Making Up by Lucy Parker
3.0

So while I didn't like this quite as much as the other two I've read by this author, I still think she writes really fun adult romances that I am a total sucker for. This one has a second-chance romance, one of my favorite romance tropes. The heroine is a burlesque dancer and the hero is a makeup artist, which I found a really interesting combination, and I liked the scenes that revolved around their professions.
A constant in her stories is the authenticity with regards to intimate scenes. I really appreciate that every sexual encounter isn't earth-shattering and perfect. Sometimes it's awkward and silly.
I liked our main couple, but I did think that this relationship and the conflicts within relied a little too much on miscommunication for my liking. Also, once they realized the miscommunication, their relationship jumped from dislike to intimate almost instantaneously, and I wish that there had been just a little more transition.
That said, I am total trash for this author and series of books and will continue to read them as long as she writes them.
