Cream and Punishment by Susannah Nix
5.0
I am quickly becoming a King family fan (minus the dad of course)! This is the second book in the King Family series, but it is a companion novel, so not necessary to read the first. Personally, I think you should go check it out though, as it was an excellent book too.
This story follows Tanner and Lucy and is a steamy, slow-burn, second chance romance. Tanner is a pure cinnamon roll in this book and I absolutely adored him. His ability to simultaneously quote Pride and Prejudice while being strong and supportive was swoonworthy. I really liked that this wasn't a second chance romance in the sense that Tanner and Lucy were wrong for each other, just at the wrong time for each other. I loved watching Lucy fall in love with Tanner, while he was already there and just letting her figure it out. He was so supportive of Lucy, even as an ex.
While this is a cute and steamy romance, Cream and Punishment also deals with some serious topics surrounding toxic and narcissistic parents. It was respectfully dealt with and really captured the struggle being the child of these types of parents. I appreciated Nix's writing of this.
This was a great book and I have become a serious Susannah Nix fan in all that she writes. I recommend this book, and cannot wait to get Ryan's story in the next novel! Thank you to the author for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.
