Cy Sweet is one of the three heirs for Sweetopia, a theme park started by his family, and the family rebel, with a degree in art history, of all things. But his family forced him to postpone his visit to Greece and go undercover at their own theme park, where the labor force may be ready to strike for fair wages and work conditions. Cy was supposed to go "undercover boss" as Marcus, a temp, and root out the organizer. Instead, he fell for the "Red Velvet Queen", one of the characters in the park. But the queen is actually single mom Jolie Cox, trying to raise two kids, one with special needs, with the main job and a bit of an unmentionable "side-gig". What happens when they learned each other's real identities?
The idea that the family got no karma, and Cy was the ONLY one that sees things clearly, bothered me a bit. It's too cartoonishly simplistic. 4/5

GRR Reviews Mountains Wanted (Mountains Trilogy) by Phoebe Alexander
Mountains Wanted, while an interesting journey through love, and relationships, ultimately feels too long at 400+ pages, and you just "knew" this couple... still has issues.
Dr. Sarah Lynde teaches sociology, after putting herself through school and rose to associate professor. She is a single mother with two children by two different partners, and she's open-minded about sex. She thought she knew exactly what she wanted... Until she met Army First Sergeant James McAllister, an ROTC instructor that was attending one of her classes. Their connection was well beyond anything she'd ever experienced, and what started as "just sex" turned into friends with benefits... for he is a mountain she cannot resist climbing, even as they promised each other nothing... But Sarah can't help wanting more from James... and James... has a terrible choice to make.
There were a lot of emotional swings, and Sarah finding herself wanting more from that relationship... that wasn't really a relationship. I personally think James came across a bit bland though. But once the story got going, there sure were a lot of steamy sex. And their story isn't over. There are additional volumes to buy. Which brings up a point... The ending does feel a bit... arbitrary, but it works within the context of the story. But at 458 pages, it felt 100 pages too long.
