Ebook. Purchased. (KDD). Meh. Too much drama and the FMC was super annoying and immature. Super short made for a quick read otherwise would have DNF.

A quick, fun series! I read all three books in a day. I really enjoyed how the three books had the same characters popping in and out as well as the setting since I live in the LA region. I was waiting for this book after seeing hints dropped in the first two about Alexa and Dante and I think it was my favorite of the three. I am a fan of books like this where you know the characters have a backstory, but you don’t quite know what it is so you have to wait for the breadcrumbs the author drops to fully understand the relationship. 3.5/5

I thought this was a delightful steamy novella! I haven’t read the first two but they are an interconnected series of standalone romances so I didn’t feel like I was missing any context. If anything, I was just guessing at who the other two couples were lol!
This is told in third-person limited POVs of our love interests, Alexa and Dante. It’s brother’s best friend/workplace romance/second chance romance & it is so much fun! The buildup to their sexual tension is chef’s kiss & I was rooting for both of these characters! Alexa is a strong-willed, impulsive restaurant owner who usually falls too quickly & second guesses her decisions, while Dante has always had it bad for Alexa & is known as a serial dater in LA! He is the restaurant’s co-owner and lawyer, so he is always bailing Alexa out whenever she gets into trouble because of her dusty crusty exes.
Dante also has a pet bulldog and the characters promote animal rescue, which as a dog foster mom, I love! #AdoptDontShop please🙏🏽 Also, Dante takes on pro bono cases for kids who have been incarcerated and a victim of our corrupt systems, so from the beginning, I LOVED HIM lol. Anyway, this story is about Alexa trusting her & Dante’s love, & believing they could be the real deal, which is hard when everyone is constantly bringing up her impulsiveness & making her second guess herself. I loved this & I will absolutely be reading the other two in the series.
steam rating: 4/5 — the backseat of the car scene was my fave
cw: sexism, misogyny, blackmail, infidelity, mentions of being displaced from parents & the foster care system, parents enduring mental health struggles, mentions of being incarcerated

This was an enjoyable, quick and easy read. That kept me entertained and engaged throughout. It also had very little in the way of angst and two likable characters. Who shared a spark and worked well as a couple.
This story also had a lot of hot moments peppered throughout it. More than I was actually expecting, if I'm honest. However those moments never overtook the story which was pretty good in itself and as someone who is new to this series I never felt like I was missing out on anything, by not having read the previous books. Therefore if you're looking for a quick, easy read with a guaranteed happy ever after. I would give this story ago as you are sure to enjoy it.

This was such a beautiful story. Alexa and Dante have known each other for years even briefly dated. It was great to see how they each developed over the years until they decide to dive into something and still having to fight their insecurities.

Delicious Satisfaction has some promising elements, but is unable to tie it all together.

I was disappointed with this one. I was expecting more but it was really bland.
