I really really enjoyed reading this book. Liz Paffel really captures the chaos of being a small business owner, whilst simultaneously showing the chaos and stubbornness of falling in love. The character building was great, I loved the plot almost as much as them and the spice was amazing - very much a spicy read! 

However, it did feel at points rushed and I wish the book was longer for those reasons to really flesh out some of the history more, flesh out how they get to the end more and had Allie chasing Dax a little bit more. Though that’s not really the be all end all, I like the book as it is and very much enjoyed the love of Allie and Dax. 

Overall it was ok, enjoyable frustratingly hilarious moments, face palming for the bad decisions made by the characters and a very fluffy spicy romantic feel. I would definitely recommend this as a read for something fast paced.

insta love, quick to get to the sex, no emotional connection build-up. could have been good, had interesting characters, but didn't go all the way. not sure if I will continue the series to see if it gets better and an emotional connection develops between future characters or not.

I personally had a hard time connecting with the book. I think many others really enjoyed the quick steamy story, but it just wasn’t for me. Had a hard time believing the motivations.
