This little spicy second chance romance absolutely unhinged me. Olivia & Rocco reconnect years later in the worst/best way possible and the tension is feral. Forced proximity + snowed in + “we’re definitely not talking about our past” energy had me swooning, screaming, and raiding my fridge at midnight thanks to those food descriptions. Natalina brings the spice + banter we love but also makes you feel every messy emotion with them.
It’s a solid spicy novella that throws you on a full rollercoaster — the highs, the lows, the “just kiss already” chaos, and that delicious second chance payoff. Olivia’s career colliding with Rocco’s world = simmering looks and banter that cuts. Enjoyable, chaotic, impossible to put down, and exactly the kind of ride that ruins you for other books after.

I enjoyed this little spicy, second chance romance. Olivia & Rocco reconnect years after he broke her heart, which of course happens when she is sent to review his restaurant. Which by the way i’m sure her boss/SIL knew exactly what she was doing there! Being snowed in together forces them to face their past & for their feelings to resurface. The tension between them was so good. Also, the food descriptions left me feeling hungry!

I love a forced proximity romance, when you add in the 2nd chance at love I was literally swooning.
Natalina has delivered the spice and the banter that we love, but also manages to convey the feelings and emotions that her MCs are going through taking us on the roller coaster with them through all the highs and the lows that come with genuine connection and enduring love.
This was the perfect Sunday afternoon read and I recommend it to everyone to dip their toes into Natalinas world.
