review 1: Although it took me awhile to get into R Is For Rebel, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do feel though that readers should be warned, while the other books in this Megan Mulry Royal series can be read as standalone, in my opinion, R Is for Rebel should only be read if you have read the others. Having read all of the other books in this series I was still a bit lost at the beginning, until I went back and reread sections of the previous books. But even that didn't take away from this novel. I highly recommend it, of course maybe after you've read a few other Megan Mulry books.
review 2: We enter the 4th in the series with the decided relationships of Abigail's three older siblings firmly in place and Abigail simply trying to figure out what direction she wishes to go ... morein her life. The book starts off with a solid friendship with her brother's business partner Eliot Cranbrook, but their romance seems to frighten Abigail and make a relationship that seems simple from the outside more complex and filled with problems than either of them could have expected. When I started reading this fourth installment, I was a little startled at how quickly this couple jumped all-in to their romantic relationship. I wondered where the conflict was at, and I feared what I couldn't see ahead. Surely they liked one another too much, too soon? Sure enough, there was so much more coming, and that really was what kept me reading. Abigail is a difficult character to wrap my mind around, and I'm sure she must have driven Eliot batty. Although she has all of this strength of character and experience with philanthropy, she reserves her own heart and fails to express what she is really feeling and shuts people out. It was infuriating at times. Honestly though, I wonder if Eliot would like Abigail in the long-term if she wasn't a bit more of a fight, as odd as that sounds. By the last third of the book, there is a crazy, dramatic twist that you just can't see coming. In some ways, it would have felt like a romantic comedy with its twists and turns if the heightened emotions weren't so gut-wrenching. I ended up enjoying the way Mulry handled it, but do wonder if she had a few other endings that she played with a bit. While Abigail was once a bit of a rebel, I think she just refused to ever do anything in her life half-hearted, include love. Thankfully, I don't think that will be her problem! less
