My Thoughts:
This was my first book by this author and I loved it so much I inhaled it within 24 hours.
The chemistry and the banter between the character were literal perfection. Both MC/ FC are fighting their own demons however together they are able to grown and overcome. Especially when Dominic pushes Carla to face challenges and stand up for herself which enabled her to be a more confident woman.
Favorite Quotes:
““Are you sweet or spicy, babe? A pushover or a fighter?” I pulled back when she didn’t answer right away. Her gaze glinted with embarrassment or anger or both. “Should we see? You as sweet as this chocolate or not?”
“Sweet and Spicy just might be a fitting name for this bakery. Fuck, you taste good.”
“Clara Milton, don’t you know you could be in the middle of a crowd at a concert on the other side
of the country, and I’d still find you, baby, because you always stand out.”
“For $216K and $286K?” I said the numbers slowly as I dragged my eyes over to hers. They were wide, vivid green, and had a hint of a spark. A fight in them. “No, it’s not fraud. That’s just my future wife throwing a tantrum. Go ahead and run the bills through,”
