Spice Me Up (Love Takes No Holidays #2)


And the Christmas ARCs have started!!! Here's Aria Clark and J.F. Miev's "Spice Me Up." It's the second novel in their Love Takes No Holidays series. 

["ETHAN
Getting snowed in a day before important business negotiations is my idea of a living nightmare. And to make matters worse? Since I am stuck, my PA decides to clear my schedule for an entire week so I can ‘take some time off and relax’.
It’s pure hell. I don’t know what to do with so much free time.
Until the luxury hotel’s chef-in-training decides to save me from my suffering. He’s tall, hot and surprises me at every turn. I’m not good with his type. But it’s hard to stay away from him when being bored is the alternative. Besides, a quick fling never hurt anyone, right?

JAKE
Ethan is my dream man. He’s sexy, grumpy and a total workaholic. He’s also some important CEO who’s way out of my league.
But when has that ever stopped me?
He’s stuck here and doesn’t know how to have fun. That’s perfect—I’m the best distraction around here. Plus, I’ve got a few recipes that need test-runs. And if things get a little heated, well, you can’t blame me for it. It’s totally mutual.
Only, I never expected it might be hard to let Ethan go once I’ve gotten a taste of him."]

This novella was adorable. It was filled with romantic moments and fairytale dates and wonderful spice. And the best part, Jake and Ethan kept mentioning how Hallmarky and cheesy and perfect their romance seemed (very meta). 

I love how their personas were so on point, but also just so surprising. Ethan is a bit grumpy to the outside world, but with Jake, he's a soft, sweet nerd. Jake...okay, so Jake is a cinnamon roll of a baby bear to the outside world and for Jake, but it just hits differently when you're with your man.
