Do you like books with relatable characters, deep emotions, lots of humor, and an HEA? If so, this book is for you! In true Pippa Grant fashion she has taken us back to Tickled Pink and written Tavi and Dylan’s story in her way of bringing out their secrets, feelings, and desires, and has you cheering them on, laughing and crying for them, and being happy when they get their happy ending.
Tavi is a social influencer with a secret life beyond the screen. Dylan is a reformed bad boy with a past and some secrets of his own. Both of them just want to be themselves, but their hurt from the past gets in the way. Read how they help each other through it with some sizzles and sparks thrown in, laugh reading about goats and chicken thighs, and cheer when they figure it out together and get that happy ending.

“Rich in Your Love“ by Pippa Grant is the second book in Piper Grant's Tickled Pink Book 2 series and tells the story of Tavi and Dylan.
Tavi is a famous social media influencer, but her passion is the cocoa plantation in Costa Rica. However, when her grandmother forces her to return to the small town to work with her other siblings on a charity project to help them become "better people", the influencer is supposed to work with the attractive plumber Dylan.
I have to say, unfortunately, that I really didn't like this book at all. I picked up “Rich in Your Love“ because the blurb sounded very promising. Also, I don't remember ever reading a story about a social media star and a plumber. I was hoping for a funny, maybe refreshing, small-town story. But unfortunately not received.
Most of the dialogue in the story was really at least very strange and often felt quite off. There was hardly any, I would almost say no character that I liked. Tavi's grandmother was rightly called a witch by her because she was one. That's why I decided to stop the book after forty percent.
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
I LOVED visiting Tickled Pink again – the townspeople are rich characters themselves and a huge element to the enchantment and fun. I fell in love with Tavi’s heart in the first book and could not wait for her story. Dylan could not be a better hero – watching them grow and self-heal and peel back layers and love on their way to their HEA was perfection. I cannot wait to see what Tickled Pink has in store for us next – and fall deeper in love with the inclusive and amazing Tickled Pink community!
Welcome back to Tickled Pink, where you are going to laugh and fall in love with this world and characters. Pippa Grant writes stories you can connect with, places you want to move to and just belong, and this book is a perfect example of that.
We met Tavi in “The one Who Loves You” and we just got a taste of her quirky almost bipolar personality. Tavi is an influencer that has dreams for so much more, but like the rest of the Lightly’s she is commanded by her grandmother to drop everything and move to Tickled Pink.
Once again Pippa has given us a book about self awareness and the want and need to do better, to do better for themselves as well as the others around them. This is the second book in this series and it is definitely worth the read, it can be read as a stand-alone but I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to spend time with these characters!
Pippa Grant just does an amazing job of getting you to just love and root for the characters in her books. She makes us laugh, hope, and just want that HEA for everyone. Rich in Your Love is the second book in her Tickled Pink series and I just loved it!
Tavi is dragged away from the new life she is trying build by her scheming grandmother. She needs the money from her trust fund to fulfil her dream and the only way she can get it is to spend a year in Tickled Pink becoming a better person. Whiles she's there she meets reformed bad boy Dylan and they are both attracted to each other, but are both wary of getting closer. She knows she will be leaving as soon as she can and he's just letting go his past. Tiktok Tavi was pretty annoying but when you got to know the real Tavi she was so much more, passionate, kind and caring. Dylan was so sweet, helpful and determined to be a better man. There are lots of shenanigans along the way with Tavi trying to keep her secret. Tavi thinks she has to choose between her new life and Dylan, but sometimes being rich in love means you can have it all.
This book sounded interesting and I have not read the author before so I was excited to try something new. Unfortunately, I really struggled to connect with both the characters and the story line. I felt like the story started off slow and I just couldn't quite get into it, in part because I think the writing style just didn't work for me. If you have read this author's work before and enjoyed it, you may love this one too, but sadly this just wasn't for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
4⭐️ At first I was a bit confused and the beginning was a little slow to get into. But! After that I really got into the story and really liked the characters. I liked the small town aspect and the interactions in Tickled Pink with everyone from the town. It was a fun read that had me laughing at some points and it was just a nice light read.
Rich in Your Love (Tickled Pink Book 2)by Pippa Grant is small town strangers to lovers slow burn romantic comedy. This book can be standalone, but recommend as part of a series and read The One Who Loves You (Tickled Pink Book 1) first.
Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer secretly trying to save a cacao farm in Costa Rica but her grandmother is forcing her to work in Tickled Pink in order to keep getting her trust fund to finance her cocoa farm and she helps bad boy plumber Dylan with his own secrets. She gets torn to stay in Ticked Pink or go back to Costa Rica.
Wow, another great addition to the Tickled Pink Series. After starting the book my first thought was how is this book was going to have a HEA, but Pippa Grant makes it work. All this reading of chocolate I really want some fancy Godiva chocolate. This book is a slow burn, but the first sex scene is hot. I like how even though Tavi and Dylan are opposites they both have painful pasts where they support each other. There are also entertaining twists I did not see coming. I really enjoyed this book and hope to have more books in this series in the future.
This book is about finding yourself and stepping away from people that drag you down and make you feel less than you are.
Octavia Lightly, Tavi, has spent her entire pampered life dealing with her dysfunctional family putting her down. Either she is too heavy, not smart enough, or wasting her life. She finally has a plan and is working toward showing not only her family but also the world that follows her every move that she can succeed without them.
Dylan spent his youth pulling pranks and not leaving the best impressions on his friends or fellow towns folks. He is trying his best to change that as an adult and works hard to be the nice guy that helps everyone. When Tavi Lightly and her crazy family come to town and takes over he has to work a little harder to remain nice, that is to everyone but Tavi.
Great characters and a good lesson to be learned in the story. I enjoyed it.
This is one of my favorite books of Pippa's that I've read in a long time. Dylan and Tavi are great together. I laughed several times. I love the townspeople. I'm looking forward to more Tickled Pink shenanigans.
Pippa Grant proves once again that she is the queen of all things wonderful and has the best people living in her head (she’s a writer; it’s not weird). Rich In Your Love is the second book in Grant’s Tickled Pink duo and is even better than the first! Tavi Lightly is a heroine who may not be perfect but who is constantly striving and making an effort to be better. Dylan Wright is a PARAGON of book boyfriends. Reformed high school bad boy turned dedicated local plumber and community member, Dylan is one of the most genuinely real book heroes I have ever read. His gentle support of not only his community but Tavi as well will make your heart go pitter patter and fill your stomach with butterflies. The easy friendship between the two that blossoms into the kind of love that can only happen between two people who just understand each other is swoon worthy! Set against the quirky locals of Tinkled Pink and the Lightly’s -out of touch and out of towners -Rich In Your Love promises to be one of your favorite reads.
A sweet romantic read. Secrets always catch up with you. The world knows me as Tavi Lightly, sugar-free social media influencer. But my true purpose lies in secretly restoring a cacao farm in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, to save the farm, I need access to the trust fund that my grandmother has frozen. She’s requiring me to do charity work in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin, and until I meet her ultimatum—no trust fund. So to Tickled Pink I go.
My first grandmother-approved charity project? Helping local reformed bad boy Dylan Wright. He has secrets too, like how he’s hung up on his married best friend. Kick-starting his dating life is as easy as making him famous through association with me.
Not so easy is the fact that we’re falling for each other. He belongs in Tickled Pink, and I belong on my farm. We might share our secrets with one another, but can we really share our lives too?
This is the second book in the Tickled Pink series. I was happy to receive an ARC after enjoying the first book in the series.
The rich Lightly family is sent to small town of Tickled Pink in an effort to save their souls and trust funds at the insistence of their evil grandmother. Tavi is a social media influencer trying to maintain her online persona while in Tickled Pink. Dylan Wright is the former high school bad boy now a beloved local plumber. Tavi is tasked with turning the small-town plumber into a social media star to increase tourism to the small town. Tavi is trying to meet her grandmother's demands so that she can get back to her real life which she keeps secret from her social media persona. Dylan is trying to move on from his unrequited love. Along the way, he begins to see that Tavi is more than she seems and Tavi sees Dylan as he is. To Tavi, Dylan is not a reformed bad boy but a truly good man.
I felt for Tavi and all that her mother put her through. Dylan is proof that people can change, but they still carry their past with them.
Overall I did like the story. I love the town and all its characters. I felt like the story did drag a bit. It took a while for the sparks between Tavi and Dylan to develop. I would happy to read more about Tickled Pink..
Rich in Your Love is book two in the Tickled Pink series by Pippa Grant. I adored the first book in this series, The One Who Loves You, so I was really excited about getting Tavi’s book.
Octavia “Tavi” Lightly, middle child in the Lightly clan is known as the vegan, sugar free, fitness and fashion guru/influencer on social media. She has millions of followers. But no one knows the REAL Tavi Lightly. The Tavi who donates most of her salary to charities and who has found her place in life on a small cacao farm in Costa Rica. All she wants is to harvest her cacao beans and make the best chocolate truffles anyone has ever tasted. But when her grandmother, Gigi, goes off the rails and insists the entire family move to Tickled Pink for one year to do good deeds in order to find heaven, Tavi is forced to go because if she doesn’t, Gigi will freeze her trust fund. A trust fund she needs to keep the farm running.
Dylan Wright is the plumber in Tickled Pink. Dylan had a troubled childhood and as a result, he didn’t act in a way he is proud of. He hurt people. But he turned himself around and does his best to be a good man now. Dylan has been best friends with Hannah since they were little and he thinks of her as the one who got away. He didn’t tell her how he felt and she married someone else. Now he watches from a distance as the woman he is convinced he is in love with moves on with her life.
Then Tavi came to town. Tavi with all her ideas of putting Dylan on Social Media as the sexy plumber who can help people to deal with their own home plumbing needs. This will bring tourism to Tickled Pink and will also help Dylan to move on to date new people. The only problem with that is that while Tavi is helping him, they start falling for each other.
Dylan soon learns that Tavi’s real smiles, real laughs and her quick wit are not at all the same as the personality she shares on social media. And it’s the real Tavi he is falling for. And Tavi sees Dylan differently than anyone else. She didn’t know the mean Dylan from his childhood. She only knows him as the man he is today.
I have so many different feelings towards this book. First, heartbreak for Tavi and how her family made her feel about herself. I give her so much credit for finding what makes her happy outside of her family’s expectations. It was so hard for her to accept that Dylan saw her as a beautiful, successful woman. And I felt so bad for Dylan constantly trying to prove that he was a good man. That his behavior years ago still hung over his head. I already knew Tavi’s grandmother from the first book but this one made me dislike her even more and what she was putting her family through. But, I also have to say that I think that this book was a little too long. It seemed like there was a lot of repeating. I found myself skimming at times because I’d heard the same thing so many times. So, while I enjoyed getting to know Tavi and Dylan’s story, I felt like it was a little drawn out at times. It did have such a cute ending and I do love this quirky little town. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, some sexy and swoony moments and some sighs as well.
Smexy small town plumber? Yes please!!
Dylan Wright is the small town boy that every girl could easily fall madly in love with. He’s kind, has a sense of humor, & is pretty darn nice to look at. He’s stuck in limbo over a previous sorta relationship & just hasn’t found a reason to open up his heart for more in a long time.
Tavi Lightly is the social media influencer sister of Phoebe from book 1 in this Tickled Pink series. My previous impression is that she is quiet & secretive when it comes to her family. Well, she definitely has a secret! Her heart is one of the best things about Tavi. She just needs someone to see her for who she truly is so that her heart can shine through.
Dylan sees her on a deeper level that surprises even Tavi. There’s something about Tavi that intrigues Dylan. As they spend more time together in a social media experiment, these two find that they share more than a love of driving Estelle Lightly crazy. Shenanigans that made me snort laugh occur, moments of heated passion develop, and episodes of self reflection & a little heartache happen. Having a man like Dylan stand beside her through all of the ups and downs of the life she lives…both the Tickled Pink pulled trust fund baby kind & the secret Costa Rica philanthropist kind…is all she ever needed and more than she could’ve asked for.
Pippa Grant is a good author, but this book just wasn't for me. The character was very reminiscent of Alexis Rose from Schitt's creek, but the author tried to give her hidden depth - she was only pretending to be a flaky celebrity-obsessed influencer. I didn't love the plot. The hero was a cutie, but just not enough to make me care about the romance.
This is the second book in the series and while in the first book, I had some issues with the characters, I really loved the characters in this book. Tavi, in the last book, was flighty and silly and her behavior was masterfully explained by Pippa Grant. She became a very identifiable character- as an internet sensation, she had to keep up with appearances and I loved how her internal monologue realized how exhausting and ridiculous it was. She meets Dylan, who has his own reputation to overcome, having been the ultimate bad boy when he was younger. I loved them two together, first coming together as friends and then something more but also, I loved the community and supporting characters (including Phoebe from the first book, who I wasn't a huge fan of!)
Funny, wacky characters, smart dialogue and just overall, an interesting colorful world really differentiates this story from so many others I've read this year!
Rich in Your Love (Tickled Pink Book 2)
by Pippa Grant
Bit of a slow start - it was an OK read. Tavi and Dylan will they find their Happy Ever After?
5 Tickled Pink Stars
Rich in Your Love is the second instalment of the Tickled Pink series by Pippa Grant. Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer, known for being a fitness junkie and vegan. She carries her little dog around and acts like she has nothing but air in her head. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. She is trying to build something for herself, and her grandmother and the town of Tickled Pink are getting her way.
Dylan is the town plumber and is trying to make up for his misspent youth. He is now the towns golden boy and as he tries to find out what Tavi’s secrets ae and decide what type of person she really is. She tends to drive him a little mad.
With every Pippa Grant book I read I fall more in love with her books and her characters, and this book was no different. This book was jam packed full of laugh-out-loud moments and the chemistry between the Dylan and Tavi was so good. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter. The secondary characters were as always top notch! I highly recommend this read.
