BLURB:
The best mixtape always has a mix of favorites on it— songs playing in the background at Jude and Derek’s wedding or when Simone finally falls in love. Loud beats pounding the dance floor when Blue tries to seduce Tristan in public, or sleepy notes written late at night while Jude is on tour. Strains of familiar music bring heart-gripping memories rushing back in—memories of the first time Tilly meets Senator Cannon, the weekend a mysterious new family member arrives at a snowy cabin expecting solitude but finding a sexy lumberjack instead, or the winter Teddy “accidentally” strands Jamie in Tibet.
Made Marian Mixtape is a collection of everything from a short 1k word vignette to a longer 30k novella. Catch glimpses into the lives of favorite existing Marian characters and meet new ones as well. With everything from hot nookie in a broken elevator to double-doses of pre-wedding panic, Mixtape presents over ten new stories set in the Made Marian world that will make you sniffle, swoon, and laugh out loud.
Made Marian Mixtape is 72k words in length and best enjoyed by readers familiar with the Marian world.
REVIEW:
I would like to quote Mary Poppins: “Practically Perfect” because honestly this is. If you are a Made Marian fan, you will be blown away with delight over this collection of stories.
It gave me all the feels… So incredibly good to connect with this family again and their amazing characters.
That being said, I am struggling to get a decent review up because tbh I don’t want to go into specifics. As these are all short stories centering on the men and family members of the Marian family I don’t want to spoil any of it.
Each story is wonderfully unique and delightful in its own way.
So what should I tell you then? Well I can emphasize that if you read this series you definitely need to read this collection. I can mention that it has at least one surprising story in there that you probably don’t expect. And I can say there is sweetness but definitely also sexiness and most of all love in all kind of forms.
I can say there are different family members centered in the stories so we see Blue and Tristan, Jude and Derek but we also see Ammon for example. The blurb sums it up quite nice.
The writing is compelling as we’ve come to expect from author Lucy Lennox and it has been quite a while since I felt the urge to not quit reading but keep going like this.
Overall I have loved the few hours spend in this world again and am feeling content and happy.
If I could give more than 5 hearts I would definitely do so
Highly Recommended to an everyone who read this series, and if you haven’t read this series you should btw 😉
