ARC Review: With a Cherry On Top by Letizia Lorini

Publication Date: June 13, 2025

Nobody does restaurateur romance like Letizia Lorini! Charlotte and Aaron were such a treat to read. After reading Riding the Sugar High, I was so excited to see Aaron’s story. I loved Aaron and Charlotte and their dynamic from their first meeting. They’re such different people but it’s clear they’re so compatible as well. 

Aaron and Charlotte are both complex individuals whose pasts certainly impact their present. They also have familial issues to work through, and I thought this made the book feel real and raw. The spice was great, yes, but the emotional connection from they built was so beautiful to see. 

I’m a big fan of Letizia’s books! The characters all feel so real and authentic. I loved Aaron’s daughter Sadie and her connection to her dad as well as the eventual connection she builds with Charlotte. It’s the sweetest dynamic and really helped create the depth of these characters. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
