Flirting with Fifty

Loved this! I'm not sure if Rhi was supposed to be non-neurotypical (there's got to be a better way to phrase that), but I definitely got that vibe from some of her behaviors. This was a lot of fun to read - I kind of want a novella or something with Aunt Belle and her old flame who reappears in this book, since she was a delightful character. I also really liked Rhi and Samson and their backstories were both realistic and interesting. This series is something of a spinoff of the [b:Hurts to Love You 35068637 Hurts to Love You (Forbidden Hearts, #3) Alisha Rai https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1504987659l/35068637.SY75.jpg 56364085], the last book in the Forbidden Hearts series, and it's definitely less angsty than those were, though I also loved them. Alisha Rai is basically one of my auto-reads now. A brief note about the cover, since illustrated covers for romance are apparently ~~controversial~~ these days: this cover is adorable and I love it. The sex scenes here, though, are still very much in line with the rest of Alisha Rai's work (at least what I've read), so no decorous fade-to-black here. Not a warning, just a note in case that's something you'd prefer to avoid.
