Still reeling from a messy divorce, kindergarten teacher Venus Thibodeaux is on a self-proclaimed healing journey and adamant that she's done with love. She's determined to move on from her toxic past with a fresh start in a new city, but starting over isn't as easy as it sounds.

Anthony "Nuney" Nunez is young. He's unpolished, unpredictable, and according to his daughter's kindergarten teacher—a lousy parent. In fact, the two can't see eye to eye on anything except the strange attraction they have for each other every time their paths cross.

After Anthony and Venus find themselves on a wild date that shouldn't have been, they become embroiled in a torrid affair that threatens her healing journey, exposes the secrets in his sketchy life, and makes her question if she's really done with love after all.

This is a slow-burn adult contemporary romance intended for mature listeners.

I'm a HUGE of this series and this stand alone for Anthony and Venus was Soooo Good. However, the Narrators were just Ok. Midnite is usually descent, but I felt a disconnect with his narrating. I literally started the audio 5 times to get into the narration. Please bring back Winston James...

This story is 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall the book is good and has a great story. The book just takes too long to get to the point. Characters are well written though.

Extremely slow burn

I love this book. I love this book so much that I've read it 3 times in the 6 months since its release (it's a comfort read at this point). Rae Lyse's writing is so captivating that you crack one of her books open just to take a peek and before you know it, you've read 80 pages. The entire Sun Series is excellent but Ant and Venus hold a special place in my heart. The only reason I didnt give this audio version 5 stars is because of the male narrator. The mispronunciations, the odd inflections, random pauses in the middle of sentences and the garbled words almost ruined the listening experience for me. Anthony's lovable, magnetic, complex character fell flat with his performance. Sigh. I probably won't revisit the audio but I will definitely read this book again (and again).

Excellent read

This is one of my favorite books ever. My favorite romance books involve excellent world building, intimacy, and some surprises along the way. This book had all that. Nuney is a 10/10 and Rae truly has a gift.

The BEST

Sweet story but it truly didn’t even have to be this long. I felt like things were constantly being repeated for emphasis but wasn’t necessary. The overall story was sweet. I was so glad to hear Munch COULD speak

The length
