It was entertaining and enjoyable with only a couple frustrating parts. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.moreĪpprenticeship leads to love. Fun, different read for me that I finished in one sitting. I would say there is a low steam threshold and it definitely works up to a burn by the end. I loved the dual POV's we get from each of them which allows us to know what these two are really thinking about each other. The writing Cassie does, you can almost hear the clocks ticking at times. Her brother is friends with Killian and fibs a bit to get Piper a job with him. Piper is a bit of a hot mess, not managing to keep a job. Killian is a clockmaker that takes on an apprentice in Piper. I would say there is a low steam This was super duper sweet. ** **Note that I do not rate novellas and full-length books by the same standards****ġ. It was sweet, cute, and felt complete, by novella standards that is. Would I recommend this novella? Absolutely. ✔️ Sweet/Virgin h/Sunshine-ish (view spoiler) When the author gives us a better timeline, it just gives more credibility to the romance altogether. I don't have a problem with insta-love but sometimes, it feels like a few steps are being skipped. It felt like there was an actual base to all of it. I liked that this novella had a time jump of one month after the initial first meeting, it made the story more believable, the chemistry stronger and the romance sweeter. She’s bright and beautiful, so pretty she’s hard to look at-and it’s like staring into the sun. The moment I say she should stick around, Piper beams up at me, and it’s like her whole face comes alive. It would've been sweet if she really made the effort to learn BUT, it didn't cause drama and on the contrary, added more chemistry between them. I wished that she'd taken more interest in clockmaking, and I found unfortunate that she was bored about it, not even trying to hide it. I liked that when comfortable with Kilian, she would be more straightforward with what she wanted, slightly more confident. “You’re teasing me,” he grumbles at last, turning back to his work and pushing the magnifying glass away.Īs for Piper, she was shy, quiet and a little bit of a klutz. His cheeks turn pink above his beard, his throat bobbing as he swallows, and he stares. The clockmaker glances over at me, eyes narrowing in suspicion, but I offer him a sweet smile. He wanted to get close to Piper but also felt like it wasn't appropriate, for one because she was his apprentice, and for two because she was his bestfriend's younger sister. ![]() Even at times, a little bit jealous and possessive, but nothing out of the normal. I liked that he blushed when being teased by Piper and how protective and besotted he was of her. He was described as burly but minutious in his work. Kilian was a grumpy clockmaker who liked his solitude, surrounded by clocks, his passion. Both stories kind of resembled each other in this general idea but I find that I enjoyed this one slightly more. If in Winter Ward from the Winter Warmers series it was a father who left his daughter with one of his friends while he went on Holidays this time, it was a brother leaving his younger sister with his clockmaker friend for him to take her as an apprentice. **4/5 stars** If in Winter Ward from the Winter Warmers series it was a father who left his daughter with one of his friends while he went on Holidays this time, it was a brother leaving his younger sister with his clockmaker friend for him to take her as an apprentice.
