With a Cherry On Top
by Letizia Lorini
emotional
inspiring
Loveable characters:
Yes
Letizia did it again! I loved With a Cherry on Top even more than I knew I would. After devouring the other books in her Love & Other Recipes series, I could hardly wait for this one. This book brought together the lovable characters of her other stories in the best possible ways, and added a complexity & development to them that was truly chef’s kiss!
While I definitely recommend reading this series in publication order for full emotional impact, With a Cherry on Top can be enjoyed as a standalone romance. Charlotte and Aaron’s story is perfect for fans of forbidden romances, redemption, found family, single dad, secret identities, age-gap pairings, and spiciness that’ll make you blush. Written in Aaron’s POV only, I was blown away by how much I loved this book — Letizia, you genius!
Charlotte is without a doubt one of my favorite FMCs the author has written. A true “black cat”, Charlotte is complicated, passionate, and fierce. She loves hard, and even though the story isn’t told through her point of view, we get such good insight into her emotions & drive. Not to mention she unapologetically de-stigmatizes SW — a true queen 💅
We get a peek at Aaron’s life and messiness in Riding the Sugar High, and With a Cherry on Top was certainly his redemption story. I’m super impressed with how much I grew to understand and like him! Letizia did a phenomenal job telling this story through his POV, and hit all the right notes while doing so. Very much in my “yes, chef” era after this read!
Another 5-star read from this lovely author, with a cherry on top for good measure. 🍒
Content warnings: With a Cherry on Top tackles the topics of disordered eating, s*x work, and abuse from a family member in a very tactful way, but if these topics are triggering for you, you may want to proceed with caution. ❤️
