He chose the wrong sister. And now, the right one doesn't want him anymore.

I never expected to fall for Fleur. She’s sunshine and joy, where my world was previously gray. What I don’t understand is how her family means so little to her. They warned me she was immature and selfish; and that we’ll never work out.

They were right. She's jealous of my friendship with her sister, my brother's widow.

But being there for Sabine is a promise I won’t break. When Sabine suggests that we take care of each other; I feel like I owe it to her and my brother. So, I let Fleur go. I believed it was the right thing to do. I just never expected to find out that my feelings for Fleur ran deep, that I was, in fact, in love with her.

Another great story by Maya Alden.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

As always, Maya gives us a great story, with a very intelligent and strong heroine. Fleur was betrayed and rejected by the people she loved, but instead of feeling sorry for herself, she realized that she was the better person and stop trying to please her family. Callum was an idiot, and I am so glad he suffered when he realized the extent of his stupidity. It was a short story but I enjoyed it immensely. It’s in my list of books to be re-read. Waiting anxiously for the new stories by Maya coming up.

Great beginning, shaky ending, All over great read

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

More Than a Feeling is the newest in Maya Alden's Modern Vintage Romance series, and this one fits in just fine. A bit disappointing at the end, but overall, if you liked the previous books, you'll enjoy this one.

Callum and Fleur begin the book by breaking up. Callum is busy supporting his late brother's widow, Sabine, and takes Fleur for granted. He ignores her for Sabine, and by the break up, says things he shouldn't have in order to salve his ego. Fleur has been underestimated by her family for as long as she's lived, and when Callum chooses Sabine over her, she decides to move on. Too bad Callum didn't get the memo.

The characters are ok, Fleur being intelligent but a people pleaser when it comes to her family. She 'fights for the scraps of attention' from them and from Callum and when she finally finds her backbone, Callum treats it as if she's just throwing a tantrum. Callum is my least favorite of Ms. Alden's MMCs. Part of me wanted him to wander into the sunset with Sabine and find his unhappily ever after with her while Fleur and Jax (from a previous book) hook up and make beautiful, smart, and athletic babies, all while Callum drinks expensive whiskey and pines for the one that he threw away. But since it's a Maya Alden book, you know Callum and Fleur get back together and I'm ok with that. My only issue was how quick the ending was. Even under the circumstances, the ending was too short. Not enough time was given to the resolution. We got the HEA, but I wanted to know the details of how they got there. It's a fairly short book, but I think she could have added two more chapters to fill in the gaps and it wouldn't have made it much longer.

Overall, it's a solid read, one that I've already reread twice. Engaging beginning, not the best ending, but great read.

Finished the book in 2 hours! Couldn't put it down.

I loved "Wraith" so much. She was so dang refreshing. There are so few people in the world both irl and fiction that don't allow the circumstances around them to change who they inherently are. My guy Call was, in a way, trying to keep his brother alive through Fleur's sister that he ends up sacrificing Fleur for Sabine's feelings. It's a quick read, and although mínimas on the grovel, you CAN tell that Call is GDNIUNE about his love for Fleur.

A Heroine Who Stands Up for Herself

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

Maya Alden writes unique stories with awesome heroines who have to overcome hurt and doubt from different sources. I love the angst created in her stories because she makes you feel so much for her heroines and all of her other well flushed out characters. In this book Fleur has an awful family including a scheming, selfish sister who wants whatever Fleur has and has no problem manipulating everyone she can.

The situation is complicated since Sabine's husband was the brother of the male lead, Callum, who died in a car accident. While the relationship of Fleur and Callum has moved to a place where she has moved in with him, the situation blows up because of Callum running to Sabine whenever she calls and acts the damsel in distress.

I'm so proud of Fleur for recognizing she is worth more than the people around her think and her decision to take care of herself. This is a novella and it could easily have been extended so we could read even more of the angst created by the situation.

I read this as an arc but have also pre-ordered my copy in order to support the author. Maya Alden is an auto-buy for me and I can hardly wait for her next book. This was well worth 4+ stars since it was such a good read.

Fleur is the best heroine so far. she is totally bada, super smart, knows her worth. I love her. Callum is a go along with the flow, team anyone else but Fleur guy. Until he comes to his senses to get his girl. I totally enjoyed this book, love a confident heroine.

Delivers all the feels!

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

A perfect holiday read. We always gate to see a good story end, but it definitely delivers all the angst and groveling we expect of a Maya Alden book.

AvidReader

really good angst….

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

But I needed more suffering for Callum and time to grovel more, more self deprecation about his actions and words, too. He didn’t really have to grovel at all because of what happens with Fleur, which I loved by the way! Unexpected drama adding to the angst. I actually wished she was gone longer making him sweat super hard. I also felt like her family got no comeuppance. They just continued in their self serving, snobby ways. They lost Fleur but they don’t even care so that was bo fun. I appreciate a Novella from time to time, nice quick reads, but Callum’s sins were a bit too deep for a quick turn around. I just wanted a little more.
