I will say that it took me a while to get into 99 Percent Mine, because Darcy was really angsty, but the more I learned, the more I liked it. I also feel rom-coms don't work for everyone, because if you don't find the the author's humor funny, it could grate on your nerves.

I adore this family. I like rom-coms. I think it's tricky when it comes to humor, because different people find different things funny. I loved Josh & Hazel and there were people who hated it, but also a ton of people who adored it.

There was another wedding in an earlier book, which was really emotional, because this family was dealing with their dying father, but it was beautifully done. I liked The Hating Game. It was fun. If that's what you're looking for, give it a peek.

I totally agree with what you said about Holden -- I love characters who fight from the bottom to get to where they are and they DESERVE a HEA. Just like the people who do that in real life do too. And weddings in books make me far too happy. Weddings in general make me feel way too much happiness hahaha. There was a promise of a wedding in a romance I just read and I was already a mess :P <br /><br />I need to read The Hating Game!! I even have it on my kindle. I am glad this one brought through a lot of the elements you enjoyed about her previous book though, and made a great track history between the characters as well xOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-87214786488143008632019-01-07T19:52:15.549-05:002019-01-07T19:52:15.549-05:0099 Percent Mine sounds really good - I love the hi...99 Percent Mine sounds really good - I love the history between the two main characters!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-33502016256022552532019-01-07T18:48:02.358-05:002019-01-07T18:48:02.358-05:00I have read two Denault series, both good, but thi...I have read two Denault series, both good, but this one just was a lot more emotional for me.

I remember a reviewer talking about how things other people think are funny are not funny to her, and I can totally understand that hampering your enjoyment of a book that is supposed to be funny.
