Synopsis: Primrose Bellevue is a vegan candy influencer known as Sugar High. She is curvy, confident, and loves all things pink. Struggling with a very public break-up, Prim decides to confront her ex but ends up accidentally setting his yard on fire. Terrified of going to jail or being known as a stalker, she takes off into the woods and ends up stumbling into a mysterious man she met earlier in the day. 

Logan Coleman may be a known bad boy and criminal but the last thing he wants is to get caught stealing his neighbor's piglets. There’s no way he will be able to talk himself out of this one and stay out of jail. But when a real-life Barbie comes running into his life, he starts to hatch a plan that may just save both of them.

Review: This book perfectly captures the magic of opposites attracting. The story follows the eternally cheerful Prim who brightens the world around her, and Logan—a grumpy but lovable character who can’t help but be charmed by Prim’s personality.

The chemistry between the characters is electric, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and touching scenes that tug at your heartstrings. The witty banter and sweet moments of vulnerability make this book an absolute joy to read.

The storyline kept me hooked from beginning to end and is a must-read for anyone who loves the grumpy sunshine trope. The spicy romance will have you fanning yourself and eagerly turning the pages. This story perfectly balances steamy scenes with emotional depth and I enjoyed seeing the character development throughout the series.

The Wedding Menu

The Wedding Menu (Love & Other Recipes, #2) by Letizia Lorini Website | Twitter | Instagram Publication Date: September 15, 2023 Publisher: Indie Pages: 484 ISBN: 9789198853308 Genre: Romance | Contemporary Source: ARC Add to Goodreads

 

Synopsis: Amelie's dreams for a perfect life are beginning to come true. She's engaged to her high school sweetheart, she has had her wedding planned since she was a little girl, and she is in the running to be the head chef at her dad's famous restaurant. But then Amelie meets Ian and suddenly her path isn't quite as clear.

The last thing Ian ever wants to do is be in a committed relationship, let alone get married. But when Ian meets Amelie he begins to see things from a different point of view and he may be changing his mind on what and who he wants in his life.

Review: Be still my heart. This book is absolute perfection! It's the second in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Ian is completely perfect. If you look swoon up in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Ian. He puts all other book boyfriends to shame.

I loved Amelie. She was so likable and I couldn't help but root for her the entire time. I found myself relating to her quite a bit and I thoroughly enjoyed watching her growth chapter by chapter.

Ian and Amelie as a couple are legit couple goals. The slow burn, the tension, the chemistry, the butter (iykyk), and the humor. I loved their banter back and forth. There were many parts where I laughed out loud because Letizia's dialogue was humorous but also charming. I truly wish I could read this book again for the first time.
