Liquor & Laundry was hot, it was also sweet as hell! I loved how the protagonists were both yearning for each other, but still thought they were alone in their infatuation!

—Hadassah: A horny, curvy queen. I loved her flippant banter and dedication to her up-and-coming fashion line. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the representation of fat trauma, but I found it compelling without being the entirety of her character. She wasn’t drowning in her insecurities. She was actively working through them. 8/10
—Ahmad: A beautiful man. A most excellent man. An absolute sweetheart who falls fast and hard for Hadassah. I also enjoyed his relationship with his family and how he was dealing with his concussion. 9/10
—Smut: Definitely present, descriptive, solidly written, and with some variety. 8/10
Plot: I wouldn’t say this is a plot-heavy book. The focus is more on these characters figuring out themselves so they can be good together. There are some fantastic conversations and moments of emotional vulnerability in this. 7/10
—Overall, I would absolutely recommend this. Smutty and very sweet!

I love the portrayal of vulnerable men. How in touch with his emotions he was, and sweet , such a gentleman and supportive, attentive about Haddie's traumas, fears and dreams! I loved the fact that he remembers details about her job, fabric and designs she creates. And of I love Haddie, she is everything. HADDIE DESERVES THE WORLD. I ENJOYED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK.

they’re cute and they made me smile a bit here and there but i wasn’t attached enough to feel anything. both hadassah and ahmad had the wrong assumptions about each other concerning their feelings and such but overcame that together through, guess what, communication. anyways, for an erotic novella i kinda of expected more…like this felt like a regular novella with a regular couple doing regular things.

This was so cute! All I can say is that I need me an Ahmad. lol This book gets a 4.5 because Haddie got on my nerves at some parts because it was like she was trying to sabotage the relationship and push Ahmad away. I know she had problems to work through, but it was still annoying. lol Other than that I loved how Ahmad was considered reserved/strong, but with Haddie he was more open. This was too cute!!
there were some grammatical and other writing errors but the overall book was still good.

This was my first time reading a book by Tasha Harrison and let me say this did not disappoint. I loved the characters in this book. Ahmad was a 10/10 book boyfriend. I loved that he was able to express to Haddie how he felt about her. I loved Haddie. She was a very a relatable character. All the secondary characters were intriguing. Now I’m going to read Ava and Levi’s story.

I've been purposely staying away from Contemporary Romances with my mood lately. **gestures at the world on fire**
I'll admit this was heavier than I was in the mood for but I couldn't stop reading about Ahmad and Haddie. IT features all of these fears I have going into relationships/commitments and it felt so incredibly real and raw. It's terrifying to take a chance. I really loved how openly emotional Ahmad was and how emotionally closed off Haddie was. They balance each other out but have to put the work in. Definitely adding more Tasha L. Harrison to my tbr.
