They couldn't be more different.But as she starts seeing Lawrence, and spending more and more time with Reid, Zora finds first impressions can be deceiving.

But even as she struggles to choose between them, she can't shake the feeling that they're both hiding something--a mystery she's determined to solve before she can find her HEA. Review Quotes Paste Magazine, "Most Anticipated Romance Books of 2023"BiblioLifestyle, "The Best 2023 Romance Books"Your Tita Kate, "2023 Filipino Book Releases to Put On Your Radar" "McCoy doesn't miss a romantic beat in her swoonworthy sophomore rom-com. . . . McCoy expertly crafts a well-balanced love triangle between empathetic and passionate characters--and delivers plenty of comic relief in the form of Zora's lovable matchmaking grandmother. Readers will delight in cheering on this strong heroine." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED "McCoy imbues [Zora] with a magnetic, engaging personality; it's easy to see why Lawrence and Reid are so smitten. VERDICT In the hands of a lesser author, the love-triangle element could feel completely predictable, but McCoy capably avoids tired clichés and gives readers a new perspective on the trope. . . . [An] outstanding novel." --Nicole Williams, Library Journal, STARRED "McCoy's romance is genuine and sexy, and Zora's drive for honesty makes her a relatable heroine. The two handsome leads are not the true scene-stealers of McCoy's novel, though--that's Granny Marion, whose suggestive quips and sage advice will keep you hooked till the last page. Romance with a perfect blend of light mystery and strong female representation." --Kirkus "McCoy returns with another soul-satisfying romance featuring a readily relatable, curvy-where-it-counts heroine, whose care and concern for her family, friends, and community provide a bright and shining through-line for this splendidly sexy love story." --Booklist "Listen, if you haven't read Taj McCoy's books, you are missing out on some seriously stunning love stories!
