A review by bookishsapphic
The X Ingredient by Roslyn Sinclair
3.5
This one’s a bit tricky to review. If I were reviewing it purely as an erotic novel, it’d be a solid 4/5. But as a romance novel? Probably closer to a 3/5.
The steamy scenes were definitely the highlight—and there were plenty of them. The romance, however, felt a bit forced, with a lot of unnecessary drama that could have easily been avoided in real life. It seemed like the conflict was there just to give the story structure beyond the sex.
That said, the book was undeniably well-written and enjoyable, especially if you’re looking for something heavy on the heat!
