[Kira]

Chapter 1-2: (view spoiler)[Katarina is quite different from her sisters and cousins considering she'd rather spend time outside than be at the party. I like her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3-4: (view spoiler)[Her fliritng with Issac is so entertaining and quite refreshing from all the other books. She has some fire in her (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5-6: (view spoiler)[Why do I feel like Isaac is not merely a servant and just estranged from his rich family, that seems to be a pattern in these books (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7-8: (view spoiler)[Well now my hopes are squashed after the conversation Kat and Isaac had. I believe both of them could have handled the situation better by talking calmly (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Well Isaac hurting Kat so much prior to revealing his true identity was unnecessary. He could have just told her about it instead of refusing to marry her like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

I'm going to start this one now

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[Why was it so hard for them to want to see their own sister play? They should want to show their support. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[I hate that Harmony feels like no guy would want her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[So he just comes to her house to pretend to give a music lesson then they kiss... Okay. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[Ugh I don't like this insta love (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[He doesn't want to tell her he is rich i bet. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Okay. I hate David so much. He was so controlling. Like she says she doesn't want to talk to you. You don't go forcing her into talking to you. She leaves because she can't stand you aren't telling her something. You don't go have sex with her. Ugh he made this book awful. I hated it so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Kira]

Chapter 1-2: (view spoiler)[I think it's awful of her dad to send Arabella away for Christmas and although she is mentally prepared for an arraged marriage it still must be scary. Nathaniel seems like the dark broody type and it would be interesting to see how Arabella is able to capture his attention given his denial to respect the match made so many years ago (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3-5: (view spoiler)[I am so loving Arabella and Nathaniel rn, their conversations are very entertaining and the banter is amazing. The whole scene with the swans had me holding my breath for something to happen between the two and then it did and I was literally screaming inside. Nathaniel is a mysterious sort of fellow and I can’t wait for Arabella to make her way inside his heart (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6-8: (view spoiler)[When Nathaniel was so distant with Arabella , I certainly hadn’t expected him to be so soft hearted and always disappearing to take care of the birds in the barn! And to think he even saved himself for Arabella which I seldom see in any historical romances….my heart is melting. He is so fucking sweeet! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Why can’t i have ONE book where I don’t end up annoyed with a set of parents ugh the way Nathaniel’s parents reprimanded him horrified me but I was quickly calmed down by Arabella defending him so beautifully. I absolutely loved her confession and the pair are perfect for each other imo (hide spoiler)]
