This book is a compilation of stories from the universe of Frisky Bean, an incredible coffee shop that left me wanting to try everything they sell in real life.
I loved the community that formed around the place. All three stories had incredible queer representation; each relationship was unique and sweet. I definitely want to read more stories from this universe, so I will be reading the rest of the author's stories.
A little more about each story:
Frisky Rivalry is a story of childhood rivals to lovers, with bisexual representation, in which they try to give each other a second chance to be together. I enjoyed it a lot, but because they have been in each other's lives for a long time, the relationship progresses very quickly, so keep that in mind.
Frisky Arrangement follows the story of Ash, an influencer, and Alex, a florist, who have to work together but are so attracted to each other that they have to do something about it. This one! I think it was my favorite. It has BDSM dynamics, genderqueer, and bisexual representation. I wish it was longer; I would read an entire book about them.
Frisky Engagement is the story of a long-term sapphic relationship and their plans for the big question: "Will you marry me?" This one was a little longer, with some spicy d/s dynamic and so much love. All the characters gather in this one to help the protagonists, but also to celebrate the holiday. I had never heard of Purim, so it was wonderful reading about it.
I would recommend this book to readers looking for a quick, cute, and steamy story. It is part of a series (Book 1.5) but can be read independently. If you want to know how Frisky Bean started, I suggest reading Frisky Intentions.
