Shelves: romance, contemporary-romance, audio

The title and covert art lead me to expect this to be chick-lit, but it’s a straight-up romance (with some extremely steamy sex scenes, which I usually avoid in audiobook format! Phew! My goodness!! [fans self] ).

This is romance done right. It’s a very funny contemporary romance, with hero & heroine that check a whole bunch of trope boxes: enemies-to-lovers, relationship of convenience, disabled heroine (fibromyalgia), inter-racial relationship, tattooed artist hero with a motorcycle, computer ...more

Shelves: 2020-november, romance, 2020, overdrive, 2023-july, 2023

This was a good one. I liked the characters and like how they were mainly battling against their own selves. And I liked the diversity in all of it and how the characters felt like real people and not the shiny people. And I liked how sweet it was.

2023
Still great on a reread.
