Description

Life at the botanical sanctuary is supposed to be about quiet growth and careful observation, but for the staff, the air is thick with rising sparks. Hummingbird shifts the focus to a slow-burn connection that smolders long before it catches fire, centering on two women whose professional boundaries begin to fray under the pressure of undeniable attraction. As they work side-by-side amidst the lush, vibrant backdrop of the greenhouse, the tension between them becomes as pervasive as the humid summer air. Frances M. Thompson crafts a narrative that is as much about emotional intimacy as it is about physical passion. The story shines in its depiction of a healthy, exhilarating romance where mutual respect serves as the foundation for every encounter. By positioning clear communication and enthusiastic consent as the ultimate aphrodisiacs, the book elevates the chemistry between the leads, making their eventual surrender to desire feel both earned and profoundly electric. This is more than just a steamy getaway; it is a beautifully layered exploration of vulnerability, trust, and the courage it takes to let someone into your heart. Perfect for those who crave a romance that balances sizzling heat with genuine, heartwarming sincerity.

Blistering heat with a heart

This book is pure fire. It’s fast, intense and so hot it should come with a warning. Keeley is a total fantasy come to life, all commanding, edgy and ridiculously sexy while still being caring and loving. Dove is soft, sweet and her own kind of hot. Together they’re explosive and every page leaves you a little breathless.

A wonderful opposites attract, reconnection, spicy read!

This was a great short, sweet, spicy novella. An Opposites attract, reconnection, spiiicy read. I read it in a single evening and loved it. The characters were well-developed, which surprised me for a novella. It was well written with fantastic characters, fun, and lights up the page. If you're wanting something to heat you up and a break from a book hangover, this is it. I'm excited for the next book in this universe.

Good characters

Dove and Keeley meet at a college party. Keeley leaves when Dove says she is straight. 14 years later becomes the head of the theater department of the same college. She goes to get a bi flag tattooed on her foot. The owner of the tattoo shop does the tattoo. Do the two women remember each other? I enjoyed this book. I like that Dove is not sure about anything in college. Keeley who becomes Kay knows who and what she is. I enjoyed that Kay remembered that party. I also liked that Dove could say what she wanted as she was tattooed although she was hesitant at first. When they learn more of each other, they realize they want more. I liked how Dove brought Keeley and her daughter into her life as they became a family. I plan on reading the rest of the series.

Short and Sweet

This was a cute short and sweet book…it said it was Domme/sub but I didn’t really get that in this book because the very few parts where you would think she would be dominant it didn’t show that. The FMC KEELEY which is supposedly the domme one is a goth tattoo business owner with a kid who is non-binary and the other FMC is a Bi Supposedly sub. There is a small age gap of 7 years between both FMCs the story line is a cute and good storyline I just wanted more. I would have really liked to see more character development especially being that there is a 14 year time jump in the story. Overall I think the story just needed more detail and because it has an HEA I would say more romance. Spice 3/5

slow burn

It was a bit too much of a slow burn for a novela in my opinion but once it actually started boy was it HOT HOT HOT. Loved how consent was portrayed as something sexy, as well. Not enough authors do that.
