A Dash of Salt and Pepper by Kosoko Jackson
DNF @ 11%
Since I’m stopping so soon - I’m not rating this. This is just for my reference.
Especially since I think the biggest issue is this author’s style isn’t for me. The blurb is a bit misleading as it seemed this was going to be dual POV. Unfortunately, it is entirely from Xavier’s perspective and he gets going on these internal monologues. I completely lose the original point or the convo that was happening. For romance I want to get to know both characters. Four chapters and over an hour into the audio and I know very little about Logan other than “chef” and “single dad”.
At first I was delighted by the OTT humor, but it became tedious. It had strong “new adult” vibes. And I was starting to feel like I could completely understand why Xavier’s boyfriend dumped him.
I skimmed some other reviews to see if it would get better - but the things I’m looking for don’t happen, so I’m stopping here.
Narration:
I did enjoy Joshua David Scarlett’s performance. I’d definitely check him out again in the future.
