    Reader note

    The first book is super short, a sweet romance, not a sad romance, so please don't read if you mind. The second book is about a character's awakening, from a very unique perspective, but even after awakening, they can't escape the plot's development. The third book has a strong female lead, a younger man/older woman relationship, and the woman supports the man—a very heartwarming story. The fourth book is about a strong male lead and an even stronger female lead; you can tell what it's about from the title. ****I highly recommend the fifth book; the female lead is a twin, the male lead cleverly marries her, and he's always liked her from the beginning. A lovely sweet romance, very enjoyable.
