Fun bit of candy. Easy read for someone who is just getting back into ready after a really, really long time. Works well as a palate cleanse.
Fun romance with a believable Black woman at the center. Predictable, but sometimes that’s enjoyable. It moved fast, and I was rooting for them the whole way.
I started this book because I'm participating in #Unslumpathon and needed something to read. It's been sitting in my pile for a few weeks so I decided to give it a go. Romance is my favorite genre and it sounded like something I would be into.

Jasmine Guillory's writing just doesn't do it for me. So bad it takes me out of the story. This is maybe my 2nd or third attempt at reading one of her books because the stories sound interesting but I think an editor really needs to step it up - she has compelling stories and characters but the writing is just not good.

Cute, fun, and pretty well-written romance. A nice way to pass the time if you're trying to stop thinking about a pandemic. I loved the main character, Alexa.
