A delightful sapphic romp in a small town! Jessica and Vinny had irresitable chemistry from the very beginning it jumped off the page everytime they were together. A situationship turned oh-sh*tuationship is so fun and this one was scorching. I do wish we had a bit more relationship development prior to their third act conflict because once Jessica had her "oh sh*t" moment and recalled all these times when she was treating Vinny like they were in a relationship, I would've loved to see some of that bleed through when they were still sneaking around, etc. However I will never complain about avoiding conversations when you can be kissing.

Karmen Lee needs to be a romance staple on peoples shelves!!

Thank you Harlequin for my advanced copy!
