Star Rating: βββ
I usually enjoy Sarah Echavarre-Smith's books, but this was not my cup of tea.
For starters, the miscommunication trope was so strong right from the start. There wasn't a third-act break-up because of miscommunication - it was just prevalent from the beginning. Oh, and yes, there was a third-act break-up, too. I couldn't understand why Alia constantly treated Drew the way she did; she was either hot or cold with him, and there was no in-between. At times, the chemistry between them was off the charts, and then it was non-existent in the next scene. I wanted more depth from them as individual people and as a couple.
Some very steamy scenes are sprinkled throughout the book, and while a bit of π₯ doesn't bother me, a few of these pages left me cringing.

If you're looking for a Sarah Echavarre-Smith book to read, I recommend Simmer Down. It's full of spice (both in the bedroom and the kitchen π).
