Please tell me there is a second book?
I must say very well written and the tension between the characters was chefs kiss. I was sucked in from the beginning and the spice was done very well!

Good lord was this one HOT HOT HOT 🥵 D. O. Robinson knows how to deliver on the tension between her characters so well 👏 I’ve said it once I’ll say it again in a novella style book. These characters are so well developed the world feel so real and full and that is such a testament to the writing. Thjs sapphic romance was amazing and a perfect way to kick off my 2026 will there be a second book? I surely hope so!!!

This book is so good. I went into it blind and was pleasantly surprised. I love the tension between Lena and Micah. Such a good slow burn.

I'm not one for slow burns. But this was necessary. The build up was worth it.
and the plot twist makes me wanna beg for more. We need to see more from Lena and Micah! especially with all that was dropped before the story ended.

Didn’t know what to expect
Outstanding read. Two powerhouse women with a lot of tension in the workplace. Things were bound to happen. Loved it.

Good read
I picked this up thinking it would be a cute little workplace romance and then proceeded to get absolutely consumed by it. The dynamic between these two was everything. And can we talk about how refreshing it is to read about Black women in their 30s who handle things like adults. When that tension finally broke? Baby. BABY. I read the whole thing in one sitting and immediately wanted to start over. The author said "let me show you how it's done" and I'm so grateful. Need the next book ASAP.
