"Done and Dusted" was a quick and engaging read (I finished it in less than 24 hours). The premise hooked me right away: a gorgeous cover, the American country setting, and several music references that made the story even more enjoyable to follow.

The romance itself doesn’t have major twists or deep explorations of complex themes (the book is quite short), but it delivers exactly what it promises: to entertain and keep the reader hooked. The steamy content is there, but it doesn’t take over the narrative: I’d say around 15 to 20% of the book contains explicit scenes.

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, fun, and sensual story without heavy reflections, this book is a great pick. I enjoyed the experience and already want to read more from this author.

⚠️ Reminder: this book is 18+.

The narrators were great. It's dual pov. It's just always a little awkward to me when they say the love interests lines in the opposite povs voice. I would like if it were acted out more like a radio play but *shrug*. It's a great romance! The spicy scenes were great. The characters were believable. I don't know if it's a part of the trope but the amount of times MMC says "my best friends little sister" really started to get to me. Other than that very sweet and cute love story.
