Take a shot every time Bram complains about being a man, or calling himself a real man, or telling himself that all Susanna wants is a real man, or complains about not feeling like a real man. Toxic mascilulinity at it's highest.
EDIT: 21/2/2025 - okay, this book wasn't AS bad. I still wanted to shoot Bram half the time he opened his stupid mouth, but hey, progress! Also, this book is now 3/5

It wasn't horrible but it was boring and felt unfinished, good thing it was so short.
Liam's bet was supposed to be important but I didn't feel any urgency from his to win it. Also we don't know how the bet came to be: were they all drunk or something? He threw the deeds for his favourite place of Earth and yet still he was just fine losing it? His brothers apparently sabotaged his efforts but we're never met them so idk if they dicks just because or was there something more sinister going on.
I hated that Holly never told Liam about her being a leprechaun. He deserved to know, damnit. He deserved to know what she was, what her magic was, even if she was going to lose it, he deserved to know. I hated that she lied to him and didn't seem to care whether or not he should know. Even when she said she accepted their bond he still asked what did she meant and she just brushed him off.
You don't do that. Tell him, damnit.
The whole book felt rushed and unfinished. The story was cute but was expecting more - I didn't really care about the characters because the whole book felt incomplete. I couldn't connect with Holly being afraid of te bond - why would she? She hated that magic, It felt more like a curse and when she suddenly got an option to accept a soulmate bond to get rid of the magic she ran??? Make it make sense.
It didn't feel like there were any stakes. It's was just rushed and the plot and characters were very superficial. We don't know anything about Liam's brothers or what Holly's father did that he was considered the worst?? I've no idea. It was all empty underneath. All surface, no filling.

I was going to give it 3 stars, but that PUBLIC proposal on LIVE TV took me out and not in a good way. I HATE public proposals, WHY do they have to always be there?? Especially since Elu HATES publicity, it was so out of character for him to do???? Hate it, hate it, hate it.
And OW drama was just weird. It's like the ex-wife was a real antagonist in the first 40%, being bitchy for no reason only to stop??? Out of nowhere??? So stupid.
And seeing as I haven't read the previous books in the series I was so lost about who each character was. There were way too many background characters I didn't give a fuck about, and it was hard to keep track of. It's not a good book to read as a standalone because there are too many characters that don't do anything and have no purpose to be in that story, but they're still there and I don't know them. And it was just so boring to read about them.

That book was mostly boring. I didn't care about either character except for Hazel, she was precious.
The jokes weren't funny to me at all, the story was meh although certainly not the worst. The ending just pissed me off. So he didn't tell her he pulled out as her manager, she found out from other people, ignored him and it was all done at 96%?? And the next chapter takes place a month later and they're suddenly okay? I hated that. Show, not tell. I hate when authors tell and not show.
Also the epilogue was so bad. Why almost every author thinks that being married and being a mother is a woman's happy ending - especially that nothing in the book indicated it? Sure, Fee loved Hazel and she was already a mother figure. And she loved Meyers. But nowhere in the book was it said that she wants to be his wife or give birth to his child. That was his fantasy, not hers, one he didn't even tell her. Seriously the whole epilogue is out of character, out of place, and completely unnecessary.
