Cherryvine

After crying my eyes out with the first one on the series this one was a balm to my heart.
Emil was a sweetheart from the beginning, so patient ans loving with Isak that his love won over fear.
I adore them

Personally, I liked this book more than the first one. Cherryvine is shorter and centers on the romance, unlike Honeythorn which has a bit of action in it. There were also more mentions of the differences between Northern and Southern cultures, which was fun to learn about.??

I particularly liked how the author portrays healing from past trauma, which takes time and slow steps. Emil is a patient and caring character who genuinely tries to help Isak, while Isak tries his best to learn how to trust again.??
Aside from the main couple, there are also some witty side characters that made the story enjoyable.

However, there could have been some warning in the blurb since there was mpreg. Not everyone reads mpreg and in my case I liked the book enough to continue. Nonetheless, this was a lovely sweet romance, really hoping for another installation in the series.
