Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer, known for being a fitness junkie and vegan. She has a very lackadaisical persona, that is out for just the next good time. That is not who Tavi is at all. She would love nothing more than to smash a cheeseburger and her true passion is her cacao farm. To Fund her farm she must head to Tickle Pink, WI at her grandmother’s insistence.
Dylan Wright is the local bad boy. He becomes Tavi’s newest social media project. It does not take Dylan long to realize that Tavi is more than what social media thinks she is.
After reading this book and the first book in the serious I can officially say I don’t think that Pippa Grant’s writing style is for me. Tavi has such a personality but she was so pigeon hole that it was difficult for her to move past it. The chemistry between Dylan and Tavi was luke warm at best. I felt like Gigi is mean and could have been so much more. The one bright spot was the 2 sisters seem to be growing closer
The resolution in the 3rd act was resolved very quickly and too easily.
I think if you are looking for a tamer version of Pippa Grant this might be a book to try.. It wanted more hijinks and fun.

Tavi and Dylan fall in love in book two set in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin. Their story is told in first person from an alternating dual POV.
I was looking forward to Tavi’s story so much after reading book one. It does not disappoint. There is so much more to Tavi than the persona the public sees in her life as an influencer. I adore that she is curvy, funny, and driven. I love that her sweet exterior holds a lion. Dylan is a good guy who must come to terms with a future that is different from what he thought it was going to be. I love that he gets to know Tavi and sees the real her under the facade. I really enjoyed his attraction to her and how he tries to fight it.
They form a friendship that quickly becomes a fling. I love when it becomes more than that and they find their forever. I really enjoyed how they shared an understanding of being able to overcome past mistakes to become the people they want to be in the world. They both have beautiful souls and are perfect for each other.
Tickled Pink provides a quirky small-town backdrop for the comedy, and the family dynamics are a lot of fun as they really learn more about each other. This was a light-hearted and fun rom-com that I really enjoyed.

I’ve been wanting to read more books by Pippa Grant so this came into my kindle at the perfect time!!

I love to discover authors that I know will put a smile on my face with each book and make me laugh the whole time! This book definitely did that, it was a rom com for sure!

Pippa Grant reminds me a lot of Lucy Score. I love both of their books and they always put me in a happy mood!

This book was the second in the Tickled Pink series, and I really enjoyed the first book of the series and enjoyed this one too! It was fun to see the gang again! This book focused on Dylan the plumber and Tavi, the family member who has to fake her way through life in order to be who she really is.

I love the love that blossomed between the characters! Even though I’m not a fan of an MC having hangups on a past relationship for more than half of the book, I liked this book either way!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the earc in return for an honest review.

This second visit to the town of Tickled Pink focuses on a man who has worked very hard to change how his town views him, and a woman who has spent her life hiding her true self. Tavi and Dylan are a perfect pairing: they've both made the effort to break from their upbringing and past behaviour respectively, yet it takes meeting each other for them to realise that they are worthy of love exactly as they are.

I love Pippa Grant's writing: the humour, the positive messages, the richly layered major and minor characters, and the way the two leads each have such a distinctive voice. Plus, chocolate: always a winner! I hope we get more of Tickled Pink in the future.

A sweet, lighthearted romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant about one social media influencer’s dream of going off the grid and the IRL love she finds along the way.

Secrets always catch up with you. The world knows me as Tavi Lightly, sugar-free social media influencer. But my true purpose lies in secretly restoring a cacao farm in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, to save the farm, I need access to the trust fund that my grandmother has frozen. She’s requiring me to do charity work in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin, and until I meet her ultimatum—no trust fund. So to Tickled Pink I go.

My first grandmother-approved charity project? Helping local reformed bad boy Dylan Wright. He has secrets too, like how he’s hung up on his married best friend. Kick-starting his dating life is as easy as making him famous through association with me.

Not so easy is the fact that we’re falling for each other. He belongs in Tickled Pink, and I belong on my farm. We might share our secrets with one another, but can we really share our lives too?

Rich in Your Love is a romantic comedy and the second book in the Tickled Pink series by Pippa Grant but can be read as a standalone. It gave off the vibes of Schitt's Creek in a fun way and I really enjoyed this book.

I love Tickeld Pink! It was so easy to root for Tavi and Dylan as they discover themselves and their relationship. Plus the whole town is just so fun! Another great Pippa book!

Rich in Your Love
Author: Pippa Grant

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Note: I was able to get an advanced copy of this for review from NetGalley, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

What I Liked:
🍫 Read this one immediately after the first ebook in the series. Typically, when I read the first book that ends up being the one I like best. But there was something so charming about the relationship between Tavi and Dylan that this one wins for me hands down!

🍫I saw it everyone, but damn does Pippa Grant write some fantastic MMCs! Dylan is such a complicated character. Anguished yet growly. Down and out yet willing to try again. It is impossible not to fall in love with him. Can’t blame Tavi at all!

What I Didn’t Like:
🍫My biggest issue with this book is that I never seemed to have any chocolate on hand while I was reading. Do yourself a favor, buy some before you read. You’ll thank me later. 😉

Final Thoughts:
🍫I truly enjoyed this trip back Tickled Pink. I hope that the adventures don’t end there. I mean we have to know what Carter is up to right??!!

I cannot recommend this book enough. I love everything about it. Small town, pampered socialite, bad boy hero? What else could you want? If it’s hilarious banter and steamy love scenes, this has those too. Absolutely read this book and the others in this series.

Back to Tinkled Pink we go with another 5-star read! Like many others, I'm sure, I felt no affection for Team Lightly when they first came to town, but the one member who made me waver just a bit was Tavi. From the start, I knew there was something more going on with her. Well, after months of waiting, we finally get Tavi's story, and holy cacao, it's a good one. Tavi is so much more than she appears to be. Actually, I guess the truth is she's nothing that she appears to be. This story hammers home what we all know: social media is a playground of deception; there's very little reality seeping in. Tavi knows this, and while some may judge her for the disingenuity of her persona, she has used her social media fame for good. And her real persona? Let's just say any of us would be blessed to have her as a friend. And then there's Dylan. I don't know that my words could even do him justice. He's complicated and tortured and just an amazing person, and of course he's the perfect, and I mean PERFECT, match for Tavi. This is one of those books that I devoured; once I started, I didn't want to come up for air. Those reads are few and far between for me. I'm not sure if this series will continue, and if so, with whom, but I hope it does. I'm not sure how Ms. Grant is pulling it off, but she's taking a bunch of deplorable people and turning them into characters we love.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for providing an ARC for review.

Learning to trust your own inherent goodness

This book is filled with all the emotions, the connections and the love. And - phew - it got me right in all the feels too. Tavi and Dylan are the sweetest people who are so unsure of their own worth. They are people who feel caged in by who their families are and the choices they’ve made but in Tickled Pink , together, they are finding love, their voices and their paths. It is story full of swoons, quirky townspeople, love, absurdity, drama, sweet moments, strong families, dysfunctional families, sexy times, painful pasts, and love. And while the book is funny, it is also a deeply emotional book. It’s a story about the power of choice. Tavi Lightly is a media influencer who is vegan, sugar free, grain free, and appears plastic and vapid. Her family is all kinds of dysfunctional. When her grandmother, Gigi, the matriarch and tyrant of the family, almost chokes to death, she decides the entire family needs to move to Tickled Pink, a small town in Wisconsin, which is home to a famous movie so that they can become better people and save their souls. Dylan is a plumber in the town and he has his own less than stellar personal and family history. Tavi picks Dylan to make TikTok famous as one of her assigned soul enriching tasks. Tavi and Dylan’s journey to their HEA unfolds beautifully and organically as they spend time together working on Dylan’s TikTok account. The book is well written, has characters with a lot of depth, plenty of witty dialogue, hilarious moments, and an engaging storyline. The book hooks you in from the first word to the last and the transformation of Tavi and Dylan will give you all the feels - snort laughing, crying, swooning, gasping, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. I have read and loved every one of the author’s books but this is by far my favorite series, one I will read multiple times. I am super excited to read the next book in this series. I willingly reviewed an early copy of this book.

Oh my gosh I absolutely love this ! I mean you got Romance, family drama, wonderful small town characters, and chocolate I mean come on ! For this is such a fun series I truly enjoyed going on this ride. I loved seeing the characters develop how the family dynamics changed everything I wasn’t ready for the book to be over.

This book is great! As a sequel it is equally as good as the first book!
Anyone who reads and loves Pippa Grants books will not be disappointed in this wonderful story.
The characters are people with depth and personality kinks, you can truly enjoy their story line.
Hoping there will be more books in this series

I received an ARC of this book and it did not disappoint! I liked it even better than The One Who Loves You (which I really enjoyed!). This is the second book in the Tickled Pink series. After a near-death experience, the matriarch of the family, Gigi, decides to force her son and grandchildren (the Lightlys) to move with her to the small town of Tinkled Pink, in order to use the cult classic movie filmed there as a gudiebook to becoming a better person. Of course, it's more about Gigi forcing her family members to bend to her will than she becoming a better person, herself.

Rich in Your Love picks up with Tavi, a social media influencer, trying to balance her plans of being a better person with GiGi's ridiculous demands. Dylan, the town (reformed) Bad Boy needs someone to see and love the person he has become, while trying to get over an unrequited love.

Tavi and Dylan were easy to root for and Gigi is the literal worst. I hope this isn't the last we'll see of Tickled Pink!

A Five-star read that will tickle your fancy. This is number two in the Tickled Pink series, and they just get better and better, sweeter and sweeter. Tavi wasn’t always someone I liked, she is quite vacuous on the surface, and I think that was the plan, as who would expect a pretty empty minded person to be a mastermind. By the ned of this story Tavi had won me round and left me wanting more, and not just of her delicious creations. The more you get to know the townsfolk of Tickled Pink, the more you grow to love them like a crazy family member, I am so excited to see what will happen next.

Pippa Grant does it again with this delightful return to Tickled Pink. The story was both hilarious and sweet. I’m looking forward to visiting these characters again soon.

I read this as an Arc from Netgalley and I didn't realize this was a series. I have not read book one but will be going back as I loved this town and I need to hear more of how the Lightlys got to Tickle Pink. With that being said I LOVE Pippa Grant books so I was so happy to dive in. Her over the top charcters, in over the top situations always make reading her books the best. I do recommend reading in order as I felt like I had missed a lot of the story. I was able to catch up but it kept bringing me out of the story when I didn't if it had happened in the last book or not.

I loved Dylans charcter of the bad boy turned good guy. I loved that he really saw Tavi as her true self (probably even before herself). I loved the small town with all the kooky side chacters. I was tentative on Tavi but she grew on me. I hated that she lied about who/what she was and was so proud when she was able to break free.

I found the baking scenes amazing and hot. With all Dylans gardening skills and taste testing I could see how he fit into Tavi's world as a choclate maker/coaco farm owner. I loved how they worked together on the plumbing and in the kitchen.

Major moral of the story...your dreams come true when you love yourself for who you are.

I would 'totes' read more of this town as it grows in popularity. And on a side note I desperately want a Zero Ducks Chocolate.

Aside from a discrepancy in the story line involving Dylan’s sex life (it says he was waiting when he hooked up with Tavi but earlier in the story it mentioned him sleeping with at least two other women) this was an excellent book. I love Dylan and Tavi and how accepting they are of everything they went through in life to become who they are.

I absolutely adore Pippa Grants writing style and this definitely is on the list of some of my favourite works. I was wondering whether the sequel could top the first in the series but this one definitely did. I loved Tavi’s character and her development in this book is so lovely to see, she’s no longer the spoilt heiress that was evident in the first book and her connection with Dylan was amazing. Everything from the relationship to the family dynamics in this book were an absolute delight.

Can’t wait to see what Pippa does next
