Focusing on modern romance through dating apps with poc characters and a stranger/enemies to lovers & second chance romance. With a little bit of spice! (;
I enjoyed seeing the romance build and I enjoyed seeing situations that call to having difficulties wanting a successful career versus wanting to commit and focus on someone romantically. While also seeing the impact previous relationships and situations has caused on people and how it affects their mindset entering new relationships.
I definitely laughed at things Rhi and Lakshmi discussed and loved the way Samson cared deeply for family and loved ones. It was wholesome.
So, I would pick this book up if you want a pick me up book thats fun, chemically intense, and hopeful.

I loved both of them. Rhi started as a boss babe who never slept with the same man twice (a trauma response to her last serious relationship) who was then able to balance her professional life and her focus on her work and her career with her relationships - with her family, her friends, and with Samson. Samson was multidimensional and powerful, and while I originally found myself wishing he hadn't been a hulking ex-linebacker and had been the mildly geeky owner of a rival company, the added element of CTE and the death of both his father and his uncle was surprising. It added a wonderful level of depth to Samson that made him even more loveable.
They diversity of the characters in this book should definitely be acknowledged - there is completely wonderful representation of different races, different sexualities (okay we could have seen more of this, but it was there), and different levels of mental wellness. It was fascinating and fun and steamy as hell.
