fast-paced

3.0

not all of talia hibbert’s books are hits for me, but they’re sure never misses. this one falls into the same camp of some of her other early published novels where there is a Big External Conflict towards the end that is honestly kinda dark (and also gets wrapped up a little too quickly for how dark it is), and that’s not what i’m looking for in a romance. i much prefer her more recent stuff that doesn’t shy away from dark topics but also keeps most of the conflict within the couple. however i will happily continue to devour everything she has ever written that i can get my hands on because i do just eat this shit up

3.0

it’s a good mindless read, but this isn’t my favorite kind of romance. it had a rocky start

(I could not get behind the absolute insane level of horniness at like, 11am in the cake shop during business hours. sober and during daylight hours?! what do you MEAN this all happened before nightfall!? if i ever approach even a fraction of that horniness in my life, someone please put me down.)

and I would’ve enjoyed it more if it started off differently. I prefer to read romances with substance and the story bit of it didn’t really come around until after the

fake-fiancé

situation. it went from 0 to 100 so fast and I am not a big fan of that. there’s also some loose ends and I wanted more character development/depth. it’s not bad though! I just strongly prefer the Brown sisters trilogy.

Fun and fluffy with a dark underside. I love the casual bi rep as well as the praise kink. Not to mention Ruben’s oral fixation. 😈

Very spicy, very fun, and very sweet. I loved Cherry so much, and I continue to be impressed by Talia Hibbert. So good!
