Tikka Chance on Me

A little bit smuttier than I normally prefer, or rather maybe it was just that it was a novella and therefore there's the regular amount of romance novel smut but crammed into 1/3 the pages? I liked the banter between Pinky and Trucker, their mutual interests (y'know, besides banging each other), and the stuff about the restaurant Pinky's parents own. Her goals. The fact that Trucker was a feminist, mutual talking about consent. Openly talking about racism. I don't know that I buy the ending, but whatever, it's romance.

Tikka Chance on Me is a short little novella, but wow is there a story here. Seriously, what I thought was going to be light-hearted and fun turned out to be more dramatic than I thought it would or even could in the amount of pages it has.

Let me also say that the characters are fabulous. I liked that they defined tropes, which made them feel more real. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic and there is a twist there I totally didn't see coming. I liked the twist a whole lot, but I don't see how they can have a HEA, it feels more like a HFN.

Definitely see what all the hype is about and think others should read this one!

Cute and quippy!

Saw this recommended by several authors on Twitter and while I usually wouldn't buy a novella I couldn't resist.
And I wasn't disappointed!

This author has a fabulously fun voice that made this a lighthearted yet steamy read.
A seemingly good-girl Indian working at her family's restaurant hooks up with the bad boy biker.
Their chemistry is electric but it's the banter that gets me every time.
I'm a dialogue gal so this one ticked all the right boxes for me.
Just wish it could've been longer...
