I always love Jackie Lau’s books because she manages to combine funny, lighthearted scenes with serious topics without letting the tone shift too much. In this book, Victor is still processing the death of his brother and that grief is explored without it becoming a book about grief. Instead it’s a story about healing (for the heroine Amy too who has spent years putting everyone else first). I can always count on Lau to deliver an engrossing, fun, and sexy book and this one is no different. Although at this point I almost want to move to Toronto since so many of her books are set there and omg the food she describes is mouthwatering. She clearly knows and loves the city well which makes the books even better.
