3.0

Cute romance, good characters and an enjoyable read.

🧴🌿 Deja was such a motivated character, her dreams and ambitions were so inspiring.  Her love for using natural products and wanting to make it into a business is was so nice.  

πŸŽ¨πŸ’‰Raja was so wholesome.  He had to deal with a lot of family issues not wanting to disappoint them but also wanting to be his own person, following through with his love of art and tattooing.

I really liked how the characters mixed well with the plot of the story.  It was cute getting to see their motivations and passions develop more and become clear to them.  The level of respect they had towards one another was also really nice to read.  The family dynamics were different but they both had a supportive sibling to help them along the way of their life.

(Note: I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity.)
