🌟 4.5

Sean has harbored feelings for his brother's wife since the moment they met. When Nick passes away, Sean is there for Allie through all the ups and downs, never letting on that he's in love with her. When Allie decides to move on, Sean will do just about anything to make it known to Allie that he's her man and she can depend on him.

Hush is a great novella to read if you need a palate cleanser. It's short with just the right amount of smut and romance.❤️

This novella has all the tropes that I love. Not that I will spoil it for you, but if you follow my other reviews, you'll know what they are!🤭👀😏

Thank you, NetGalley and BookBuzz, for the opportunity of an ARC!

Remember that episode in friends when Joey finds Rachel’s well used naughty book. Yep that’s this book, widow, brother in law is a policeman, and forbidden romance… and there’s the laundry room. For a spicy, short read. This is it!

Hush was such a sweet (and spicy!) quick read! Allie and Sean have leaned on each other ever since her husband Nick - who is also Sean's brother - died. But Sean has a secret...he's been in love with her this entire time.

Watching Allie and Sean find each other after that pain and pining was an absolute treat. I finished this book in less than two hours and want to dive back into this world. The parents cracked me up, the one-liners were on-point, and the spicy scene in the laundry room will live with me for a long time!

My heart about cracked when the mom mentioned watching Sean's heart break when Allie married Nick, but seeing Allie allow herself to love again mended it.

Thank you, Dixie Mason and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this adorable story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you, NetGalley, for allowing me to read and review this gem.

The cover caught my eye and then, after reading the description, I knew I had to read this book. As a widow myself, I wanted to read about a character who is dealing with grief while also living and making the most of their life. The FMC owns a bakery and jumps into work in order to keep her mind off of the sudden passing of her late husband. Nearly 10 years have passed since his death, and we come into the story in the bakery where the MMC drops a bomb on the FMC. The struggle the FMC has about being with the MMC was relatable for me and I felt that the author had handled it well.

Should you read this if you have recently lost a significant other to death? Maybe not. I know I wouldn’t have been able to read this 3 years ago when the pain was still fresh. But the relationship between the MMC and the FMC was sweet, steamy, and heartwarming.

Now bring on Caleb! I can’t wait to read his story.
