Love & Stilettos by Evelyn Lindell – Review by Maria Colon

Love & Stilettos by Evelyn Lindell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was misled by the title.

I went into this book thinking that it was going to be more of a “leave the shoes on” type of book and it was most definitely not.

While it is a good story, and I did enjoy it…there were a few times the plot threw me off because it didn’t match earlier context.

Mia was not the stiletto wearing heroine I thought she would be based on the title and blurb. She was a younger widow trying to figure out where she fit into this world. She’d lost herself somewhere along her journey.

Mitch was a stronger male hero, but they danced around one another so much that when you finally think there is going to be some spice, it’s more like a bell pepper and not even a jalapeño.

Granny, though…while a secondary character…she’s the one who kept the story going. She’s the one I identified with most because I could see and hear her in my head as she reminded me of some of my aunties. Granny was a gem.

Please don’t get me wrong, this was a good book…it could use a tweak here and there. I *believe* this is the author’s first novel and for that she gets all the stars…she stepped out of a comfort zone and put herself out there in romancelandia which can be a brutal place. It was a good story…just wasn’t what I was expecting based on the title. And hey, I am used to reading bully romance. This was a clean, contemporary romance book.
