Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Harlequin(37)

Short and sweet. The FL was a little too noble and altruistic but I suppose it was part of her good nature. Rick was definitely the better brother, they make a good pair who will devote their lives to the less fortunate.

I liked the strength of the FL, determined to make a go of things on her own. The connection between the MCs had a nice mix of communication and chemistry (though I wish these stories were a little more erotic).

I love the artists style of drawing characters. This vampire story is one I have read the novel version of, so for me it was lovely to see a manga version. It really condensed key elements well enough to be enjoyable in its own right.

A bit of a heartbreaker, this bittersweet story is really beautiful. I liked the ending, there was something about the limit to their time that made it transcend the usual immortal vampire stories.

A princess trapped by royal duty is the target of a deranged stalker. Surviving an attempt on her life she becomes stranded on an island with a protective Greek bodyguard who hides his past. I enjoyed this story, both the MCs had some dark history and they were good to each other. I liked the ending too, nice and tidy HEA.

Milly and her twin sister Jilly are polar opposites. When an enraged Cesare turns up at her door and assumes that she is the thieving Jilly, the quiet Milly went with him in order to protect her sister. I liked that the ML quickly figured out the deception and had fun with it. He wasn’t malicious and Milly’s calm nature was sweetly flustered by his teasing.

A very patient and sweet guy who fell in love at first sight. The woman in his sights however has some unresolved insecurities with her twin sister that keep getting in the way of their romance. Lucky for Carrie, Shane is determined to not let her self sabotage anymore.

A sweet story that really focused more on the sisters than the romance. I really liked Marla, she was vulnerable and gentle and I am glad she got her sister as well as her romance.

It was a sweet story about a couple with an instant connection getting the 2nd chance to be together. This time they are both available and in the same place but the war wounds carried by the Baron are more than skin deep. It will take a bold woman to get through to this stubborn man that they can’t let this chance slip by again.

T. Jackson Winchester II was her older brothers best friend and her first True Love. Kelly fell for the kind 22yo when she was just 12. Over the years he would spend summers with her family in their little cottage and when she was 16 he stepped in to take her to prom. That was the night Kelly got the courage to confess her feelings and she received a solemn promise from T. to propose on her 18th birthday. Of course, this story would be too short if it all ended happily on her 18th. Instead, broken hearted Kelly comes face to face with T years later at University after her divorce to another man. When T hands over a letter to Kelly her world is turned upside down. The rest of the story follows this pair as old wounds are opened and the truth of the past is finally revealed. It’s a sweet story, T is a really genuine kind of guy and Kelly’s feelings are mostly relatable. Nice in that Harlequin kind of style with the focus on romance and relationships more than smexy intensity.
