With a Cherry on Top

With a Cherry on Top completely swept me away. I laughed, I cried, and I felt every twist and turn of this slow-burn, forbidden romance. Letizia Lorini crafts an emotional, spicy, and deeply satisfying story that hits all the right notes.

Aaron is a single dad doing his best to keep life steady while going through a complicated divorce. He’s focused on his daughter, his work, and staying far away from trouble—which makes Charlotte, his client’s daughter, the very last person he should be drawn to. But Charlotte is bold, electric, and impossible to ignore. Their chemistry simmers from the moment they meet, and the forbidden aspect of their connection only adds to the tension.

This book delivers on the heat, but what really makes it shine is the emotional depth and character growth. The pacing is pitch-perfect—every glance, every touch, every moment between Aaron and Charlotte feels earned. And the side characters? Absolute standouts. They bring just the right amount of humor and heart to balance the intensity.

With a Cherry on Top is more than just a steamy age-gap romance—it’s a story about risk, healing, and finding joy where you least expect it. If you love forbidden love, emotionally rich storytelling, and characters that linger long after the last page, this one belongs at the top of your TBR.
