Happy Friday! This is TJ Alexander's third book, but the last one I read. It is also, if I had to pick, I think my favorite TJ Alexander.

Today we have Chef’s Choice. This book is the sorta sequel of Chef's Kiss, following Luna, Simone's roommate. There were lots of cameos from Simone and Ray, but also amazing new characters. And so much cheese!

I'm organizing the reviews chronologically based on publication, so we are starting off with Chef's Kiss, an adorable and funny slow burn romance. Here is everything you need to know about it

While I believe being related creates a foundation for love, the actual deep affection is built over time like any other form of love, and it should not be taken for granted. (2/2) #booksky

The Greek word for familial love is Storge. I also saw it described as natural or instinctual love, which is an idea I want to challenge. For a lot of people, and for a lot of these books, family relationships are complicated. (1/2)

Next we have Agape. I've seen the Greek word Agape described multiple ways, including selfless love, unconditional love, and universal love. I decided to use the last definition for this post. I wanted to highlight books about loving this world and humanity.

To start us off we have Philia, which is considered platonic or friendly love. As an aro ace person this is an incredibly important form of love for me. I care about my friends deeply, and so do the characters in these books.
