This was short and a fine story but some parts of this felt overly chaotic and I just didn't feel enough of a connection between the characters.
This is a fated mates story but Teresa really doesn't want to give into those feelings and for me, there wasn't enough time between Teresa and Cash that might have caused her to want to be with him. Instead, she was pushed into the relationship by things mostly outside of her control, which I don't really like in this type of story. I also just didn't really get anything from the banter between them and the sex scenes didn't really work for me either.
I'll read other books by this author because the writing was fine but this plot line just didn't work well for me. ( )

I borrowed Barista and the Bear through KU. The story had a fantastic potential for a short novella. I got it for a pallet cleanser. The truth is I had to return and read a couple of passages, and this happened more than four times. I felt that the story was chopped; it did go smoothly, especially in between chapters.
I have to think if I will continue with the series—a good potential book with faulty execution. ( )
