it was amazing

Fun, cute, sweet, funny!

I really liked the book because it was nice to read in bed and it felt funny and relaxing at the same time! I really liked how PANDANIA gave each of them a family that sort of enhanced their personality.

Really good book with 3 refugees.

I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

So suspenseful yet so exciting! Harry can’t seem to stay out of trouble!

I love this series- I started with the Wandering Inn Series by the same Author and now listen to this one as well, which diverges to a different continent and plot line in the same magical world. I am hundreds of hours in and still look forward to each new release!

I gobbled up this book in a day! This fun romance is just the type of escapist chick lit I crave. The man is stern, handsome and ridiculously wealthy. The woman is a maid in the service industry who has her head on straight. The two share banter, physical chemistry and a believable emotional connection. Author Lynn Painter does such a great job with this genre. The audiobook narration was great!

Wow, this is some good horror stuff right here, yes absolutely more of this. Really enjoying the "deviancy" angle--homosexuality and violence as deviancy and how those overlap in a world so violent to LGBT individuals, also I thought this was going to be so corny because of the "killer santa" trope but I know nothing evidently, can't wait for the next issues.

A little slow but I loved the characters and history. It made me want to go back to Florence and see the artwork with more appreciation.
