Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars. Spice: 🌶️🌶️ The story starts off with a Hollywood Director, Ford Ross crashing into Mara Stellar's comic book store to aid himself in rain, where he immediately gets captivated by her beauty and lively personality. When I picked this book, I thought it was named after the slowly brewing up chemistry between the two characters and damn was I right about that when the title made sense to me!!! I didn't give 5 stars because I wanted to see more of Mara and Ford's Relationship, after they have moved past from their initial phase of dating; Mara and Don's bonding. I feel like they would have made a fun duo, giving hard time to Ford. Nevertheless, the story was great. It's easy to read and had me hooked till end. Not even once I felt like skipping through any paragraph (or chapter). What felt like perfect cherry on top was how the story keeps mentioning about movies and superheroes' comic books. It was my favorite element of the book. Mara Stellar is a hardworking woman who does everything in her power to keep her Twin's dream alive. She went through a lot of pain but came out stronger. In the end, she really was a superhero of her own life. Ford Ross, god that man can have my heart & I won't ask for it back. He's amazing, loves Mara with everything, always so attentive and keen on communication. Just when I thought that man couldn't be anymore perfect, he did things, sweet things for Mara's Dog, Zephyr. Always getting him treats, taking him on walks. God that man!!! There wasn't any character I didn't liked, well except for a *cough* Douche *cough* Doug and Dr. Stellar until the end where his character improves. The author did an amazing job in showing the temptation and tension between the two. How it simmers with time until it boils and both of them explode. The spice was mild, not too graphic so easily an ideal book for those who don't prefer to read smut. This book isn't about two different people from two different worlds falling in love. This amazing book is about two different people from different worlds falling in love and creating a life together, facing struggles and fixing things together. This beautiful story explores: – Small Town Romance, – Celebrity Romance, – Slow Burn, – Contemporary Romance, – Strangers to Lovers, – He falls first. If you love a book with these elements then, I'd say you gotta get this book!!! Lastly, big thanks to #netgalley for this amazing book!
