About this ebook
Named a Best Romance of 2021 by Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, The Washington Post, and the Fated Mates podcast!
“This book gave me every last one of the Intense Romance Feelings I crave.” —New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert
April French doesn't do relationships and she never asks for more.
A long-standing regular at kink club Frankie's, she's kind of seen it all. As a trans woman, she’s used to being the scenic rest stop for others on their way to a happily-ever-after. She knows how desire works, and she keeps hers carefully boxed up to take out on weekends only.
After all, you can't be let down if you never ask.
Then Dennis Martin walks into Frankie's, fresh from Seattle and looking a little lost. April just meant to be friendly, but one flirtatious drink turns into one hot night.
When Dennis asks for her number, she gives it to him.
When he asks for her trust, well…that's a little harder.
And when the desire she thought she had such a firm grip on comes alive with Dennis, April finds herself wanting passion, purpose and commitment.
But when their relationship moves from complicated to impossible, April will have to decide how much she's willing to want.
Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

For the Love of April French by Penny Aimes Moving from Seattle to Austin for a new job, hoping to find some action at Frankie’s Kink Club, and meeting April almost immediately may have seemed a godsend to Dennis…at first…but the road to their happily ever after takes longer than it could have and is VERY interesting to read! What I liked: * Stepping into the shoes of two people that took me outside of my norm * April: complex, intriguing, intelligent, giving, loving, mother-hen-type, has some issues to deal with, good friend, pleaser, transgender female, sub, and so much more. * Dennis: wealthy, attractive, dom, good friend, brother, son, bad breakup in the past, has much to learn and is willing to do so. * Jason: wealthy, tech guy, friend of Dennis and April, owns Frankie’s, wise, would like to see him have his own book at some point in the future. * The supporting characters * The main characters had real issues to contend with in addition to their attraction to one another * That the story was educational in addition to being a romance * How issues were worked through and getting to see how the characters were thinking while acting * That I liked the people in the story and cared about them, their lives, and the outcome of their stories What I didn’t like: * Knowing that bigotry still exists and how difficult it must be to live on the receiving end. * That April and Dennis were not open at first but in the end it did work out alright. * Having to say goodbye to the characters Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more by this author? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
