I thought A Proposal They Can't Refuse was a great debut release for the author. You definitely get that hybrid of women's fiction and romance, it felt like it went into the women's fic, which is something I don't tend to gravitate toward. And in saying that, I wish there was more on the romance front.
I have to say that I wouldn't call this a lighthearted romcom, I appreciated the author trying to keep things light, but the undertones were pretty heavy with the MCs trauma.
I truly loved Kamilah and Liam's chemistry, which had a lot of promise towards some great steam, but that fell short for me too.
Overall, not quite what I expected, loved the author's writing and I'm definitely looking forward to what Natalie writes, next.
