“This book outdone Kosoko Jackson last book”
I was so amazed how much I love this book even more than Kosoko Jackson's previous book. I had a tough time with second chance romance so I was a bit relieved to read about Kosoko Jackson newest book, A Dash of Salt and Pepper, a bit of enemies to lovers vibe with a bit of age gap trope as well.
A Dash of Salt and Pepper follows Xavier coming back to his hometown after being passed over and dumped in the same month. Things are not going so well in Xavier's life, and it does not help that he is back to his hometown either. He really does not do it despite it, and it’s just a feeling of being disappointed with how his life is at the moment. I really felt for him because it takes a lot to be top of the game in a city town than a small town. It’s a lot to handle and it does change you. And it’s something Xavier struggles with. It also does not help that Logan bugs him more than any other person in his hometown.
I kinda feel for Xavier because Logan does get under Xavier's skin. But it also gives Xavier an opportunity when they start working together. It’s a forced proximity trope! They may not get along with each other at first but they do share a undenying attraction for each other. It’s always the opposite that attracts you the most. and it definitely doesn’t help that Logan is an older man and a single father as well.
What I enjoy the most about Xavier and Logan is their romance is not rushed or slow-paced. It’s a steady pace that we get to know more about them. That’s what I treasure the most about them because we get to read about their progress as individuals and as a couple.
