Kindle Unlimited.
A very sweet and lovely story - however a lot of gay panic.

Rounding up because the name was deceptive and had a little more to it than a regular cozy title.
The name and the cover made me think this book would be light and not have too much conflict or anything too harsh among the characters. I wasn't expecting some pretty bigoted viewpoints, parents' ownership of their children, parents being jelous of their kids, rich assholes, dead wives, and commitment issues. The surprise addition made for an interesting read, and each of the elements worked okay together to create a decent hurdle for our leads to overcome.
There were a number of cute/sweet moments with the characters as well as some decently spicy bits, considering one character is a virgin.
I would certainly recommend if you are into contemporary sapphic romances and like a grumpy/sunshine pairing. It does feature a coming out storyline, but there is lots of communication and bluntness between the characters.

Ashley and Mocha: Cozy Lesbian Romance is literally that. Cozy and warm. It’s a short novel 167 pages but it was absolute and needed no additional garnish. Enough conflict from coming out to Mocha’s family and Ashley’s past. The thing I love about GOOD short novels is they don’t beat around the bush so the story freely flows into the next stage faster.
I enjoyed reading this book. Side note about the author - I admire her courage and perseverance. Amazing human being.
