   A quick and enjoyable read. This is still a good novella despite the overuse of the misunderstanding trope in romance books. With a curvy MC and both MCs being Black it was full of rep.

Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars
   The narrator did a decent job, but nothing special.

Notes: The 4th in the "The Improbable Meet-Cute" novella series (6 stand-alone novellas released around Valentine's Day 2024), I liked this one well enough. I think some stories are well suited to novellas, but this one felt like it had so much potential to be a longer novel and have the relationships and characters explored more fully.

 We love a forced proximity moment to prompt a confession of feelings. It was a fun festive read that definitely had me craving baked goods!

Cute story. Daisy's laughter and smiles were contagious. I'll be looking for more from this author.
