I had a lot of fun with this and need 500 more books with Jeremy Allen White coded MMCS. My only complaint was the pacing it was a little weird at times and I wanted a touch more angst but overall a very fun read! There are some heavier themes though so take care to check trigger warnings!

Umm…what?! I went into this expecting a smutty little romance set in a restaurant. And yes, that was delivered, but it also had so much depth and heart.  

Ultimately this is a story of two people overcoming their notions of themselves and the worlds that they grew up in to find happiness and love with each other. 

It was glorious smut, beautiful revelations, character growth, and some truly memorable moments. 

I can tell this book is going to stay in my mind for a looooong time. 

Check TWs people!

I don’t know what I was expecting going into this book, but it was so much better. The characters were great and I the author did an excellent job exploring heavy topics. I don’t really know what else to say, but you should read this.

I need another book about these characters because OMG I am obsessed. Naomi Loud writes character chemistry like no other. I loved the growth of the characters and what they overcame to be with each other. Ozzy is a top tier book boyfriend. The snickers scene will now be living rent free in my head.

There are some dark scenes, so if you go into expecting a romantic comedy that is not quite what you will get. I really appreciate that the characters use kink as a way to heal past trauma but it was a little tough to read at times (for me personally) so check the trigger warnings!

If romanticizing things is illegal than lock me and James up. After reading this book I am ready to quit my 9-5 and start working at a restaurant. Naomi knocked it out of the park with this book. It felt real, it was hot, it healed things in me I did not know needed to be healed. A contemporary romance for those dark romance girlies.

After being cut off by her parents James navigates the complexities of an independent life which coincides with her personal growth that leads to an awakening about toxic relationships and a subsequent journey of personal healing.

Ozzy is a hot line cook with a history of being popular with the ladies who comes with a complex back story, but he doesn't let the hard life around him, harden him. He is sweet, caring, takes care of James, and just the right amount of sexually depraved that was sending me absolutely feral.

The tension and heat in the book was absolutely stunning, the payoff in the spicy scenes was chefs kiss, I was absolutely melting over Ozzy cooking for James, and the recipes at the end almost made me tear up a little. We love to see a FMC who becomes a self-assured woman who knows what she wants. Definitely check trigger warnings, but 5/5 would recommend.
