The Takeout Menu: A Rodes Sisters Novelette Book 1
After being released from confinement following a three-year bid, Ashland Rodes has sworn off men. All her interest lies in a chance at redemption and peace, but she gets more than that when she takes a job as a Takeout date.
On her first night on the job, Ashland is placed in front of Eno Bells. After just one date, the successful and wealthy screenwriter is intrigued by the full figured beauty, and he’s a complete goner.
Eno is willing to do anything to keep Ashland's eyes on him, but is she ready to let her guard down? Or will the past, along with a string of unconventional robberies, intervene?

This was a cute story overall, but it needed a little work in terms of editing. I thought the ending and motive was a little lame, but I don't think there was any other way it could have ended that would have made sense because of how short the story is.

Genre: Romantic Thriller, Novelette
Featuring: Synopsis, Formerly Incarcerated MC, June 2023, Illinois, Divorcée, Sisters, Screenwriter, Escort Trope, Pies, Sex - Detailed and Off-Camera, Bibliography

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️¾🥡🥧🎬
My thoughts: This was short and a bit underdeveloped but enjoyable. It's only a snippet of on-screen sex but the part described it a bit detailed. I think the story would have been better as a novella. I'm starting book 2 right away.
Recommend to others: Yes. This story is short and to the point.

Wonderful story 😍
This was such a unique story. I enjoyed the characters. I also like the twist and turn to the story. It's just wonderful. Ashland and Eno's, I love the way they met how their relationship developed. I gave it one star because I found two words misspelled. Editing is extremely important it can take away from the story. Still, I look forward to reading more books by this talented author 🥰.

The storyline alone was so cute but baby what was up with that ending fr ?? LMAO it definitely made me laugh but for the story itself to be so serious… the ending was just so random & outlandish. Wynta will always have me enjoying a story & it’s characters while simultaneously scratching my damn head in confusion because HUH ⁉️ 🤣
Either way.. I’m still headed to KU to read book 2 in this mini novella series lol

For such a short book, it covers a lot of arrest, kink/sex work, following in love and a hint of mystery. Needless to say, it was quick and to the point.
Sex work situated like a menu, for example, appetizer companionship vs. main course grown-up acts based on preferences, very interesting premise.
CN: cheating, divorce, death of a parent, assault

Interesting!
This short, fast paced novelette was quite interesting. The way that the dating service was set up was also quite interesting. Ashland’s husband and lover got just what they deserved. Too bad that she had to endure the consequences for it. I absolutely loved Eno and Ashland’s relationship. That ending was definitely not expected.

Not the wig snatchers!! 😂😂
So this was a cute little novella that included Ashland and Eno. Ashland served some time because she served up some revenge, but I feel like it was justified 🤫. Ashland worked for a dating service and Eno was her first client. Ashland swore off love but Eno was so tempting, could she resist?? You have to find out!!

Ashland story was a wild ride and her ex got what he deserve . Sorry she had to go through it but she didn’t let it get her down . I’m glad she got the chance to meet someone who love her and was able to encourage her and her dreams .

Like Concept
I like the concept of this book but I am not a real fan of age gaps. I like the fact that the FMC was released from prison trying to get her life on track but the Wig nappers was wild.

2.5 ⭐️ This blend of genres (urban and romance) was not what I expected. There were some editing errors that caught me off guard at times. The ending 🤦🏾♀️ It felt random and the purpose wasn’t clear. I was already struggling to get into Ash and Eno’s relationship story and that ending… 🙄😔

When a silver fox meets a young stallion. They could have met on better circumstances but the chemistry that grew from these two was electrifying. They fall fast and move quickly but it seems genuine and realistic. The wig snatching is funny and who the culprit is, is even funnier. Quick read.

Great Read
I love Ashland and glad she got a second chance at life. The sisters bond was everything. I’m looking forward to reading the next hot book

It was good
It was a good love story. I thought the wig nappers would be men. Come to find out it's Neo's silly ass sister and her friend.
