Spice: Steamy 🌶️🌶️ 

This novel is a heartwarming love story about second chances and the power of true love. Set in a small town in Washington, it follows Noah Carter and Parker Pruitt, childhood best friends who drift apart when Noah moves to LA to pursue his acting dreams after high school.
Ten years later, Noah returns as a successful actor for the naming of a new theatre in his honour. Their reunion is strained and filled with heartache and broken promises as they navigate the uncertainty of their past and future. As they spend time together, they realize they never stopped loving each other. The chemistry between Noah and Parker is undeniable. Their love story is endearing with their quirky inside jokes and deep connection. 

I found myself cheering for these two characters as they navigated their feelings and embraced the possibility of a future together. The novel also features some steamy scenes that add to the intensity of their romance. I wish the author had provided clearer physical descriptions of the characters at the beginning of the novel. By the time hair color and other details were mentioned later in the story, they didn't match what I had imagined, which was a bit confusing.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this story. It made me feel warm and giddy, and it will make you believe in the magic of love and second chances. I recommend reading this novel for those who enjoy a heartfelt romance. I’d also love to see a series featuring some of the other side characters!
