Of course, feelings have other plans….\r\n\r\nTheir chemistry was high, but it was the emotional side of their story that really got to me. Seeing two broken people find comfort, connection, and eventually… finallyy… something deeper made this a satisfying read.\r\n\r\nMy one frustration?

She absolutely deserved to get what was coming to her!\r\n\r\nOverall, a steamy, emotional romance with damaged characters, a slow realisation of feelings, and plenty of angst along the way.","date":"12th Sep 2026"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"","show_quantity_input":0,"title":"Throttle and Tender by Kara Holt","gift_wrapping_available":false,"min_purchase_quantity":0,"customizations":[],"images":[{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-21532\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f3681\u002f3967\u002fthrottletender1l__80336.1788225771.JPG?c=2","alt":"Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance\n\nHeat Level: 3\n\nWord Count: 61, 000\n\nISBN: 978-0-3695-1529-2\n\nEditor: CA Clauson\n\nCover Artist: Jay Aheer"}]}
