Loveless Brothers, Book #1

Review of Loveless Brothers, Book #3

Heat Factor: If this book is on fire, why’s it so wet

Character Chemistry: Listen, there’s a razor thin line between knowing exactly how to torment someone and knowing how to…torment them…and this book walks it perfectly.

Plot: Violet is abandoned at a restaurant on a terrible date only to discover the head chef is her childhood arch nemesis, Eli. Eli has traveled the world and recently moved home to accept a new job…where Violet works. They’re both on the line for a competitive $20k bonus, so needless to say, things get interesting.

Character Chemistry: They do things to make the other one happy.

Plot: Helen asks her long-time friend to be her fake boyfriend so everyone will stop feeling sorry for her after her last break-up goes viral

Overall: So cute. And now I want an anatomically correct heart cake. And a charcuterie chalet.
