from the brilliant author but I’m afraid I didn’t like it. If this is the direction that Mills and Boon writers are being encouraged/directed to take - I suspect I’ll find them impossible to read.

I enjoyed the story but I wondered why the writer chose to leave out the important scene when she tells the H’s sister that she is selling with her best friends brother. I didn’t like how it was written, like a flashback memory. To important in the story to not have it written in real time. Otherwise a good story.

Reviewed at Happily Ever After Romance

A Convenient Ring to Claim Her is the third title in the Four Weddings and A Baby series. First off, isn’t that cover simply stunning? If I hadn’t already had this title on my shopping list for publication day, then that cover would have drawn me in immediately. So, covers do matter to me, it seems.

We’ve met Quinn and Micah in this series before, but this time their steamy affair becomes public knowledge, and perhaps finally, they can find the trust needed to make their relationship official and lifelong. But not before some issues are dealt with, and a real marriage becomes something they each crave more than independence and even fear of commitment.

Although I loved this couple together, there were moments in A Convenient Ring to Claim Her that I didn’t like them much individually. Oh, nothing that took away from my overall enjoyment of this one, but I was left shaking my head at some of their “reasons” for their actions and their words. It was simply a personal reaction to never seeing (or rarely) someone come through the foster care system with positive results for the rest of their lives. And just because your father is a world-class jerk doesn’t mean that you have to follow in his footsteps.

One of the reasons why I keep returning to the Harlequin Presents line is the locations that I’m swept away to visit, and there were some beautiful places to imagine visually in this story.

I enjoyed seeing Quinn and Micah finally get their happy ending, it was often a rocky journey to get there, but when they eventually got out of their own way to happiness it all fell together. Sometimes a forever love is like that. Momentary affairs are easy. Staying in love for a lifetime takes work and commitment – and I was so grateful that this couple finally realized that small but important fact.

If you love a well-written romance with steamy encounters, a couple that fits together so well but can’t always see that, and finally seeing a couple get past their issues to accept a love that can last a lifetime… then you’ll want to pick up A Convenient Ring to Claim Her soon – like right now.

I own a Kindle edition of this title.

I didn't like it. There were some aspects I liked, but lots more that I disliked.

I liked that they were faithful to each other during their years long affair (friends with benefits?). They had a good connection and were compatible.

I didn't like that the heroine didn't want to have biological children. She stated she was afraid of dying and leaving the child alone in the world without her, but yet they adopted a little girl in the epilogue (does it not matter if she dies and leaves that little girl alone in the world?). Then the hero decided he didn't want biological children to spite his father's family of continuing his bloodline.

I wasn't a fan of all the feminism talking points the heroine spouted.
I didn't like the heroine majoring in feminism and having a shirt saying "Feminism is my second favorite F word". A.

This third instalment in Dani Collins’ series is a moving and poignant read. It tells the story of vivacious Quinn, a heroine whose light hides the deep emotional scars left by a fraught journey through the foster care system. Collins captures, with aching clarity, how such childhood experiences shape the adults these children become — guarded, wary, and carrying wounds that never fully fade.

The hero, despite his immense wealth, bears scars of his own, shaped by an unfeeling father and an uppity, judgmental family. In both, love is the currency they most crave yet the one they least know how to spend. The result is a tender, heart-wrenching romance where pain is palpable, redemption feels hard-won, and love — once finally grasped — is all the more precious.

[Lynn Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fireworks are flying in the 3rd book in Dani Collins’ Four Wedding and a Baby series! Readers of the previous book in the series will recognize the characters and the set up quickly as it picks up shortly after Quinn outed her secret years long affair with her bestie’s brother Micah. The characters are endearing and easy to like, the plot is rich with strife and drama and the emotions are spot on. I wanted a bit more when it came to the ending and follow through of their happily ever after, but overall I enjoyed their story a lot.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a bit of family drama with your romance.

[MJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.75 stars
This was a first for me in HPlandia: main couple is friends with benefits of many years. It's not the most romantic situation but sadly, a very modern one? This setup only worked for me because the couple remained faithful to each other even though they didn't discuss it and had no expectations of monogamy since they weren't in a formal relationship. While the romance was a bit lacking in the beginning, I enjoyed the story of two broken people finding each other and love.

(The beginning of the book is very jarring and confusing. I'm not sure why it was written this way but I'm glad I didn't give up despite that.)

Emotions that run deep and true

Micah and Quinn both had trust issues. Although they had known each other for years it took them a long while to realise that they actually cared deeply for each other. Once they realised what these feelings were they were able to find and cement their happily ever.

Quinn Harper learned from an early age to take care of herself because she couldn’t depend on anyone as an orphan. She has an affair with her best friend’s brother, billionaire Micah Gould. He was raised by his father who was not a nice man.

[Janie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sparks are flying between Micah Gould and Quinn Harper in Book 3 from Dani Collins's series "Four Weddings and a Baby." Their past comes to light in this story, and we see how it leaves a mark on what they want for their future. It's a great, quick, hot read.

[Carmelita Clardy · Rating 3 out of 5]

An okay read

This is the 3rd book in the series and it was ok. The h and H had an off and on relationship, she was his sister’s best friend. There was so much angst and sadness at times. Both characters loved each other but preferred to run away. The ending was ok.

[Yolotzin · Rating 2 out of 5]

The age difference was questionable at first, especially when finding out their first meeting was when she was 16. But, oh, he realized she was a woman at 19?? And was like “buy yourself something with my card”??? Yucky. But somehow I got past that and finished it, and it was like any other
