The X Ingredient by Roslyn Sinclair

rainbowbookworm's review against another edition

3.75

I love an age-gap romance. I love getting to know what turned an ice queen into an ice queen. And I love watching the TLC that finally makes them thaw. The X Ingredient delivers all of that, plus some well-written spice that doesn’t feel excessive or unnecessary.

What did bother me was how their relationship started. The elevator scene—and what followed—felt too abrupt, making it hard to suspend disbelief. It wasn’t enough to ruin the book for me, but I wish their initial connection had been handled differently.

Other than that, this was a great read about two people who have spent years building walls around their hearts, only to meet the one person capable of tearing them down.

If you like a hot-for-boss romance with some great sapphic chemistry, this is your book! Roslyn Sinclair is always one for good plot and immersive characters, and it’s safe to say she didn’t disappoint with this book either.

This is a story with an explosive chemistry between the mc’s. And because of that it ends up being a romance with a lot of hot sex scenes 🔥🔥🔥 besides the burning chemistry between the two female mc’s you have an interesting story about a law firm and a scorned husband too.
The audiobook version was amazingly narrated by Anastasia Watley. Both the story and the narration are given a solid 5 ⭐️ from me
