Review: Tessa Bailey’s WINDOW SHOPPING.

Thanks to the author for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.

📖 Q: are you more of a Grumpy or a Sunshine?

Where do I start with this review? Seriously, help a girl out.

I think I’ll just say that Tessa Bailey’s Window Shopping brought me so much joy. From the heroine’s initial (seeming) disdain & confusion regarding the Ted Lasso-inspired hero to her eventual delighting in every ounce of his dorkiness, to the way they meet each other emotionally time & time again, to the steam that was whistling out of my book as the sexual tension builds & eventually gets PIPING hot.

Tessa Bailey writes charismatic books that again & again prove that she knows what the readers want: a tantalizing blend of heart & heat, where characters LUXURIATE in feeling & so do I as I read them.

If the thought of

😍 Sunshine & the grumpy
😍 Second chance—as in Stella, the lead who is a recent correctional facility release, has longed to be a window dresser her whole life & finally gets her chance
😍 Aiden, the lead, wearing bow ties & carrying around a bubble butt & bearing a plethora of down-home stories about his wild Aunt Edna & also being a sexual beast
😍 & Holiday good times

sound good to you, check out the CW & pick this one up. I swooned hard.

5 ⭐️.


CW: Stella was arrested for armed robbery but at the time she didn’t realize the guns they used were real & had no intention of hurting anyone & afterwards rendered aid. The victim survived & is “okay.”
