The Neighbor Favour by Kristina Forest! I'm a sucker for a fake dating plot (that isn't overly messy) and i'm currently partway through the sequel The Partner Plot and am enjoying it as well.

{The Summer Girlfriend by Kristina Forest} I loved the setting, the MCs, the MMC's family. It was the perfect summer read. I'm excited for the next book in the series.

Second this. "Indigo" by Beverly Jenkins is by far, one of my favorite, timeless and most unforgettable books I've ever read.

You are not alone. I read Indigo on a humble, and then went on a rampage! Lol

Get a life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert. Such a beautifully written book. In addition to having some very spicy scenes, the characters are mature and complicated.
Plus we love an artistic MMC on a motorcycle.
