Wow!!

Beautiful and serious. Touches on real life issues regardless of gender. All the struggles, sadness , and happiness.

Deep Good Story

Wow! What a book! Ms Bliss has done it again! This book is very thought provoking and deep! It moved a slower than usual due to the subject matter however the story and writing is so good I couldn’t put it down! Such a great book and Ms Bliss is a writing ass and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Great read!

So Real! I loved it!

I laughed, cried, and related on too many levels…. This is a keeper. I am off to find the next book by Bliss or narrated by Dawes… I love her voice. It makes me feel so many emotions.

Intense & Real & Beautiful

As an adult child of an alcoholic father, this beautiful and haunting story hit home - at times being so real I needed to take long breaks and revisit after. A triumph of the human spirit w the support of loved ones is always a compelling story. It’s a fabulous prequel of sorts to the series. Looking forward to the rest 🫶

awesome series

love the characters and the storyline I am definitely a fan of the pink bean series

Awesome

For me it was one of the best pink beans I read/listen so far! A great romance together with a great history.

Temptation is always Lurking,,,

This is fast becoming my favorite author. I just love the way the characters stay together over a span of time, but keep the same friends,throughout. Off to my next adventure.

Not really a romance novel

Not fun and light. A lot of seriousness and stress. One great sex scene. Overall, its ok. Good narrator though.

Similar to my relationship

This book hit so close to home . I actually liked it more than Book one. The sex wasn’t forced the way it was performed in “No strings attached “, which seems like erotica after a bit. I hope book 3 is just as good if not better than this one.

My favorite so far!

I just started reading the pink bean series about a week ago and just finished this book. Out of the three I have read so far, this is my favorite! Josephine is a younger barista at the Pink Bean, who is severely lacking in confidence. She hates her body and thinks that everybody else around her does as well. But when she meets one of her favorite authors in the coffee shop, she starts to forget about her fears.

Caitlin James is a popular author amongst the crew, she is confident, fun, and as o charismatic. So the big question is, what would she want to do with Josephine? That is the thing that Josephine can’t seem to get past.

Reading about their blossoming relationship with a sprinkle of all of our favorite characters is what made me enjoy this book so much. And to add a little bit of interesting material, Caitlin does not believe in monogamy. That doesn’t go too much in-depth, but makes it a little bit more interesting to hear things from a different point of view.

I did really enjoy this book, I was not a fan of the constant body shaming. Josephine put upon herself, but aside from that it was great. What kept me from rating this five stars is that it did not elicit a big emotional response for me I liked it a lot, but I didn’t get all feels.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
