I enjoyed this story with all the characters within. The main characters were Amara Hart and Valentino Rossi.

Amara Hart owns a retro style gaming arcade in a local shopping mall. When something happens to the lights she goes to check it out. She see the box for the power with the light from her phone and also notices that the back door is open. It should not be and closes it. She decides to ask her employee if they left it open. When they tell her no she wonders why. So when she finds out the there was a place robbed next door. She started to think that it goes with the lights.

Valentino Rossi own a jewelry in the local shopping in a mall. He want to do better than what his parents did with their shop. While opening up his shop he noticed that it been robbed. He calls the police and they investigate. The police doesn't find out much.

This was a fun short story to read. It had action and suspense throughout. It had a few giggles within. It fun trying to solve what happens and who done it.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley and Hidden Gems. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

I did enjoy this book and did finish reading it but felt like it could have been better. It wasn’t as relatable as it could be and left feeling abit meh.

Mall You Need is Love by Sarah Robinson is a sweet, cute and quick read. Amara runs a retro gaming arcade while Valentino runs a jewellery store in the same mall and is always complaining about the music and noise from the arcade.

Honestly, considering it's a Valentine's novella, I was surprised there weren't more hearts and flowers.

I'm such a sucker for cutesy flowers and hearts and literally all the sappy love stuff, but there's also this part of me that wonders if a romance revolving around the most romantic day of the year could have gotten away with even cheesier romantic things.

This is her second book I’ve read in the “Mall” series and I just think they’re perfect short novels!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

This is a short story about shop owners at a mall. I didn't really connect with the characters. It felt short for me.

I nearly DNF'd.

But thanks anyway.

Cute and easy, fast paced novella. I really enjoyed this. For something less than 100 pages, I really liked the characters and what we go to know about them. It gave me all the cutesy romantic feels and it was an enjoyable read.

Things I Liked:
-I thought the premise was cute (two mall store owners & enemies to lovers).
-I liked the female main character's feisty attitude.

Things That Didn't Sit Quite Right With Me:
-Some aspects (like the police officer's behavior) seemed bizarre (encouraging the main characters to set up a neighborhood watch in the mall without talking to the mall security or owner?)
-The romance seemed surface level & then all of a sudden very deep.

Overall, I gave this book 2 stars.

3.5 stars Amara and Valentino are neighboring store owners in a mall. When both are forced to work together on a robbery case, sparks fly. This is nice easy read for the Valentine season.

DNF at 38%

This could be a short cute quick read for anyone who is into instalove.
I found that I didn't really like the characters and couldn't connect to them so ended up skimming most of what I read.

Mall you need is love is a short novella about Amara, who runs her own little arcade store in the mall. One night the neighboring jewelry story gets robbed and she and the owner of the store, a known Casanova, have to team up to find the mall thieve. It was a quick, cheesy and fun read nothing over dramatic or overdeveloped just a light heartwarming grumpy - sunshine / enemies to lovers story with a dose of mystery.

This was a cute little YA book about two very opposite people who have to learn to be with each other and accept each other for who they are.

I let this one expire, so I ended up buying it on Kindle but never got around to it. Finally read this the other night, and thought it was cute! I realize it's a novella, but. would've liked more character-building. I'm not a huge fan of insta-love, but this was fast-paced and it worked fine here. It would have been nice to have some more character insight beyond the archetypes before the insta-love, but overall, it was a cute, easy read. Wish I'd gotten to it around Valentine's Day, but I might have to reread it next year instead!

It did feel a bit rush but it was a short and sweet story. A cute novella with two neighboring business owners. If you like enemy to lovers romcom, this book is perfect for you.

Sarah Robinson's second book in the At the Mall series, Mall You Need is Love, is a super cute enemies to lovers novella.

Amara Hart owns a retro gaming arcade next to Valentino Rossi's jewelry store. They never met except for disagreements between their stores. When Valentino's store gets robbed they finally meet in person. Amara is the tough hates love and Valentine's Day and Valentino loves love and Valentine's Day. Valentino is determined to change Amara's view on the holiday.

This is a fun quick read with no spice. If you are looking for a short light romance this novella is for you. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
