Everything We Never Wanted – Sienna Waters

Rating: 4 out of 5.
This is my third book by Waters and whilst I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the others I’ve read, this is still a really good book. Waters is rapidly becoming one of my favourites.

Alex has recently taken on custody of her niece Libby. Kat works as Libby’s teacher at her new school. They don’t see eye to eye on anything regarding Libby’s education, making this an opposites attract romance.

I found the book to have an interesting storytelling technique in that a lot of things happen off-the-page. At first I found this very confusing when the scene jumped but once I’d got used to it I actually enjoyed the way the approach moved the story forwards.

The reason the inevitable relationship difficulties come about felt fresh to me personally because I haven’t encountered it elsewhere, so that was refreshing. I also really appreciated the depiction of the realities of being a teacher and the financial decisions they have to make.

I didn’t particularly connect to either MC, which is what makes this a four star rather than a five for me, but I would still recommend this to any lovers of wlw romance.

The Wrong Date – Sienna Waters

Rating: 5 out of 5.
Really enjoyed both the writing and premise of this book. The characters are well written and have real depth to them. Whilst the high school reunion story is a common idea – how we get there with the characters is anything but.

Loved the story so much I sat and read the whole book in one sitting – reading until 2.30 in the morning – so be prepared to make time to enjoy this one.

I really enjoyed the awkwardness of Annie and the confidence of Robin and how their relationship worked together. The HEA seems just right – and I’d really enjoy reading another book about these characters and what happened next.

The Opposite of You – Sienna Waters

Rating: 4 out of 5.
Enjoyable read about two MCs that really shouldn’t fall for each other.

I love that the author was confident enough to write characters with flaws. I’m not sure what stops me classing this as a 5 star book – I think it might be my frustration with one of the MCs not seeing what was right under her nose, which of course is the whole point of the story and what makes it an enjoyable read, but nonetheless I think there were too many times I wanted to yell at my Kindle!

I really enjoyed that the HEA didn’t come with marriage or pregnancy and faced a lot of common discussions regarding equal responsibilities in a relationship, normality can be interesting sometimes.

It’s a well written book full of characters with depth, available on KU in the UK, I’d highly recommend.
