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
