I think that there are two things I should add before reviewing this book: I had high hopes about this (and I certainly didn't expect the spice) and I read this throughout a stressing period of my life.
I still, enjoyed the book greatly, but at times it felt like empty and the characters filling some kind of checklist instead of having meaningful traits, especially in the second book. I felt like there was so much lacking and so much that could be explained better and further written on. I didn't enjoy that oftentimes throughout the third act break up (oftentimes unnecessary) the author cleared favored the fmc over the mmc, even whereas the mmc had every right to be angry.
I think that overall, it isn't a bad romance and neither the worst of this genre, I just don't think that the series of the Brown sisters is as special as I thought it'd be. I loved the sisters and their crazy family alongside their love interests (which are... goals). I also enjoyed the spice as I oftentimes find the smut cringe but not in this case. Still, it didn't convince me fully, sadly.
