Grant Siblings Series #1
Dessert Flirt Repeat
I just slid into the DMs of the hottest guy on TikTok and asked him for the most outrageous favor…
Desperation makes you do crazy things…like slide into the DMs of TikTok hunk Gage Grant.
That’s exactly what I do after my cheating ex empties my bank account. I DM Gage and ask if I can film sexy TikToks of him and post them to the account of my struggling ice cream shop, Sweet Cheeks, so I can go viral and make more money.
To my shock, he says yes.
But there's a catch: I have to star in the videos with him.
One problem: We’re complete opposites. I’m a plain Jane girl next door. He’s a TikTok bad boy with Adonis abs and a devilish smirk who films himself preparing gourmet recipes shirtless.
But I’ll do anything to save my business. Soon I’m covering Gage’s washboard abs in whipped cream, he’s licking hot fudge off my stomach, and Sweet Cheeks’ TikTok followers are loving it.
Business is on fire…and so are things between Gage and me. The more we’re together, the harder it is to resist his heart-melting smiles, sweetness, and sense of humor. Soon we're hooking up. It’s the hottest workplace romance ever. But am I brave enough to take another chance on love with a guy I never, ever thought I could have?
An opposites-attract, bad boy-good girl steamy romance with an HEA. This is book 1 in the Grant Siblings series.

It’s like a spicy Hallmark movie. If that’s your vibe, you’ll love it!
She owns a craft ice cream shop. He is a TikTok creator who cooks with his shirt off and then suggestively licks the finished product who also has daddy issues because Dad doesn’t accept his TikToks. She slides into his DMs and the rest is history. There’s also a baby shower at a strip club, because why wouldn’t there be?
It’s a cute and light read.

Sarah Smith has somehow succeeded in writing an adorable yet steamy romance about struggling ice cream shop owner, Becca, and TikTok star, Gage.
Becca will soon lose her ice cream shop, Sweet Cheeks, if she doesn’t come up with a plan for more money and more customers. All thanks to her ex-boyfriend who stole 20K of her money out of their joint account. One night, she drunkenly messages TikTok sensation, Gage, for help.
And this leads to the beginning of their friendship and spicy TikTok videos for Sweet Cheeks. Which leads to more…
There is a third act breakup, but it was more about external factors than their relationship having problems. I loved Gage’s family and am so happy that this is the start of a series.

You know from the first paragraph that DESSERT FLIRT REPEAT is gunna be steamy and I was here for it!
A hilarious drunk DM to a hot af chef starts off this story which is filled—no, more than filled—OVERFLOWING with chemistry. Becca and Gage are straight fire.
I loved that their story was also a bit of a slow burn. Despite their hot chemistry, I felt like they actually got to know each other first. I love that because I don't like Insta-Love. But DESSERT FLIRT REPEAT was not so much of a slow burn that I got all bugged and needy while reading. Ya know?
The side characters in DESSERT FLIRT REPEAT were also fabulous and I cannot wait for the rest of this series! Slutty brother? Amazing bestie? Wanderlust sister? Give me all the books!!!
I gave DESSERT FLIRT REPEAT 4-stars because the conflict/3rd Act Break-Up was kind of meh for me. Like, it didn't seem like an issue even close to worthy of a break-up. BUT, if you are looking for a light read without a huge amount of drama then you love this more minor conflict.
RANDOM SIDE NOTE: The way I will never read a Sarah Smith book again without having readily accessible Filipino food, especially lumpia. She mentions it in every book and then I crave it for days! Such a jerk move, Sarah.
𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: Rated R / 2-4 descriptive sex scenes, may have harsh language.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦: emotionally distant parent, cheating ex
𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗦: 2/5 - A bit of drama, but still a pretty light read.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was sweet and steamy. I really enjoyed it!

Becca and Gage were so cute!
I tend to shy away from social media/tik tok romances however I didn’t mind this one. Gage is a sexy tik tok star and Becca has an ice cream shop. While tik tok was why they met and played a role in them spending time together I was so happy the story took place off of social media.
I will say the conflict towards the end was not the conflict I expected. I expected a misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions. I liked this so much better because it opened an opportunity for both characters to grow a bit and both admit fault (we love mature relationships 😁). I also appreciate that we did not have to wait forever for them to become a couple but instead actually got to see them together for awhile.
My one downside was that there were times, mostly in the beginning, that felt a little slow. I just wanted to really get into the story. If you stick it out through the first little bit, it gets really good.

Ladies, please DO NOT open a joint bank account with your partner unless he is already your spouse and is legally bound to you. And do not use the aforementioned joint bank account as the savings account for your business. My god.

This was an absolute delight, funny and sexy from start to finish. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that it was too short and moved too fast. I would have liked the relationship to be drawn out more.
Becca just got dumped and humiliated so she drowns her sorrows in wine and has a great idea to DM a sexy Tik-Tok chef for help with her own account. Gage is intrigued by the rambling message and decides to meet up with her. The two have chemistry from the start.
While the story is fairly light, it also tackles heavy subjects (cheating, theft, family estrangement). Sarah Smith does a great job balancing things.
Highly recommend.

Oohwee! Sarah Smith’s writing ages like fine wine! I absolutely adored Becca and Gage’s TikTok love story and the steamy scenes, oh my goodness. I was sweating in my chair reading this, just couldn’t get enough! I definitely need more stories from the Grant family! I will patiently await Maya’s story, but would love to find out how Austin met his husband!!
After reading this, I need to run to my nearest locally owned ice cream shop because all that talk about food and desserts had me craving it badly! Thank you for giving us great steamy scenes and even better witty, romantic dialogue. Becca and Gage had so many things in common, but it was their personal struggles and overall journey that had me fall in love with them.

⭐️4.5 I will read everything Sarah Smith puts out. My version of fantasy (even though I love dragons, monsters, and mythical creatures) is owning an ice cream shop, and falling in love with a hot chef who makes sexy tiktok videos of him cooking. What a dream.

What another amazing, steamy romcom from Sarah Smith! It had so many things that I love:
-Dual POV from Gage and Becca
- Good girl/bad boy
-Friends to lovers
-Slow burn
-Steaminess and off the charts chemistry
-Mutual pining
- An amazing extended family for Gage
Becca needs help to save her ice cream shop, and one night while drunk, she slides into the DMs of Gage, who is a TikTok star. Gage posts sexy videos of himself, and Becca thinks that he can give her some ideas to help her business. Gage agrees to help her, and the sparks fly right away!
As they get to know each other, they start to see that this can go behind filming TikToks together. They start to pine for each other, and eventually, they give in to their feelings. This book was a slow burn, but when it gets there, the spice is amazing!!
I also loved Gage's family. He has cousins (who are more like siblings), an extended family, his mom, and his brother and sister. He has a falling out with his dad, and that relationship factors into the overall story. I liked how this father/son dynamic was handled, and it felt very realistic.
It was sweet that Becca was accepted into Gage's family. The scenes at the baby shower were so much fun!
This book made me want to eat ice cream everyday this summer! I loved all of it, and I can't wait for the next book in the Grant Siblings series!

Se sintió como una COMEDIA ROMÁNTICA BARATA, no en un buen sentido. Tuvo sus momentos graciosos pero “TikTok” era mencionado cada TRES MALDITOS SEGUNDOS y eso me tenía desesperada. En serio ¿cuál era la necesidad? Eso y que muchas cosas me dieron CRINGE. Al menos se lee rápido.

A deliciously cheeky rom-com with great steam and squishy cosy vibes. She's an ice-cream store owner with debts to pay, he's a ridiculously hot TikTok influencer with some interesting family history. It's everything I needed to read during a stressful time. This book gets all the thumbs up from me.
July 24, 2023
A cute and at times high heat romance, Dessert Flirt Repeat hits all those marks for a fun, loving, comedic exploration of how opposites can attract and the oftentimes small places that can absolutely connect people to their core. “Bad boy” TikTok influencer (Gage) answers a somewhat incoherent ice cream shop owner when she (Becca) slides into his DMs out of desperation to save her shop. What ensues is a sweet, sometimes hilarious relationship of two people just trying to figure out their feelings towards one another.
I’d definitely recommend Dessert Flirt Repeat if you’re looking for a fun, delightfully smutty romance to give you a smile and keep it there the whole way through.

Ice cream anyone? Dessert-Flirt-Repeat has scoops of it to offer you in this funny, flirty, and sexy RomCom. It's about a girl named Becca who is as vanilla as it gets, and her boyfriend decides to break her heart and steal her life savings. Panicking to make enough money to live and save her ice cream shop, she does something out of her comfort zone that not only helps her gain customers, but she gets to do it with the hottest guy on TikTok. During a turn of events, both Becca and TikTok star Gage develop the hots for each other but neither of them tells the other. And since the story is told in dual POV, we get to experience both sides of their thoughts and fantasies of one another. Its super hilarious what goes on in their minds. I don't want to spoil the book so you gotta read it to find out what happens!!!

Ice cream, spice, and fluff. Sarah Smith is an auto-buy author for me and Dessert Flirt Repeat is no exception. Becca is the vanilla girl. Girl next door, plain, chill. She's shy and awkward, captured so well by Sarah, her writing makes shy girls shine. Until a whip cream break-up with her awful ex Becca's done being the vanilla girl. Heartbroken, broke, and a few glasses of wine in she messages Gage, asking for help creating content to promote her ice cream shop Sweet Cheeks. Gage is Tiktok's sexy shirtless chef known for making borderline erotic cooking videos. If you've seen those Tiktoks, you know what I'm talking about. And, yes, the skills totally translate in the bedroom. Sarah's spice is some of the best I've read, consent heavy, sex toy inclusion, and positive. The pacing and flow leaves enough tension that you're craving what's going to happen in a few chapters. I was full of giddy butterflies leading up to a certain chapter.
Intrigued by Becca's sweet yet slightly incoherent ramblings Gage responds and the creation of sexy Tiktoks for Sweet Cheeks begins. Confident and skilled Gage is determined to help Becca come out of her shell, by doing what friends do obviously, hot sundae jello shots. Gage is the complete opposite and perfect counterpart to Becca's awkward and people pleasing self. He's commanding yet gentle, putting her needs and comfort first, Gage is everything Becca deserves.
Sarah touches on topics very lightly throughout her book but the way they're done is flawless and heightens the reading experience. Consent is a constant throughout the book with both Gage and Becca checking with each other. It's always so comforting and refreshing to see, the reader reaps the benefits in the spicy scenes. Gage being a Tiktok sex symbol, we briefly touch on the issues that come with being a content creator. The lack of boundaries from followers, effects in Gage's personal and professional life, Becca's support is impactful and important. She reminds Gage of who he is and that he deserves respect regardless of his content. Another constant in Sarah's book is the inclusion of Filipino characters, language, food, and family dynamics. The food descriptions alone are enough to make your mouth water. It adds a layer of coziness that is indescribable. I'm Mexican, and the inclusion or display of other poc characters and families always sit in a special place in my heart.

Sarah Smith once again has written a fun filled, engaging, and steamy romance that I couldn’t put down!
Sexy chef and TikTok star Gage Grant is just what Becca needs to help her up her own TikTok engagement to promote her ice cream shop. One night after everything in her personal life comes crashing down, she gets a little drunk and a lot brave and slides into his DMs asking for his help. While they collaborate on some sexy ice cream inspired TikToks, the heat doesn’t stop when the filming does.
This was so much fun to read! Becca is the epitome of sunshine and loveliness, and you can’t help but spend the book cheering her on after the lousy hand she is dealt at the start of this book. Gage is a smoldering example of everything amazing in a confident and forward thinking man. He is exactly what Becca deserves and watching her go for what she wants is fun and inspiring. Plus all the amazing ice cream of it all. Next to being set in a bookstore, being set in an ice cream shop is the best setting possible for a love story! ;)
I really enjoyed this one, and it was a great example of why Sarah Smith is one of my autobuy authors.
Thanks so much to Sarah Smith for providing me with an ARC of this book for my honest opinion.

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
Dessert Flirt Repeat is the story of Becca, ice cream shop owner, who has a REALLY bad day and drunkenly DMs Gage, superhot food TikToker, asking for his help for the ice cream shop's TikToks. Gage says yes and lets just say it just gets steamy from there.
What I Loved:
- Gage, Sarah writes some of the best bookfriends and Gage is no exception. He is mega foxy awesome hot, is a gourmet chef, will do anything for his family, cares about Becca and just KNOWS his way around the sexy stuff
- Sweet Cheeks, I wish Becca's Ice Cream shop was real cause the flavors sound amazing and I would want to support the crap out of her. Also then the TikToks with Gage would also be real and again I want to see those
- Becca, she owns her own business and even after a pretty big setback she doesn't let it keep her down. She has a great support system around her and once she takes the shot with Gage she doesn't look back
- Family, Gage's family sounds AMAZING they are a close knit group of aunties, uncles, cousins and siblings who love to spend time together and give each other grief which is my kind of family
- Steamy, if you are looking for a good amount of steam/spice then I do not think you will be disappointed
- TikToks, as a follower of the author's instagram I'm pretty sure I know who the Gage character is based on and she absolutely hit the nail on the head
If you can't tell I'm a big fan of Sarah's stories and Dessert Flirt Repeat was just another in a long line of great reads for me. It has been a while since I've finished a book and wanted to restart right away, thankfully she wrote a bonus chapter and I devoured it as well. If you are looking for a contemporary romance with spice, TikTok, ice cream, cooking and a side of family then I would absolutely recommend this book to you.

- TikToks, as a follower of the author's instagram I'm pretty sure I know who the Gage character is based on and she absolutely hit the nail on the head
If you can't tell I'm a big fan of Sarah's stories and Dessert Flirt Repeat was just another in a long line of great reads for me. It has been a while since I've finished a book and wanted to restart right away, thankfully she wrote a bonus chapter and I devoured it as well. If you are looking for a contemporary romance with spice, TikTok, ice cream, cooking and a side of family then I would absolutely recommend this book to you.

Becca is a sweeter than ice cream girl next door. She has worked hard to build her brand and open her dream ice cream shop. Bringing happiness and cool treats to the masses brings her ultimate joy. Her blissful bubble bursts however, when her boyfriend of three years admits to cheating on her. That act alone is unthinkable, but then he goes and drains her bank account. It is the cherry on top of the destructive d-bag sundae. Becca is in a rightful panic over how she will be able to keep her beloved shop open. With encouragement from her best friend, and a lot of wine, Becca slides into the DMs of thirst trap food Tik Toker, Gage.
Gage isn’t exactly a bad boy. He’s just a man who loves to cook, knows he’s hot, and uses that knowledge to his advantage. He makes money creating thirst trap Tik Toks of himself cooking. His videos are delicious in more was than one 😉 He is immediately intrigued when he receives a DM begging for his help to teach Becca how to make sexy Tik Toks of her own. She’s convinced it’s the only way to save her ice cream shop. Gage readily agrees and the sexiness and swoony-ness commences.
I absolutely LOVED the dynamic between Becca and Gage. They were opposites, but their personalities were complimentary to each other. The emotional vulnerability they showed while growing their friendship had me hooked. Add to that, THICK sexual tension, and it was the perfect recipe for relationship development.

I ate up every single part of this book!
Not only was this book super fun and entertaining, but it was also so deliciously steamy.
Becca is such a kind, caring, and badass woman! I love that she stands her ground when she needs to and doesn’t take crap from anybody. I wish she was a real person because I would love to be friends with her!
Gage has officially been added to my list of fave book boyfriends! He checks off soooo many boxes. 😍😍
Overall, I really enjoyed reading Becca and Gages story, and I look forward to reading the rest of this series! Highly recommend reading this book outside on a sunny day! (bonus points if you have ice cream with you too) 😉
I voluntarily reviewed a free advanced copy of this book provided by the author. The options expressed are my own! Thanks again for the arc Sarah!

I am a couple of days late to the show, but I received an ARC for this book by Sarah Smith, and this is exactly what I needed. This book is light, fast-paced and Sweet😉.
Becca and Gage are the MCs of this Dual POV book and they are the perfect romcom couple. Becca is shy, owns an ice cream shop and Gage is outgoing, has a million followers on TikTok that watch him make food with his own added spice to the mix. From the first chapter I was hooked and I could tell this book was going to get steamy, and it did not disappoint. Dessert Flirt Repeat has been added to my comfort books, this will be read again and again. I can't wait for the next one and to see where the story goes. It's a must read!

Received this ARC from the author…
This book is super fun and super spicy 🌶️🔥🥵. This would be a great weekend or vacation book!
I loved Gage and Becca together. Their personalities balanced each other. Becca was strong and independent and didn’t play the victim at all. She stuck to her guns and didn’t settle for what she deserved. And Gage was so patient and understanding with her. We wish/hope all men are like that…
Can’t wait for the next book in the series. I’m totally invested in the Grant siblings!

This book was both super sweet and super sexy! Becca owns an ice cream shop and teams up with Gage, a TikTok chef who posts extra-sexy food vids to market her shop. The chemistry is quickly off-the-charts as they start filming together, but there’s an added layer to this book beyond just their relationship. Gage’s family dynamic is really interesting, and I’m SO excited that this is going to be part of a series, with his sister’s story coming next! Thanks to the author for sharing an advance copy with me, and I can’t wait for the rest of this series!

This was a cute read! Becca and Gage were really cute together! They were really hot together! I clearly wasn’t expected that!
Props to Becca who managed a breakup while naked and covered in whipped cream, she really nailed it! Loved the part where she threw his clothes through the window! Loved it even more when his new girlfriend dumped his old ass at the restaurant after listening to Becca.

Planning a trip to Utah after I read On Location, now contemplating opening an ice cream shop. Sarah Smith can apparently convince me to do anything with her books.
Becca is so endearingly and authentically herself, and Gage is a genuinely good guy. You can’t help but root for them throughout the entire story. A modern concept with two lovable characters, awkward DMs, sexy TikToks, spicy scenes, and a great supporting cast. I can’t wait for the next Grant sibling to get their HEA!

This book was amazing! I loved how sweet Becca was and how Gage was a total bad boy. This book has tons of spice 🔥🌶 My favorite part was the ice-cream daddy. Thank you Sarah for allowing me to read this ARC. Everyone read this book it comes out on July 17th.

I Love Love Love this story.
Sarah always delivers real characters you can't help but get attached to. I feel Becca and Gage were made for each other and I can't wait for the next book. You might be craving Ice Cream with this one but it will be well worth it!
