Let me find the hot nerds

This was a lovely treat. A afternoon delight. And scrumptious snack of a story. The way Aria’s writing is so relatable and familiar will always be my favorite thing about her style, on top of the outlandish humor. I’m also over the moon she’s finding her footing in shorts and novellas because it’s a skill not all writers have no matter how good they are. And if anyone was going to become my new favorite erotica novella writer I’d love for it to be Daze.

I don’t know how she(Aria Daze) did it but I finished this novella feeling FULL. I’d love for a little more on Reid and Passion but this was a great read on its own. To get the connection they have down in 60 pages?? Chefs kiss. Imagine you fall in love with your Loctician??

Anyways. Read the book.

This was real cute and spicy! I loved the banter between Passion and Reid, and the spice was amazing. If you're in the mood for something short and spicy, then l'd really recommend this book.

This novella stole my heart

I loved everything about this!
The locs, the retwists, the aftercare.
But above all…
I was unfamiliar with Aria Daze’s pen game! This was so beautifully written!!! And funny as hell! And spicy as ****
Can’t wait to read literally everything else by Aria.

loved it!!

What can I say about Reid and Passion?!?!

One thing for sure, Reid don’t play about Passion! He wanted her since he first laid eyes on her but settled for her being his loc stylist until he couldn’t take it anymore and decided to claim her and the rest is history.

If you love a fasted paced erotic romance then add this novella to your TBR!

stopp!!

I loved this quick little story of Passion and Reid. Was the story complete? Yes. Do I need more? Also Yes!

Ms. Aria you did your thang and I hope we get to see more of Reid and Passion.

Gasses girl yes

This read the quick pick me up I needed! It was fun, HILARIOUS and very spicy! Give me a Reid anytime! I don't know why Passion thought she could escape that man!

Anyway, if you want a quick and enjoyable read. Pick this up you won't regret it!

I love how Aria Daze writes relatably awkward, funny characters. Passion tried to fight it but she didn’t stand a chance! Reid was smooth “I’ll never have dry panties again” kinda pressure. He is nasty, likes trickin’ and said he was preemptively pussy whipped. Yup! Yup!

If you are looking for a fast paced novella with a crush worthy MMC, then this might be the novella for you.

-autism representation
-lover boy MMC
-loctician FMC
-MMC that will spend a bag
-Aries FMC
-friends to “lovers” trope
-mildly holiday related (Valentines Day)

I finished this wanting more from the story.
The story finished abruptly. There was so true ending. It felt more like the end of a chapter.
We didn’t get an epilogue. If we did that would’ve rounded the story off better.

This is my 2nd book from Aria Daze.
I’d give other books from her catalog a try.

How Can I Find a Reid?

One thing Aria Daze gone do is write a fine, funny, FILTHY, southern gentleman and I eat em up every time. 😂 This story was no different.

[KB Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

so damn good

[eryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Passion + Reid = hair care and retwist with extra care and attention

[_bookishblackgirl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aria just knows how to write a man who knows what he wants. Reid definitely made my list. I’m mad it was so short lol

[Brianna M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love love love this story. It was short, sweet, sexy and to the point. Also, I love me some Aria Daze!! If she writes it, I’m going to read it!

[Maia68 · Rating 5 out of 5]

To the point

Reid didn't beat around the bush and neither did this novella. He got straight to the point and didn't stop until his point was made. I loved it.

[Shalya Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need this man delivered to me by 5pm TODAY! I LOVE HIM!
That’s it! That’s the review! 😂

Reid knew what he wanted and what he wanted was Passion.

[DeLanni Matthew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reid is THAT MAN! He is the definition of make you sit yo behind down and be pampered! I loved it! I couldn’t have been Passionate, because I would have folded at first touch!

[Angie W.]

Very short. Very spicy. that's all you need

[Natasha Renee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reid made his intentions clear to Passion & sis was not ready! 😂 This was a cute, quick, spicy read.

[Lexi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reid & Passion? Yeahhh definitely Loc’d in 😮‍💨 The scene of her twisting his locs before he left for the airport? Definitely living in my head rent free 🙂‍↕️

[FantaziaReads · Rating 4 out of 5]
