Excerpt:
"Raiva’s face was flushed as he closed the distance between them before she could react. His body towered over her, the closeness causing the gentle scent of him to reach her. He smelled like mint and something that reminded her of fresh, clean linen, hanging in the summer breeze.
Heat welled up in her stomach, and she made up her mind.
/I surrender."
Raiva is the 32-year-old proprietor of a new boarding house. Her life has been a roller coaster thus far: she was recently widowed for the second time, has been dragged through the rumor mill repeatedly, and lost her family and friends as a result.
Now she is ready for a new chapter, to live her life quietly, enjoying the small things (nice liquors especially). Her tenants, however, seem to have different plans?
- This story contains mature themes, explicit sexual scenes (including varying degrees of bdsm), as well as poly and lgbt+ themes -
My review is purely from the first ten chapters I've read (which was the latest chapter at this time). There's mystery surrounding the FL which intrigues me to read more and of course, her housemates too! They are all unique in their own way and I can't help but ship her with someone (you know it!) based on their introduction alone. The steamy scene, I would say it's tasteful. It was not excessive and it was not stretched out too much. Love it! PS: To bibliophiles, if it helps, it has the typical paperback book vibe.
Story seems pretty intriguing and your writing style is great! I like how you describe the story and synopsis is good to. I feel that FL will face difficulties and this new job will be a new adventure as well for her. Curious about other characters to and about their stories as well! This is all I can say overall great job!
It's my first time reading such a story on this platform. I really liked the plot and the characters. I am really looking forward to read more chapters in the future. Keep up the good work author 👍
The author slowly introduces the characters, so read closely for the first 3 chapters. 🫶🏻 it is well written, a slow read, but will get you hook once you meet the characters. I cant wait to see where the story leads. I don’t really like historical romance but this novel has me intrigued.
