Not the Marrying Kind

4.5 stars for this sequel to Jae’s Perfect Rhythm. Although it’s not essential to read Perfect Rhythm first, it might help to fully appreciate the characters in this book. Besides it is a good book that I highly recommend.

This is a slow burn romance between florist Ashley Gaines, and baker Sasha Peterson. Ashley and Sasha agree to work together on Perfect Rhythm’s main characters, Holly and Leo’s wedding. Ashley identifies as a lesbian but is deeply in the closet and Sasha is a pansexual. Many readers of Perfect Rhythm disliked/hated Ashley. I didn't like or agree with her actions but I felt sympathetic towards her. So I was happy to learn that Ashley was the center of this sequel. I thought she deserved her story to be told and to find happiness. She fears that her parents would find out and her small-town flower shop business would suffer if her secret got out. However, it not so simple, there is more to her story.

We watch as the friendship between Ashley and Sasha grows and slowly becomes romantic. Will Ashley finally overcome her fears and make her own happiness her priority? Obvious answer. But it is an enjoyable book to read, that I highly recommend. 

Note: Another cameo from Jae’s other books includes Lauren and Grace from her Hollywood series.

Loved the fact Jae was able to redeem Ashley in this book. Felt weird having no epilogue since I have gotten so conditioned to them.
