A Quick Trip to Miami & You End Up With A Man !
Beautiful had no idea what she was getting into going to Miami, and clearly neither did Zane.But once the two of them met up, it's like fate already had them written together. Talk about ENERGY! Their instant connection & steamy romance was a good quick read. Loved the ending because when you know, YOU KNOW.
And Zane was NOT playing with Beautiful

Miami had Beautiful in a chokehold and If It’s Luvin’ That You Want said vacation flings do not come with return labels.
This was lust on sight, chemistry on ten and impulse control nowhere to be found. A chance meeting in Miami turns into one of those connections that skips the small talk and dives straight into desire, vulnerability and late night conversations that feel way too intimate for strangers. Beautiful was absolutely caught off guard by how fast Zane got under her skin. Not just physically but mentally. More physical tho she was indeed dickmatized! The D had her feeling real possessive way too soon, which made the spiral even more entertaining to watch. It's 7 am luv lay back down.
Zane proved real quick that grown man confidence hits different. He knew exactly who he was, what he wanted and how to stand in it without hesitation. What started as a reckless getaway connection turned into something neither of them planned for but couldn’t shake. The twist from fling to long
distance commitment to proposal was unexpected in the best way.
Short, steamy and unapologetically indulgent, this story reminds you that sometimes timing, honesty
and attraction collide for a reason. Miami may have been the setting but this one definitely followed them home.

“Who knew meeting the right person at the right time could be so easy?”
If you are looking for a fast paced insta-love novella then this is the book for you.
I’ve read a few of this authors books and this one wasn’t a favorite… it was okay.
There’s an age gap (26/FMC x 39/MMC) that was overly referenced. I didn’t like the POV writing style. The way one chapter would end, the next would begin down the exact phrasing. It was repetitive. I kept thinking “these people do not know each other so how are they have the exact same thoughts the entire book?”
If you are looking to get into TT.Marie’s novellas I would not start with this one. But, this was okay for what it was.

If It's Luvin' That You Want is another 5 star novella from Thee Tasha Marie. There's decent character development, a great pace and an unexpected HEA, given the synopsis. I liked these characters and really enjoyed the story. I recommend it to anyone seeking a spicy, quick read.
Spice rating: 3.5/5

This was a nice spicy read. Things did move a little fast between the two main characters, even though that’s expected when it comes to a romance novella, but it was a little too fast, in my opinion. And even though I like spicy books, I would’ve loved to read more about their developing relationship outside of the bedroom. But it was still cool. I’ve read a few novellas by this author and do plan on reading more in the future.

What better way than to take a trip after ending a 3 yr relationship. Beautiful went to Miami with her best friend and met Zane. Zane was everything Beautiful didn’t know she needed. The chemistry between them was electric. The sex was mind blowing. The fact that he proceeded to move with intention behind Beautiful was everything. This was a spicy quick and good time. I loved the fiction this story gave because yes we go together after this weekend!!!!

Read the book in 2 days. Could have been 1 but forgot I was reading it. Zane went to Miami for a bachelor party. Beautiful was headed for vacation. She had broke up with her 3 year boyfriend.
Zane and Beautiful ran into each at the hotel. Love and lust at the first site. Lots of nasty sexy. Zane is 10 years older but he didn’t Care.
They turned their weekend of sex to a long distance relationship. Zane proposed after 6 plus months.
Cute story made me feel giddy. Being free and loving life.

This was a good time
I really liked this book. I got this during the brae event. I’m slowly making my way through her catalog and I had a good time with this. I liked how Zane had to get beautiful together a few times so she knew he wasn’t playing with her. I liked their age gap too. I love a good supposed to be one night stand turned more.

Nice quick little steamy read. Beautiful meets Zane, while on a girls trip in Miami with her best friend. Although there is a huge age gap, the two hit it off quite well. This was a great read. Hopefully there is a follow up in the future.

Short, Spicy, Sweet and to the point!
The set is fire and it got to the point. I love a quick read that’s spicy but still hits all the marks. There are a few grammatical errors but nothing I couldn’t handle and it wasn’t too many.

It was okay for a quick, short novella. The story had a really good amount of spice in it, and the characters' chemistry was okay for the number of pages the audience received. I am not a fan of age gaps, but it wasn't too bad.

Thee Tasha Marie can write the hell out of a novella !
She can bring all the emotion, passion and heat in such a small amount of pages.
This was a perfect vacay bae turned to a forever thang !
I did want a little more at the end tho. With the ex pop up. I wanted to see him crash out lol

I love a man who knows what he wants! The age gap was handled perfectly, mature, realistic, and fitting for the story. Beautiful’s journey of putting herself first and still finding love was everything. Definitely a great grown-and-sexy read!

This was an excellent short read. It got straight to the good stuff without all the unnecessary things that we don't care about. Chemistry was great.
