Alisha Blake, a baker who works at her grandfather's rural barbecue restaurant in Illinois. Quentin Harris, a paleontologist and professor in Chicago.
Digging for Love is a mix of flirty and tender romance, portraying family conflicts that add depth to this book.
The concept was fresh and original, giving us multi-layered characters. I loved how charmingly this story was portrayed, defying many stereotypes.
It has some of the tropes that I don't enjoy such as the lack of communication, but overall it is a very enjoyable read.
tw: racial micro aggressions, past parental death/abandonment, sexual implications.

I loved this book but the end was so abrupt! I never say this but I think this book could benefit from an epilogue.
