Review
This is going to be a hard review to write. I love Katy Regnery and her Modern Fairytales
series but for some reason Don’t Speak just
didn’t speak to me that much. That being
said, it is brilliantly written like all of her other works. I just didn’t connect with the story and the
characters like I have in the past. I
wanted to have all the feels and I just didn’t.
Laire starts off the book very naïve but eventually grows
into a strong, independent woman. Erik
is a charming, caring guy at first but turns cold for years. They each have their reasons. In the first half of the book, I really wasn’t
feeling the chemistry between the two of them.
Post-Interlude was a whole different story however. Then I definitely could see some sparks
flying. I think part of what had me
struggling to connect with Laire was her upbringing. It’s a brilliant way to ensure Laire’s naiveté
and innocence but I had a hard time finding the silver lining in her family and
I needed one, especially for her father when it came to her reactions in
certain situations. Plus the woman
shaming of the Corey culture drove me nuts.
It’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
Once I got past the Interlude, I will admit to enjoying the
story more. It felt more like the
Regnery I was used to. The first portion
of the book was slow moving and had more of an NA feel. Everything after the Interlude is more adult
and steamier. There is plenty of fodder
for feels here and other people may (and have) tear up. It’s definitely a slow-burn story. There’s some angst and drama but it suits the
story. Overall, it’s a touching second
chance story of love found, love lost and love found once more. -Peace and Love, Buxom J

About the Author:
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013. Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.
Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times E-book bestseller.
In 2016, Katy signed a print-only agreement with Spencerhill Press. As a result, her Blueberry Lane paperback books will now be distributed to brick and mortar bookstores all over the United States.
Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.
