micasreads's review against another edition
4.0
Rose Josten has a busy life between her job, her sisters, her pugs, and her secret life as a sexy ASME voice. When she is contacted to help a movie director named Ash with a movie pitch, her life is upended. Ash is a beautiful, if broken, woman Rose falls head over heels in love with. Can their love handle the trauma of their respective pasts and the hurdles they must jump together?
This was a cute little rom-com with some serious topics including sexual dysfunction due to trauma and fear stemming from a parent's death. I enjoy a story where the characters don't have perfect lives, although it may seem they do. The attraction the characters feel is real and they are so sweet to each other. Their best interactions are when they are sitting down with some food and just getting to know each other. The love scenes are well-done and just getting to know each other. The love scenes are well done and add just the right amount of space. I would love to read more by this author with her charming storytelling.

This book was so stinking cute, I couldn’t put it down! The way we see Ash and Rose work through and process their individual traumas for the sake of their relationship is so beautiful and genuine, and the quips especially from the sisters had me rolling. Seeing the couple from Satisfaction Guaranteed was a lovely touch, which was a cherry on top of a gem of a story.
