Cute, short, and fun. Insta-love at its finest, but this is what I'm in the mood for atm. ❤️ Oooh, love that it's dual virgin as well.
The story was basically boy meets girl in a cafe. He fell hard and fast after a few minutes in her presence. Then he immediately decided she's going to be his wife, and they will spend the rest of their days together.

Quarantine reading continues. Nick and Lia are perfect! He is over the top possessive and she is feisty but he won't be deterred. Steamy, both virgins, no drama and super cute epilogue with 5 boys and pregnant heroine. Good read and totally safe!

Lia meets Nick when shes at a coffee shop and he's already sprung on her, calling her his future wife. Wanting to know everything. Shes tries to pull away but that doesnt stop Nick from taking her to school and such. But their is a couple misunderstandings from a ex employee who tells Lia that Nick has a wife (ex employee is jealous) the "wife" is his younger sister who he was hugging because her coffee shop was in flames.
Beside that everything was super fluff and insta.

Valentine’s Day treat
Sweet insta-love Valentine’s Day story. Lia and Nick’s story has a little sub story about his sister Brie that I’m anxious to see expanded. Completely safe.

Good
This was a really good story! Nick is a great OTT Alpha male. The moment he sees Lia he knows his life is never going to be the same. He will stop at nothing until she is his forever. While I really liked this story I am more intrigued by Brie and hope we get her story next.
Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No om drama, ow that works at the Cafe sets it on fire and lies to h about H being married and a cheater. Both are virgins. No abuse.

I need her like I need my next breath. She’s everything that’s special.
CM Steele has outdone herself once again. Every book in this series is just fantastic. This one is my fav so far. Nick is perfect...how he cares for his sister, how he loves Lia. He's possessive & pushy & just so damn yummy! 😋 Oh, and Lia is pretty great too.
-dual POV
-no cheating or abuse
-minor unwanted OW trouble
-dual virgins
-epilogues at 1 year & 10 years
The ending is too dang cute with the actions of one of their sons. Actually brought a tear to my eye.
Don't miss out on this book. Heck, read the whole series. They can all be read as standalones but you won't want to. Just read them all.

That was a real good book... loved how he steamrolled Lia with his Mrs Williams. They both fell so fast in love with each other.... so so sweet and hot. Insta-love a great HEA and a bit action. And my all time favorite Double Virgins😍😍😍😍 now I hope Brie will get her HEA as well.

This is one of the cutest starts to a story I have read in a while, loved it! Lia is a little sassy to Nick when he comes up behind her in the coffee shop line. He could have come across as obnoxious with his assertions that she was going to be his wife but Lia loves it. She verbally spars with him a bit but when he walks her to her destination, he is all she can think about. Nick is done, he has never felt this way and he will do whatever it takes to have her in his life. I loved Nick, he just says how he feels up front but what put him over the top for me was his devotion to his sister. I loved Lia's spark but loved her even more for treating Nick's sister so sweet. A great and subtle way to show how perfect they are for each other. Fun and sweet Valentine insta-love, what more could you want?

Cream is book four in the gimme series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
Nicholas has two loves and focuses in life, his career and his little sister. Whilst at his sisters café , he never expects to find him love.
The chemistry between Nicholas and Cordelia/Lia is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Another AMAZING book!
Nicholas and Brie have been a team since both of their lives were turned upside down. Now Nicholas will do anything to help and protect his sister.
Well, that is until he sees her! His future everything.
Lia needs her fix before class and she didn’t expect to have her world go from blah to HOT the minute she hears his voice.
Now that they have both met each other and she thinks he is insanely crazy which he will now doubt prove her wrong.
This is one of those instant love, instant heat, and instant Forever.
Loved it all the way to the end!

All the Cream!
What an Instalust turn Instalove story. Nick knew with just one look at Lia that she was meant to be his. With one touch even though it seemed crazy Lia knew that Nick was different. I loved the way that Nick laid his claim to Lia, not letting anyone mistake what she meant to him. Loved this quick read, it had all the insta’s that I love, Insta-lust, Insta-Obsessive Alpha, and Insta-Love.

You Had Me At Coffee ☕
This book was insta-lust/love at high octane levels! I had grabbed it because of the coffee/coffee shop references in the blurb and I'm so glad I did.
I enjoyed Nick's insta-lust crazed caveman tendencies and how he pursued Lia with dogged determination. That over the top stuff doesn't always work for me but I enjoyed it in this book.
I'm really hoping C.M. gives us Brie's story next, I feel like things were set up well to give us her HEA

Fast read, perfect for Valentine's Day
This was a cute and easy read. Nick fell instantly for Lia. Lia gave him some sass back for his over the top claiming. I liked the short read. Perfect for a quick Valentine's book. This is an insta lust/love with a little drama. The scenes were hot.

I can't believe that girl would burn the cafe down because Nick didn't want her. I knew it was her when she confronted Lia and told her lies. She really belongs in a nut house. I'm glad Lia didn't run away but went to see if Nick was lying to her.

The title says it all!
This book is fast. Lia walks into a coffee shop and Nick stakes his claim, within a minute of meeting her. The characters are likeable and the book is fun. It is pretty sexy and dirty. Like I said, the title says it all.

Nicholas is a sweetheart, i loved the compassion and love he demonstrated towards Lia and also his sister. For how quick of a read Cream is, it packs a punch with the sweetness mixed with some angst. I'd love to see the sisters story.
