How to Fail at Flirting
by Denise Williams
Full review to come, perhaps, but for now: Yes, this is full of cute couple banter in the form of very corny jokes and some steamy sex scenes (full marks for consent and condom use!), but it's also full of the aftermath and current threats of a previous abusive relationship (complete with assault, gaslighting, threats of revenge porn, etc.; but again — full marks for the realistic but sensitive portrayal of intimate partner abuse and for including help hotline numbers). So it's not just a simple contemporary romance that features a flirty to-do list and the resolution of a slight work complication. But it IS a contemporary romance that features a smart, strong, biracial, professional woman who is recovering from the trauma of abuse, killing it at work, and learning how to get her groove back.
