Note: I read this as part of the Swoony Billionaire Collection.
I think this novella worked better for me than it would have if I'd read in order. Because I already know Thatch and Cassie's story, I enjoyed this introduction to their romance a bit more than I would have - I think at least - because it's presented alongside Georgia and Kline's honeymoon. I'm basing this on the fact that when I read a similar novella in the Thatch/Cassie collection, I wanted more of the new couple that was being setup. But it's possible it's also just because I like Georgia and Kline a bit better than I like Thatch and Cassie.
I enjoyed both couples in this novella. The luxury and adorable sexiness of Kline and Georgia's honeymoon, juxtaposed by the hilarity and insanity of Cassie and Thatch's absolute FAILURE at housesitting and cat sitting Walter. Georgia's job is also getting more intense, which created a bit of tension, but not anything I was ever too worried about.
I love that for these novella's they're combining the narrators of Georgia and Kline's story (C.J. Bloom and Eric Michael Summerer) with the narrators that take up Cassie and Thatch's story (Elizabeth Hart and Jeremy York). It lets us get used to their POVs and I personally enjoy all the narrators and think they are good fits for their characters' POVs.
