Red Rose Cupcake
She thought she had her life under control… until he walked into it.
Rosie
I’ve got my life on lock—PR executive, fiercely independent, and I bake a mean red rose cupcake. But there’s one little I’ve never had an O with a partner. Not once. I thought I’d just have to live with that… until Knox O’Malley strolled into my life. Tall, tattooed, and sinfully gorgeous, he’s got that swagger that makes me question every rule I’ve ever made. What started as some harmless banter quickly turns into a challenge. Now, he’s determined to be the first man to get me there…
Knox
From the moment I saw Rosie, I knew she was special. Curvy, confident, and sexy as hell. But when she dropped that bomb about never getting there with a guy? It’s game on. I can’t back down from a challenge like that. She thinks it’s just about our hot sessions, but I’m all in. Because once I make her mine, there’s no way I’m letting her go. Rosie doesn’t know it yet, but I’m about to change everything.

Knox is so romantic and caring
I’d trade places with Rosie in a Red Rose Cupcake minute. These two were made for loving each other. Great start to Lunchtime Chronicles, Season 7! And these book covers, are gorgeous.

It all started with a Red Rose Cupcake.
This was such a beautifully written story of Knox and Rosie, who met at a party and had an instant connection over a red rose cupcake. Their meet cute would lead them on a journey from what started off as a physical connection to a discovery of something much deeper and more powerful than they ever expected. The book takes you through their ups and downs and their greatest and most cherished moments. Without a doubt, this was one of my favorite O'Malley books by Imani Jay. Those O'Malley men don't play when it comes to their women. And Knox and Rosie got their happily ever after and a little bit more.
Whewwweee Chile, season 7 of Lunchtime Chronicles is already starting off with a bang! I can't wait for the next book to drop. Great book!! A definite must-read.

Relationship always need work
Knox knew that Rosie was it for him when he met her. Their relationship was a challenge for her to achieve an "O". With him as a sex therapist, he was eager to help. But he wanted more and Rosie was not sure. He did not want her heart broken and set up a big thick wall for Knox to break down. He was determined to have her. He wore her down but over the years they both realized that their relationship always needed work to have an HEA.
I did not care for the beginning of this story. Even though Knox is a sex therapist, I just felt that their relationship felt too forced. it was not until Rosie ran home to her parentS that I could relate to the story.

Finally !!!
Since Imani Jay came on the scene I have loved the details she put into her books; rather long or short. The last couple of books it seems as if she lost her edge with giving vague descriptions about the characters.I am the type of reader that fantasize while reading, so if I don’t have a clear visual of the characters; it makes it hard for me to enjoy that book. This is a good book Rosie didn’t allow fear to get in the way of her and Knox’s forever after. I loved the extended epilogues. She kept it real, by not allowing them to be perfect.Welcome back and well done.

FINALLY! A book that includes life after HEA
I’m new to this author and I’m glad that I took a chance. In these trying times, I need to see more of this. I like that the author addressed the normal struggles that couples go through when life’s demands take people attention off their mates. I love that her husband had emotional intelligence. Was it because he was a therapist? I don’t know. But I’m tired of reading stories of drama, deceit, misunderstandings (which I don’t get - just ask), and etc. OR, the sequel which is after the HEA is riddled with the drama. Thank you Imani!

Just one look
It started with a potluck with friends. It doesn't always take years to find someone that really connects with you to the point there is that electric hum upon sight.
Knox knew from jump. It took Rosie a minute to catch on. The connection with Knox and Rosie jumped off of the page. I was glad that Rosie's mom didn't help her hide.
I also love that it didn't end in that typical HEA way. It's a happy ending all right, but it explores the work it takes to keep the relationship passionate.

I was initially captivated by the premise of Rosie struggling to achieve an orgasm and Knox's willingness to help her overcome that challenge. However, after Rosie experiences her first orgasm, the story took an unexpected turn. While it wasn't necessarily a bad direction, it deviated from my expectations based on the blurb. The pacing felt rushed at times, and I found that the characters' connection wasn't as strong as I had hoped. Overall, it was an intriguing read, but it didn't quite resonate with me in the way I anticipated

Love and marriage!
Love was the easier part for Knox and Rosie then came marriage and two kids. Not that easy. Thank you Imani, for showing us that life is not always happily ever after (marriage). That no matter how two people can love each other, that life with kids and all the ish can cause them to drift apart. You truly have to make time for your coupledom. Beautifully written!

Forever Love
Do you really believe in love at first sight, or even lust at first encounter? Can that lust turn to love? Have you ever thought that this encounter could lead to a forever kind of love? Imani Jay has given us a taste of how this could possibly work in the most loving way. I look forward to reading about the rest of the O’Malley men and their adventures to find their forever loves.

oh my god Knox
I guess hooking up with a sex therapist is one way to enjoy your life. she met this man and on a dare, he pleasured her.... so good she couldn't think about anything else but him. he was enjoying their sex life so much, he told his family that he wanted her. oh my god, Knox was the man to want to have. Rosie was a very lucky woman.

It just didn't feel the same...
No real plot for me. Definitely no climax.. well not in the way of a story lol. Just a bunch of smashing. It was predictable and kinda boring for me. It could have been her draw to him but I was kinda disappointed she came so quick after saying she never had before. Like really quick. I wouldn't have believed her lol.

Another O'Malley to the rescue. Knox volunteers his services after overhearing Rosie's conversation. Rosie accepts the challenge expecting to win. Knox is nor about walk away, defeated. It's game on. A great start to the new LTC season.

best of both worlds
An O’Malley and Lunchtime Chronicles equals a great book! Loved every bit of it! This one was actually longer and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Here’s hoping for more O’Malley books and continued glimpses of previous characters.

Knox and Rosie
Good Read! If I gotta make some Red Rose Cupcakes to find me a Knox then point me towards the kitchen. I wanted to knock on Rosie's head to see if anyone was home when she ran from Knox. I'm glad her family didn't help her hide tho. 💜💜

Enjoyed!
I enjoyed Knox and Rosie storyline but was a bit confused on why she ran when he told her he wanted more and that question was never answered. I loved the cover of this book and would recommend.

I couldn't wait to finish this book because it was so bad. The premise was so promising but the execution was awful. The whole break up part literally made me so mad I had to stop reading for a bit because that was some dumb shit. Would not recommend.

🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was a good read. The passion and Chemistry between KNOX & ROSIE was intense from the first bite of the cupcake, the passion jumped through the pages of the book. I really enjoyed this book.
