I have read all three books in the Tangerine Street Romance series. They are all stand alone books, but the characters and places are mentioned in all three stories, which I really like.
I love that these authors have come together to write about a town’s different stores. They are all very descriptive which makes me feel like I’m right there along side them.
The Mariposa Hotel is written by 3 authors in 3 novel parts. Each short novel features different characters and stories all centered around the hotel.
Part 1: Ghost of 913 (17 chapters)
Mari works at the hotel and meets a hotel guest who she calls the “ghost” because he’s really clean. She later finds out he “sort of” works in law enforcement. I really liked this story! I found it sweet and interesting.
Part 2: Butterfly Kisses (9 chapters)
This was my least favorite story of the 3 three novels. I felt it had way too much drama and petty misunderstandings between the characters. Brooke was upset towards the end because she felt that Ridley wasn’t honest with her about his job, but she didn’t tell him about her job and volunteer work either. That was just one of the misunderstandings. The story had alot of good parts though.
Part 3: Dreams Come True (15 chapters)
I really liked this story as well. Raegan is the hotel events coordinator and meets a guest, Kevin who is a high profile movie producer. She helps his family and along the way they fall in love. A little bit of drama in this one, but lots of fun and romance.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.
