Simply Seventeen Challenge (The Whittler) – novellas
Mina Wentworth and the Invisible City by Meljean Brook: The h/h were learning to navigate being married. Their slight issues were due to a lack of communication which was thankfully soon addressed. There was also a mystery surrounding the young girl the heroine had taken in. The murder mystery took a backseat to the romance, workplace relationships, and other character interactions for much of the story, but was intriguing nonetheless. An enjoyable follow-up novella featuring the couples from the first full-length book in the series.

Tethered by Meljean Brook: This was a follow-up novella featuring the h/h from the second full-length book. As with that book, the letters between the hero and his sister were some of my favorite parts. The h/h were also adjusting to being married, but the conflict for this story came from an outside source. I really enjoyed the first three-quarters or so of the story and the personal story arcs for the h/h worked very well. Sadly, the action/adventure part of the plot petered out. The ending felt super rushed and anti-climactic.
