Short and sweet, but it felt complete! In the first book in this series, which is a shoot off from the Cruel Money series, we get the story of Larkin and her old flame Sam. They had a one-year romance, then broke up. Larkin came to New York to work with the major and Sam went on to study law. In The Hating Season, which happens years later, Sam comes to work for the major’s re-election campaign and surprise! There was Larkin working too. Their story was so special that it warranted to include their previous romance, so the author gave us this wonderful gift.
I loved that in this short story, we get more intel on the Crew, the infamous group of high school friends who did mischief against the outsiders and backed their friends against anyone, be it legal or illegal means. Their loyalty is complete, period.
Lark is, as always, trying to escape the noose that her parents have around her neck; namely, to become the head of the St Vincent empire. She has been prepared all her life for this legacy but we already know that she doesn’t want it and has been procrastinating like a pro. Now she negotiated working one year on the presidential campaign of Wisconsin’s governor. Determined to live a normal life, she changed her name to Lark Vincent, bought a Subaru, and lives in a one-bedroom apartment. Gone are the trappings of a rich girl from the Upper East Side.
At work, she’s mentored by Sam and the rest is history. We learn how they fall in love and what happens in the end. The story is short but felt very complete and very well developed. It felt great to fill in the holes on the story of The Hating Season. Not that they felt like holes, but us readers wanted to know how they met and fell in love. This story was everything I expected and desired. And it’s a great addendum to their HEA story. Loved it!

His for a Season is the prequel to The Lying Season and you get introduced to Sam and Lark. These two are so great together and this book is short and sweet before you get to their full length novel. I loved how sweet Sam was and Lark is clearly struggling trying to manage both her base self and her “bad lark” tendencies.
