The banter had me laughing out loud (so glad I wear masks at work lol). Yes, it’s slow burn (smexy times come in around 80%) but man, I didn’t feel the slow burn like I normally would’ve. There’s a lot of kissing and smexiness that held my hunger for the good stuff… and I loved it all.
Bianca (31) has a restaurant and she gets pretty busy. One day, Jackson (35) comes in to review her restaurant. One thing’s clear- he’s a grumpy man whom people fear. But don’t worry, sassy Bianca doesn’t let any of this bring her down. In fact, she goes toe-to-toe with him and doesn’t back down from a fight; her mama raised her to be better than that. She knows her self-worth, and she’s never gonna let a man change that about her- no matter who he is. Her ex is trying to get back with her, after two years, because he suddenly found God and finally realizes that cheating on her with one person at a time doesn’t mean he was faithful. On top of this, Bianca‘s mom has stage three lung cancer, and unless they start chemo right away, she won’t have much time to live.
Jackson has an Wounded Warrior event coming up, one that requires a five course meal for 300 guests. He has no choice but to ask Bianca to cater for him, and because she needs the money for her mom‘s treatment, she reluctantly agrees. of course, they clash many times, and this is where the smexual tension rises between them????. After the event, he finds out that there’s a clause in his trust that requires him to be married by 35 for at least five years. He’s been celibate for four years and hasn’t dated anyone since, which means that the only person he trusts to do this for him is Bianca. He agrees to pay her $1 million, and because her mom has a long way to go with her treatments, she says yes.
Holeeee moleeeee- the chemistry, the tension, is so damn mouth watering and STEAMY????????. Their banter and stolen glances/touches had me swooooning and fanning my face. It takes a WHILE for them to go all the way, but Jeeeezus- it’s soo worth it once they get there ????????????????. They definitely BURN for each other. I loved it ????????.
I only wish we had gotten an epilogue- I’m so greedy lol. Jackson- Jackson is everything- so patient, so understanding, so swooooony ????????❤️????????. I loved him. And Bianca’s sass is ????????????????????????. I loved it.
