***4.5 ‘Always More, Never Less’ Stars***
When Ms. Halle announced that she was writing a book based on the movie Roman Holiday, a movie I have seen though it’s been AGES since I watched it, I was all in. (Well...fangirl here, so I’d have been all in if she said she was writing a novel based on the 1980 B-movie cult classic Prom Night.) And I have to say this book was a lot of fun to read, it had its moments where my heart broke for the characters as well as moments where I wanted to take a 2x4 and smack some sense into them, but overall it was a fun, sweet and smexy ride that made my HEA loving heart all kinds of twitterpated with every word.
I couldn’t help but admire Maggie. This poor girl hasn’t had an easy life, not a bad one per se, just not easy. She’s worked hard for all she has achieved and is now working harder to keep her family’s heads above water. I had to give this girl credit, she stepped up to the plate and didn’t give into the ‘poor me’ thing, it does surface every once in awhile, how couldn’t it? But she continues to do what needs to be done. Her determination though does cause a bit of a blindspot in how she handles things, but no one can deny that her heart is in the right place.
Viktor. I loved Viktor. I did. The man, when simply being Viktor, is all kinds of sweet, flirty, cocky ~ but in a really good way ~ kind, compassionate and generous...and hello Alpha AF smexy!! But I did have a few moments with him. I know it was necessarily his fault ~ it was more a case of him being shortsighted and wanting to protect than anything else ~ but I did growl at him, so it needed to be said.
The journey to their HEA definitely started off with a bang ~ and what a heck of a bang it was ~ and though there were quite a few obstacles to maneuver around it was more sweet than angsty and I loved watching them fall for each other despite the odds. They connected on a level neither could have ever imagined and that connection both healed them while giving them strength. I loved their flirty bantering and sexual chemistry was off the charts! The big ‘ole bump in their road was a rough one, but I loved how it all worked out for them in the end.
I’m sitting here writing this review and dopey smiling as I remember all that went on in the book, not just with Viktor and Maggie, but with Maggie’s siblings and Viktor inner circle. I had a lot fun with all of them, I did want to smack some sense into a couple of them, but I also empathized with where they were coming from. Although I have my reservations about Callum, he definitely had me laughing out loud and I really want more of Magnus (Pretty, pretty please?!?!). So, if you’re looking for a fun, flirty and smexy read with a lot of heart with just enough drama to keep things interesting, then this is a must read for you!

I absolutely loved this! It was entertaining, sweet, and heartbreaking all rolled into one. I loved the characters, the way the met, and the wonderful adventure that ensued. I was smiling and cheering all the way through!Viktor, oh my, that man made me swoon. He was totally charming. He was so sweet and caring and a little lost and broken since he's dealing with some painful things. Maggie was a hard working girl and I felt for her and everything she’d gone through. I loved them both! I loved their hilarious first and second meetings and this beautiful romance that evolved as they get to know each other. I was literally smiling the majority of the time. Them coming together was sweet and emotional but also super sexy. I loved their flirting and the building heat.I thought there was excellent character development as we learn about them and what they've gone through. There’s some drama and heartache but a whole lot of forgiveness and love as well. I really enjoyed the build to it all and couldn’t wait to see how it would play out.There's a wonderful cast of characters and I really liked what they brought to the table. Maggie's siblings were awesome! Her brother Callum had me cracking up with every scene he was in. I loved the ending as well, I'm a sucker for an HEA that leaves me smiling, teary-eyed, and cheering all at once. I liked the fun humor and this crazy situation. I can't wait for the next books in the series. Technically it’s not marked as a series but it's in the same world so it's a series to me.The takeaway... I had a blast reading this! Heartbreaking at times but also sweet, sexy, and outright fun. Loved this!
