Cute, spicy read. Loved both the hero and heroine. Both characters get a chance to grow without changing who they are. Not a fan of the
dead wife
trope, though. There's just no real way to do it well. Either she didn't mean anything to the hero or she did and it then has to be factored in to the character development, plot, and relationship with the heroine. This book tended to go more of the first route, which makes you wonder what the point even is of included it.
