I have been waiting for this book since the last one came out (Which seems like for ever ago, but in reality was only a couple months).
Thor finally gets the girl, Or in this case a Queen Mother. Instead of the Queen Mother playing matchmaker this time, her kids decide to push her out side of her shell and set up a series of dates; really publicity stunts to gauge the public's response to the Queen Mother moving on and the possibility of new love for her. But the Queen Mother already has someone in mind, if she can get him to go along...
One of my favorite books by Carol Moncado so far, although I think I say that about ever book she writes. I would Highly recommend putting this book on your TBR Pile.

I would have happily given this 5 stars if not for that bit near the end where Dean went off the rails. I know he was in pain but you had a great girl there waiting to help you, you arse!! What were you thinking!?
I loved Dean. I think I was looking forward to his story since the first one. He was such a manwhore but the fun, flirts with anything kind. He wasn't heartless at all. I couldn't wait to see what sort of girl would bring him to his knees, and who would have thought a rebound, one night thing with a girl who did not want to sleep with him while sober would have been the one?
I loved them as a couple and I look forward to Tucks book!

As is the case with this.
I really liked the Benedict family as a whole, they were all really nice people. Even Sky was pretty cool but something didn't gel with me and the storyline. There wasn't a sense of urgency to find out what the secret was with Zed and his family. I wasn't that bothered about finding out what happened in Sky's past. The ending wasn't as exciting as I wanted it to be.
It was just so-so.
I'd probably only carry on with the series to read more of the Benedict family.

Every review I've seen has said how comical the story is, and how good a book it is.
I must admit I laughed a couple of times, and I enjoyed the story, it was well written and I got through it quite quickly.
That being said however, reading it in 2021, I found certain aspects of it slightly offensive. And also thought the way that she portrayed the starkadders was quite cruel. To me the book portrayed a sense of 'us city folk are better than you country folk.' . Maybe that was the big joke, but I didn't find it very amusing.
All on all it was an alright read, definitely nothing amazing as I've always thought it was hyped up to be.
