Stupid Cupid strikes an arrow through reader’s hearts with this opposites attract standalone Valentine’s Day novella sure to take your breath away.
Jaded-by-love Amara Hart owns a retro-style gaming arcade in the local shopping mall that is bustling full of people who’d rather play Pac-Man than have a candlelit dinner with the charming Casanova store owner next door. Despite her cynicism toward anything roses, Amara finds herself agreeing to help Valentino Rossi when his store is robbed a few days shy of Valentine’s Day—his biggest annual moneymaker.
Valentino believes in endless love and has made it his mission in life to help others express that love through romance and custom-made jewelry. Silly little love songs are what make him get out of bed in the morning, and meeting the anti-Valentine Amara has thrown him for a loop. Determined to prove love me tender is more than a retro ballad, Valentino sets out to give Amara a Valentine’s Day she’ll never forget.
As Amara feels her rough edges begin to soften, she begins to wonder what would happen if she asked the man next door to…be mine, Valentino.

My Review:
Mall You Need is Love is a cute Valentine’s Day romance novella. Amara Hart owns the arcade in the local mall. Her store shares a wall with a high-profile jeweler. When the jewelry store is robbed, Amara and the store owner, Valentino Rossi, form a neighborhood watch-type partnership. As opposite as you can get, Amara is not an endless romantic, or even a romantic of any type, and Valentino is as hopeless romantic. As they spend more time together trying to solve the theft in his store, Amara and Valentino being to connect on a personal level.
The story is cute, and I enjoyed Amara and Valentino’s story. The novella doesn’t have a lot of depth or character development, but the tale is light and fun, despite the theft. The characters are likable in this opposites-attract story, and I enjoyed reading about their budding relationship. Readers looking for a short, sweet, Valentine's Day romance will enjoy Mall You Need is Love.
I was provided a copy of the book to read.
My Rating:
