The spice is *chef’s kiss* in this novella. It’s a complete story and I’m not left feeling robbed of important information, or emotion. It was well paced, and only required some minor willful suspension of disbelief to get the plot going. I was sucked in quickly, and the vibes are immaculate. Britta and Sumner are so cute together, but when they're alone, the spice goes to 11. The dialogue in this book is *whew* so hot. The spice was just to my taste and really added to the story without pulling me out. I would definitely recommend this book for a fun quick read/palette cleanser. Tropes are Marriage of Convenience, forced proximity, he falls first, found family.
