Love Me, Darling by Laura Burton is the last/fourth book on her Love Me series, but can be read as a standalone once you get used to all the names thrown at the beginning. I liked getting to know Lottie and Lucas, especially with a character like hers, where, due to personal reasons, she isn’t a fan of Christmas. Of course, it’s fun getting to see her thrown into all the activities surrounding the season, and finding out there are perks to certain traditions, such as the kiss under the mistletoe. However, since this is a novella, things happened rather quickly for me, and even though this is supposed to be compensated by the fact that they’ve known each since forever, I never fully got that impression.
As for the narrator, I have to give her points for adding the explanations, gasps, sighs, and so on from the different characters, since most of those are usually only mentioned in the narration. However, I think I’d have loved this book more if the voices between Lottie and Lucas, as well as other characters, would have been more clearly differentiated; also, I found it a bit jarring that a character’s voice could change so much.
Overall, I think this a sweet romance and great addition that fans of the series and of Ms. Burton’s writing will love to get their hands on.~ 3.5 stars
PS: It’d really help if the male on the cover (either the old or new) would have blond hair, just as the description in the book.
