Spice: 5/5

Who knew that I needed a taboo romance that included a tattoo shop in my life? Rory and Tate that’s who! I am not one but ashamed to say that I ate this book up! 

Charlie has recently graduated from college and her current job is not cutting it anymore. The only person she can turn to for help since her mother passed away is her father, Banks. The man she hasn’t spoken to in a year after running out of his life like her ass was on fire. One bad storm rolling through in the middle of the night and a terrified Charlie led to quite a mix-up between her and Banks. One that caused lines to blur and once clarity struck things could never go back to the way they were before. 

Figuring it’s time to move on and really wants the help she calls her dad to see if she can stay with him for a little while as she looks for a new job. When she returns home she discovers certain things have changed in the time she’s spent away. Her dad seems to have found himself a family and they’re not exactly thrilled about Charlie being there. Personalities begin to clash causing tempers to flare and it feels like Banks and Charlie are walking a tightrope trying to ignore their desires. Needless to say, the book title couldn’t be more appropriate. 😂

The tension in this book is so damn good I almost didn’t want it to stop lol! Almost… 😏
It just felt like every time Charlie and Banks were in the same space you could feel a charge in the air between them even if they weren’t talking to each other. And I of course loved how overly “protective” Banks was when it came to her. Especially when he apparently wasn’t in the past. The spice - Mmmph 🤌🏻 magnifico

Rory and Tate did a great job of having the spice slowly build up in intensity and it really helped the pace of the book for me. Even though the story was short and a lot of things happen in a short amount of time having the spice gradually increase kept it from feeling like things were moving at light speed. It’s one of the things I like most about Rory and Tate’s writing is their ability to write books that are on the shorter side yet the stories flow in a way that makes them feel like they aren’t rushed. 
That and there’s usually at least one spicy moment that stands out from the rest. One that will have you looking up from your book like 😳😳😈. I’ve never wanted a thigh tattoo so bad in my life! I had no idea a tattoo gun could be so…useful… that’s all I’m saying! 🤣😮‍💨 

OH!! And I just can’t write this review and NOT mention that there’s a cameo from my favorite psycho! 🥹🤭 I just love when he pops his ass into other people's stories like he belongs there! 
(You do baby… you most certainly do.😌)

Bottom line it’s another fanfuckingtastic taboo read from this duo and it’s absolutely worth the read! I cannot wait for more books in this little corner of their world!
