A review by timap
Cream and Punishment by Susannah Nix

4.0

Tanner, the male lead, knew when he was first with Lucy, the female lead, that he loved her but Lucy was not emotionally in a position to accept that love. Now their situation changes and their relationship develops and maybe things are different … though they do both have significant family influences pulling at them…

This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and very realistic in terms of the family situations that the characters find themselves working through. I appreciated the character and relationship development and the genuine integration of secondary characters. It wasn’t pure romance though, so be aware going in.
