4.0

Wait, didn't this come out today?
It's amazing what you can get done while stuck at home waiting for covid test results to come in. (And, God willing, in the future, we will have little recollection of these times)
Awwwwwww! I am such a sucker for gruff and damaged with a gooey center. (I'll take "descriptions of male leads that can also apply to a signature bake in GBBO" for 400.) 
I really want a descriptor that can define what makes a romance fluffy and what doesn't, especially given how many fluffy romance novels I read that involve murders (seriously, what is UP with that?) because there is a specific style/emotional response called from the reader that is true of some books but not others and I'm not sure if I can identify it.
I'll have to think about it. Dangerous marshmallows indeed.
