A review by mylastromancenovel
Need Your Number by Mariah Goodwin
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

General Thoughts: The premise of this one was good, and the characters themselves were cute. I also really liked the relationship-building between Zane and Fiona, and I thought the characters were interesting, too. There are cute themes and scenes, and I liked several things about it.
While I think Mariah has a lot of potential and others may have really loved this, the book had a very distinctive, unique writing style that didn’t quite work for me. Not every book is for everyone. While there were definitely things I liked, and the overall story arc itself was good, the actual writing style wasn’t my favorite and detracted from the story for me.
I wish the author the best of luck with her journey. It’s available on KU, and you could test a sample. If the writing style is your type, the story is cute. However, I think the author could benefit from a bit more editing and beta reading. She has great ideas; I just wanted more polish in the writing itself.
Steam Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Steamy and for over 18. Kinky.
