Spilling the Tea: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Novel of Family Secrets and Matchmaking

I tried a new tea - Jamaica Mint - and it was really good and refreshing! So was this book! Reading this felt like I was in the backyard at my family reunion with my great aunts listening to them spill the family’s tea, with a iced glass of tea in hand! First of all - If your grandparents are still living and/or have passed down rich family history to you, consider yourself truly blessed! What a privilege it is to have our elders present with clear minds and fond memories to share with their legacy. I finished this with the biggest smile. What a lovely Southern family tale! The matriarch, Mama Laverne came to spill the family’s tea and baby it was good, sweet (😉) and hott!! She was integral in keeping the family legacy thriving by picking and choosing the very best partners for her children through the years. The past sections with Victoria, Milton, Wayland and Phylicia stayed hot and spilling over throughout the years! It was such a shame how long grudges and anger festered from generates. I loved seeing how it connected the past with the present. I also liked the romance that brewed between Chance, the rancher, and Zoey, the doctor who came to town to fill in the gaps of her memories. I also loved that the story is set in Houston, TX! I appreciate the added family tree so that I could keep up with the who’s who in their large family. Mama Laverne was so precious yet well revered within her family and community. I loved how everyone addressed her with the utmost respect and how she only wanted the best for her loved ones. Finishing this story made me wish I'd read the previous Madaris family books. It's not a series, but the books follows a family throughout the years. I’d love to be apart of this family tree, it was giving very much Black elite, Jack and Jill, follower by line dancing at the cookout type vibes!!
