DESCRIPTION:
Love is in the air as the bestselling 20 Minute Series continues on the most romantic day of the year!
Set over one 20 minute period on Valentine's Day, the ninth book in the series sees familiar characters return for a night of romance, passion and second chances.
First dates. Old flames. Heartbreak. And one very dangerous villain...
MY THOUGHTS:
Now six weeks after the events of "20 Minutes Before Christmas", the festivities of the holiday season have been and gone and now love is in the air for Valentine's Day. And once again, our favourites are back with a few new ones to pepper the pages but will their stories continue? Or were they just here for the day?
Jelena has been our starter in each of the books and she kicks things off once again. Now settled in Belgrade and working as a waitress and though she misses Bogdan, she knows she did the right thing in leaving. But while other couples are celebrating the day of love, how will Jelena's end?
Amongst the Valentine's day revelers are Lindsey and Diego as well as Harry trying his best to impress his secret crush. Newcomer Sam has a plan to win back girlfriend Rachel while Tom receives a surprise at the station. And Will is on a search of his own with Chantelle's help. Meanwhile, a murder investigation is looking into unsolveds and now still missing people for links that could tie them to the spate of killings in the bustling city.
Many of the characters are well established now as they pop up throughout the series while others have been and gone with more popping up along the way.
While this wasn't the strongest of the series (and I see I'm not the first to say that), it was still rather enjoyable as we watch our favourites' stories unfold...some of the spectacularly.
As always, an entertaining read and I look forward for what's in store for our friends in the coming installments.
