I must have read the first three books in this series countless times. However, 'Hello Stranger: The Ravenels, Book 4' ended up being quite a disappointment for me. While West's humor was undoubtedly the highlight, I found it challenging to maintain my interest and actually finish the book.
This book is hands down one of my all-time favorites. I've actually listened to it three times now, that's how much I love it. Plus, it's part of an awesome series. Mary Jane Wells absolutely nails it as the narrator.
I've been thoroughly entertained by this series, and I've enjoyed every single installment. However, 'Hello Stranger: The Ravenels, Book 4' has definitely become my favorite. The characters are top-notch, the plot is gripping, and the development of the storyline is fantastic. It's definitely worth using a credit for, and I can't wait for the next book!
I have to start off by saying I absolutely adore Lisa Kleypas. I'm a huge fan and eagerly anticipate her next book. However, I must admit that this particular one didn't quite hit the mark for me. It felt rushed and disjointed at certain parts, almost like a run-of-the-mill cheap romance novel with little depth.
Without giving away too much of the plot, I expected more from the characters who were mentioned in previous books. Take Garret's father, for example. He could have been removed from the story entirely and it wouldn't have made a difference. He felt like a filler character rather than someone integral to the plot. It would have been more interesting to explore Ethan's family, including his mother and stepfather.
Some of the characters didn't stay true to their original roles, if you will. Dr. Havlock, for instance, abruptly leaves without attempting to save a dying man. And Ethan gets shot despite knowing that his actions would put himself and Garret in danger. Yet, he simply takes her home and carries on as if nothing happened, without his usual caution.
The ending also left much to be desired. It felt rather abrupt, as if the author was just trying to reach a page count and wrapped things up hastily. I've come to expect so much more from Lisa Kleypas.
I absolutely loved this book, it stood out from the rest in this series for me. It had a romantic vibe without being too corny. The story was heartwarming, funny, and I found the characters to be very endearing.
I absolutely adored every single moment of this story. It was packed with numerous unexpected turns and a charming love story that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
Lisa does an amazing job of blending the characters from her series together. She doesn't just let them fade into the background. She skillfully incorporates foreshadowing, which adds an extra layer of brilliance. Absolutely adore this author.
