Latte Darling by SJ Tilly

A cute refresh from dark romance! SJ Tilly is quickly becoming my favorite author for AMAZING plus size representation. The MMCs always love and are so deeply attracted to the FMCs in her books without any discussion of changing them or losing weight. Pure lust and attraction to plus size women is just so refreshing. Latte Darling, while a little cringe, was fun, sweet, and spicy. Maddie is so likeable and funny and Axel (the cringe of the book) is hot, domineering and masculine. Which we love. Definitely 10/10 as far as the age gap romance goes, it's not creepy at all or weirdly done. Maddie is 28 and Axel is late 40s (tbh possibly 50, I can't remember) and I loved their dynamic. If you want a quirky plus size romance then this is worth using an Audible credit for. The voice actors did such a great job, especially Gomez Pugh who voiced Axel.

Spice -🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Overall -⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

In 'Latte Darling,' SJ Tilly shines a light on plus size romance, providing a refreshing escape from typical romance tropes. Readers will find Axel, a mature and masculine character, deeply attracted to Maddie's charisma without any notion of physical change. This book stands out for its authentic representation of plus size women, showing pure attraction and lust that challenges societal norms. The story embarks on the dynamics of an age-gap relationship, navigating the societal perceptions of such bonds while keeping the narrative heartwarming and relatable. Maddie's humor and likability blend perfectly with Axel's confident demeanor, showcasing a partnership rooted in mutual respect and attraction. The narrative provides a fun mix of sweet and spicy elements, making it an engaging read for lovers of contemporary romance. Notably, the audiobook performance by Gomez Pugh and Callie Dalton enhances the experience, bringing the characters and their chemistry to life. Readers are encouraged to explore this engaging auditory journey, particularly those looking for uplifting narratives that challenge traditional beauty standards and celebrate love in its many forms. If you enjoy romances with depth, humor, and authenticity, 'Latte Darling' is certainly worth a listen!
