Sweet Heat

I savoured every word of this searingly sexy second-chance romance. Bolu Babalola is in a league of her own - she has an Austen-like ability to capture the essence of a person, a feeling, in just a line. I didn’t think she could top Honey & Spice, but she absolutely has.
Epic! A classic in the making. Bolu delivered-and with extra spice! Fans of Honey & Spice will Eat. This. Up.
Sweet Heat is a reminder that Bolu Babalola understands the minutiae of not only romantic relationships, but also the complexities of human behaviour in every beautiful, strange and sometimes painful circumstance. With both a lightness of touch and a depth of feeling, Sweet Heat is about the love that keeps looking for you no matter the cost, and with Babalola’s signature humour, a story you’ll want to read over and over again.
Whip-smart, super sexy and brimming with Babalola’s characteristic wit, Sweet Heat is an intoxicating read that will make you consider sending a risky text to your favourite ex
Bolu Babalola has become one of the foremost romcom writers … Babalola expertly captures the frustration and tension that emerges when we encounter old flames, and asks us to consider how love can be equally transformative and disruptive. It’s exactly the kind of book you need this summer * Guardian *
