You can never go wrong with a Tessa Bailey book. This was just a cute short story with some spicy spice. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Really enjoyed this! The characters were amazing. Bailey wrote the siblings' relationship so beautifully. Their background was fully realized and you could clearly see that in their interactions and struggled. I also loved how Bailey delved into Rita and Jasper's past and traumas to clearly show the motivations behind their behaviors and interactions.

I love sunshine/grumpy tropes. Especially when the sunshine isn't afraid of grumpy and it confuses them. The pacing was perfect. Fast but not rushed so you got what you needed and didn't get bored. The characters backgrounds explained their behaviors efficiently. Bailey didn't delve too much into their past but gave us all the crucial information to understand the characters motivations. And the amount of times I giggled and laughed. I genuinely had a good time reading this.

The concept of this story was the best thing about this book. The book was good but it didn't invoke a strong responce from me personally. The twist was really interesting but I wish the pieces had been fleshed out a little more so it would have been more powerful. I would say more but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

This was a cute little read. Fast paced and short, it's a nice pallet cleanser or response to a reading slump.

The book overall was good I just couldn't get past how weird the pacing felt for me. It was slow, long, and didn't move like a standard romance book pacing. But there were some interesting elements and other than the pacing the writing style was good.

I enjoyed this read. I think I can actually work as a great introduction to the more darker side of romance for readers interested but need to test milder waters first. There were twists, turns, and I'm always down for a grumpy/sunshine story.
