“Who knew meeting the right person at the right time could be so easy?”
If you are looking for a fast paced insta-love novella then this is the book for you.
I’ve read a few of this authors books and this one wasn’t a favorite… it was okay.
There’s an age gap (26/FMC x 39/MMC) that was overly referenced. I didn’t like the POV writing style. The way one chapter would end, the next would begin down the exact phrasing. It was repetitive. I kept thinking “these people do not know each other so how are they have the exact same thoughts the entire book?”
If you are looking to get into TT.Marie’s novellas I would not start with this one. But, this was okay for what it was.

If It's Luvin' That You Want is another 5 star novella from Thee Tasha Marie. There's decent character development, a great pace and an unexpected HEA, given the synopsis. I liked these characters and really enjoyed the story. I recommend it to anyone seeking a spicy, quick read.
Spice rating: 3.5/5
Content warnings:
Graphic: Cursing, Sexual content
Moderate: Infidelity

This was a nice spicy read. Things did move a little fast between the two main characters, even though that’s expected when it comes to a romance novella, but it was a little too fast, in my opinion. And even though I like spicy books, I would’ve loved to read more about their developing relationship outside of the bedroom. But it was still cool. I’ve read a few novellas by this author and do plan on reading more in the future.

Damn!! This book was so good about to have me book a flight and see if I can find my Mr. Right on vacation. This story was short and sweet love how this played out . I’m a sucker for a good love story !! I would give this star more than five stars that just how good it was . Beautiful she was inside and out and Zane is the man with the plan to find love within Beautiful!!

This was a good time
I really liked this book. I got this during the brae event. I’m slowly making my way through her catalog and I had a good time with this. I liked how Zane had to get beautiful together a few times so she knew he wasn’t playing with her. I liked their age gap too. I love a good supposed to be one night stand turned more.

Nice quick little steamy read. Beautiful meets Zane, while on a girls trip in Miami with her best friend. Although there is a huge age gap, the two hit it off quite well. This was a great read. Hopefully there is a follow up in the future.

Short, Spicy, Sweet and to the point!
The set is fire and it got to the point. I love a quick read that’s spicy but still hits all the marks. There are a few grammatical errors but nothing I couldn’t handle and it wasn’t too many.

It was okay for a quick, short novella. The story had a really good amount of spice in it, and the characters' chemistry was okay for the number of pages the audience received. I am not a fan of age gaps, but it wasn't too bad.

Thee Tasha Marie can write the hell out of a novella !
She can bring all the emotion, passion and heat in such a small amount of pages.
This was a perfect vacay bae turned to a forever thang !
I did want a little more at the end tho. With the ex pop up. I wanted to see him crash out lol

I love a man who knows what he wants! The age gap was handled perfectly, mature, realistic, and fitting for the story. Beautiful’s journey of putting herself first and still finding love was everything. Definitely a great grown-and-sexy read!

This was an excellent short read. It got straight to the good stuff without all the unnecessary things that we don't care about. Chemistry was great.

Short, Steamy, and Completely Satisfying
This one does exactly what a short romance should do and doesn’t waste a single moment. From the first meeting in Miami, the chemistry is immediate and intense, and I loved how vivid everything felt. The visuals were there. The plot was there. The connection made sense instead of feeling rushed.
Both Beautiful and Zane had clear, distinct voices, which really stood out for a shorter read. Their conversations felt natural, the attraction felt mutual, and the emotional pull underneath the lust gave the story weight. It wasn’t just about desire, even though the spice was heated and so good.
This was quick, impactful, and memorable. I loved every moment and finished it feeling fully satisfied, which isn’t always easy to pull off in a shorter story.
