The Hot Henry Effect by Lacy Chalice

This book is a quick, happy-go-lucky romance hit,
the kind you devour in one sitting and then stare into the void wondering why you have not personally encountered a Henry-shaped man in the wild.
The plot is peak comfort: she’s a delightful disaster, he’s been quietly (loudly) in love with her since forever, and he falls first which is always top-tier entertainment.

It’s friends to lovers and the vibes are flirty enough to make you kick your feet. Henry is that perfect blend of competent, caring, and embarrassingly devoted: the “I fixed your problem and also brought snacks” variety of man. Truly: WHERE does one meet this breed of man.

BUT LISTEN.
This book was marketed as “spicy habanero” and ended up being more “mild banana pepper at a suburban Chili’s.”
The romance? Delicious.
The heat? …There’s literally one scene. ONE. Why they emphasized smut like it was a five-alarm fire, I simply do not know. I’m not sure why they tried to advertise this book as smut when there’s literally one scene. No need for the bait-and-switch; the love story carried the whole thing effortlessly without turning the pages into a fire hazard.

If you want a fast, flirty, friends-to-lovers quickie (yes, the trope, not the extracurricular activity) that leaves you with a smile and a craving for your very own Henry, this is absolutely it.

Five stars because if the universe would like to drop an emotionally competent engineer with heart-eyes and spreadsheet precision into my life, I am absolutely available.

BUY YOUR OWN HENRY HERE ! (JK… it’s the book, but enjoy!)
