HOT AND COLD by Tara September

5.0

please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: death of a parent (cancer, recounted), grief, bullying
standalone: book 2 in Lessons in Love series
final thoughts: Jax and Luke 🥰 this is my favorite Lesson in Love story so far and I thoroughly enjoyed both MCs. From their funny meetcute on page 1 to having no third act breakup their story was funny and sweet. I love a grumpy no relationships MMC falling hard and fast over the quirky “I’m looking for love” FMC. Watching Luke be so distracted by, excited for, possessive of, and encouraging of Jax had me swooning.
I’m looking forward to reading more from Tara September- her stories are quick and easy to read with lots of plot and plenty of spice
