Riding the Sugar High by Letizia Lorini
3.0
I had pretty high hopes for this one, and it had some really good moments, but not all of it worked for me.
I found this book was probably twice as long as it needed to be. it felt like nothing really happened between the 20-60% mark and dragged a bit. I found myself skimming and focusing mostly on reading the dialogue for that portion. That said, Letizia Lorini writes some of my favourite MMCs.
That said, there were several moments that were those magical moments in a romance book and I absolutely LOVED Logan. I'd let that man do bad things to me. Logan comes across as the grumpiest grump but is actually a total softie with a HUGE heart under the grumpy facade. Also, all the tattoos and he's a biker/farmer? Yep, here for all of this.
Primrose had her moments, but I mostly found her kind of annoying, which I HATE saying about characters - particularly female characters. Her career as a candy influencer was .. a choice.
I loved the mental health (anxiety/panic attacks) representation and getting it from the MMC. I also appreciated how supportive and reassuring Logan was of Primrose.
I would have liked to learn more about how exactly Prim and Derek got connected in the first place. I did predict the connection for the whole Logan's "ex girlfriend" situation and I'm not sure I loved that decision, but I see what she was trying to do there.
Overall, Logan made this book for me. There were some great moments and the beginning really hooked me, but it lost me for a bit in the middle.
Thank you to Letizia Lorini for the ARC.
