I absolutely adored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=6491\" target=\"_blank\">Frenched<\/a>, and have been anxiously awaiting the release of this novella. Yes, the synopsis is a little scary, and I was dreading an angsty read with stupid behaviour and epic frustration for me, but rest assured romance fans! All is well!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there is a little bit of stupid. Of course, there has to be! There has to be something that goes wrong in order for everything to come back and be made right! But the stupid is short-lived, and the book quickly moves onto some quality Mia and Lucas time, and the continuation of the beautiful love story that began eight months ago in Paris\u2026 once they move on past that fight of course\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t submit so easily to him tonight\u2014 I wanted him, but I wanted a fight too. I wanted it rough and angry, because that\u2019s the way I felt. I wanted him to work for it. I wanted to hurt him in some way, retaliate for the pain he\u2019d caused me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, oh boy, Lucas delivers! And that\u2019s just the start! Lucas has a dirty mouth, a taste for (mild) kink, and some seriously sensational moves, and holy hell, this little novella is chock-full of hotness! That and swoon. Heaps, and heaps of swoon! And I freaking LOVED IT!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cThere\u2019s no perfect life without you. In fact, I no longer dream about a \u201cperfect\u201d life. I only dream about a life with you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love these two together! They are so in love, they tease and banter, they\u2019re not afraid of sharing their feelings, and they\u2019re so functional! They have some issues to sort through in this one, and with an external influence adding stress to the situation, it does get a bit nasty, but they sort through it. They talk, they have steamy hot sex, and everything is resolved, leading up to a beautiful HEA that left me sighing with bliss and wishing for a Lucas of my very own.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s going to be more!!! Two more full-length novels in the series (at least). I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n<p>4.5 stars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Frenched series<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div data-post-id=\"15481\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-15481 \"><p><img
