Alright, alright I’ll say it: I WANNA LIVE IN TICKLED PINK!! Honestly, I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. Tavi, Dylan, my new book best friends, I miss you already. What a fabulous read my Ms. Pippa Grant! The friendship, the spice, the angst was all there and I was LIVING for it. Definitely a must read, and how perfect that it comes out in time to be the best Christmas gift of 2022. Five big ole stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A worthy follow-up to "The One Who Loves You," the first book in the Tickled Pick series. Octavia and Dylan, who were supporting characters in TOWLY, come to the forefront with strong characterizations and a slow path to romance with plenty of bumps in the road. The author fills the book with her usual cast of sharply drawn characters and plenty of shenanigans, and the HEA is well earned. My only caveat is that while the book ostensibly can stand on its own, I strongly suggest reading "The One Who Loves You" first,

I enjoyed the first book in this series, The One Who Loves You, so much that I snatched up this follow-up when it was offered for review and immediately opened my Kindle to read.

Yes, we are back in Tickled Pink with the Lightly family as they work to save their souls and get back their trust funds. Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer and the secret owner of a cocoa farm in Costa Rica. Her public persona is that of a rich, publicity conscious “it” girl who travels the world while posting on TikTok and Instagram. But the real Tavi is a person who gives away her money to worthy causes and has set her sights on building a business with her best friend while creating something of value. But to do that she has to follow GiGi’s rules, get back her trust fund, and get the heck out of Tickled Pink.

Dylan is the local plumber who Tavi can’t seem to stop crushing on. She also can’t look him in the eye after a miscommunication between them shortly after he fixed the hot water heater in the local high school where the Lightlys have been staying. Dylan has a past as a troubled teenager, but now he is the good guy who wants to always do the right thing and be kind to everyone. That includes Tavi, even if he has feelings for someone else.

After reading the first book in the series, I knew there was more to Tavi than her social media followers, or even her family, really knew about. Tavi is already a good person, stuck in the middle of a dysfunctional family, and in an impossible situation. I liked Tavi, being in her head was interesting as she balanced her fake persona with the real her depending on the situation. She and Dylan are mashed together after her grandmother tasks her with making Tickled Pink social media famous to help bring in tourists. She settles on helping the handsome, charming Dylan become a TikTok star.

These two are fun together. Dylan wants to get to know the real Tavi, the one who doesn’t use the word like every other word when talking, who sneaks meat and chocolate into her diet and helps stranded ducks cross the street. That is the Tavi he sees under all the glitter and glam. The relationship between them builds slowly and realistically as they spend so much time together in their social media experiment and their friends-to-lovers romance unfolds beautifully. Tavi isn’t the only one with issues that need to be dealt with before they can find a HEA. I enjoyed Dylan’s journey just as much as Tavi’s.

The Tickled Pink series truly is a romantic comedy, and the secondary characters are a big part of what makes this world so fun. I genuinely like each and every person in this town and look forward to visiting them in each new book. They make these books sparkle and shine with their shenanigans and good-hearted banter. Even the Lively family members are starting to flesh out and become likable.

If you are a fan of romantic comedies with heart and super hot loving, give this series a chance. I think you’ll be surprised at how often you smile and laugh out loud. I look forward to whatever comes next.

Oh my goodness Pippa does it again! I loved meeting the Lightly's and all the other amazing people in Tickled Pink in The One Who Loves You. I was so excited for Tavi's story. Tavi and Dylan are both a broken people who didn't know they needed each other. I cant wait to see what Pippa does next in Tickled Pink.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an emotional journey! There was so much in this book, fear, angst, doubt, self loathing and then there was love, laughter, forgiveness and self love. Tavi and Dylan were such perfect couple. I loved seeing them grow and develop real love and acceptance for who they had been and who they became. Loved seeing the Lightly family finally start working for the changes they all need and finding each other in the process. The people of Tickled Pink are what every small town should be. Hope to see more books in this series.

Happy Reading Lisa 📚

So anytime I can read a Pippa Grant book early I am on top of it. I liked the first in this series. It did take a bit to get into but it made me curious for the second and honestly I loved the characters significantly more than Teague and Phoebe in the first. Also, the last name kept throwing me off. Lightly reminded me too much of Holly Golightly and the lightly family isn’t like Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s at all. I will, Tavi is which is why I enjoyed this one much more than the first.

I absolutely adore Pippa’s books. Her characters, the towns, the romance, just everything in her stories leave you with a huge smile on your face and a lightness in your heart. I know without fail that I will devour a Pippa book cover to cover in one sitting and this book was no different. Tavi and Dylan are downright perfection, and I couldn’t have asked for a better story.

We are back in Tickled Pink Wisconsin with the Lightly family and their grandmothers’ unrealistic demands and irreverent personality. Tavi is the social media star of the Lightly’s she portrays herself as a ditz who only eats vegan foods, no sugar, no carbs, no fun! But in reality, she is the exact opposite of her social media persona. I loved seeing the real Tavi the one who saves ducks and wants chocolate and cheeseburgers. That girl was real, and she was wonderful. She’s fighting an inner battle that I think many women do, she doesn’t feel like she’s good enough. Her family had a lot to do with her feelings of inadequacy. That broke my heart every time she had a moment where she thought she didn’t deserve something, or she wasn’t enough for Dylan. I just wanted to reach into the book and hug her. She doesn’t trust easily due to the world she grew up in, so it takes a lot of time and persistence on Dylan’s part to get her to open up. But every time she does you can see Dylan smiling and basking in the realness that is Tavi.

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, I am obsessed with this man. He has a lot he’s working through regarding his past and reconciling that person with the man he is today. He is just pure delight. I swooned so much while reading this book when he walks into the room swoon. When he pets pebbles swoon. When he gets drunk and only wants tomato’s swoon. You get the picture. He wasn’t all swoony moments though; he gets gruff alpha like on a few occasions and I about melted into a puddle. Give me a man that will fight for you and get all growly and I’ve got my next book boyfriend. But what I loved most was that he saw right through Tavi’s fake persona and dug deeper into who she really is. He knew she was hiding, and he didn’t let up for one minute until she let him in. And the moment she did you could tell he was falling head over heels for her (insert another swoon).

Dylan and Tavi worked so well together. You ever just read characters that you just know fit together so unbelievably well that you couldn’t even imagine it another way? Well, these two are it. The way the allowed the other to just be who they are without expectation, without demands. They listened and accepted without ever making the other feel insufficient. I loved their love.

Pippa always writes stories that make me laugh out loud and fall in love. I have yet to read one that didn’t elicit the warmest and coziest of feelings while reading. Her books are warm blankets and hot coco on a raining day, and I am infatuated with the feeling.

Was so excited to get to visit the world of Tickled Pink again. Tavi and Dylan's story is so satisfying. They learn that embracing who they are, or were, is hard, but in the end it's the only way you can truly be happy. There were many funny moments and times when I teared up. You won't regret reading this book!

Pippa Grant has done it again. Tickled Pink is my new favorite place, with characters so full of character you want to visit and live with them. Rich In Your Love is book #2, following another Lightly sibling and their "quest" to do enough good to get into Heaven (per their Gigi's standards). The people of Tickled Pink make you want to laugh and cry, often at the same time. I can't wait to go back and visit them again.

A delightful second entry into the Tickled Pink Series. Tavi and Dylan are two people looking for someone to see them for who they are and these two get each other. It was wonderful seeing Tavi grow to trust and give love a chance after dealing with her dysfunctional family all these years. And Dylan finally has someone who sees him not as a project but as partner in crime. I loved watching these two fall for each other. I was thrilled to see someone give Gigi a good talking too. I look forward to any other books in this world because the main characters are always fantastic and the side characters the perfect blend of sweet and quirky..

I wasn't sure what to expect with Grant's second trip to Tickled Pink. With the first book, it felt more like Women's Fiction and I struggled to get through it because her voice sounded so different from what I've come to expect from Grant. I was pleasantly surprised with Rich in Your Love because it read like what I'm used to and love from her other books. Tavi was a likable character, and I found myself rooting for her from the start. Her self-doubt was relatable and put me right into the story because I've felt the same way. I did struggle with Dylan's unrequited love arc. It felt a bit rushed to be able to get through his issues and fall for our heroine. I also wanted to know more about his past. It was hinted that he did a lot of horrible things when he was younger, but nothing was explicitly described so I couldn't figure why he was so hard on himself or why he felt he didn't deserve love from anyone. The little the reader is told about the things he did as a youth didn't sound worse than most teenagers' attitudes. There were a few sentences that hinted at a temper, but nothing blatantly obvious as to why he held back from deserving happiness. Other than that, I loved Dylan's character and how he was able to see behind Tavi's mask when even her own family couldn't. Overall, this was a great read and Grant is back on form with Book 2 of her new series. If you love her other books, I recommend reading Rich in Your Love..

It took me a moment to get into the main characters but this book has it all; humor, social issues that are prevalent in todays world, trying to be a better version of yourself and romance. I really ended up enjoying how the characters came full circle from a couple that I wasn't that into at first to a couple of people who had a lot of redeeming qualities and I cared about. I went from wondering if this book was for me to wondering when the next will be out and which character it will involve.

Firstly I would like to thank Pippa's team for accepting my request for this ARC, I am so grateful!

3.75 STARS


- DESCRIPTION

Rich in Your Love is a novel following Octavia "Tavi" Lightly - a bubbly, vegan, sugar-free, health driven social media influencer who seems to be perfect - except almost everything about her is fake. She is hauled over from her secret cacao farm in Costa Rica (that she saved), to a small town in Wisconsin called Tickled Pink, by her grandmother, after she experienced a near death accident and claimed she needed to 'save the souls' of her rich family. Tavi meets a kind, down-to-earth and very attractive plumber called Dylan Wright, who helps Tavi not only with her task assigned by her grandmother, but also in realizing who she really is.


- TAVI

I think that Tavi's internal struggle is so apt for a modern audience - with the realization of the toxicity of social media, body image and self worth. She has a beautiful character growth - learning to love, learning to deserve and be guilt-free, and learning how her past experiences have shaped her. Throughout she broke free from her facade and became who she really is, without the fake Tavi. I loved her independence and perseverance to be independent, her confidence growing in herself to do what she needed/wanted by herself. One thing I also loved was how the other characters respond to her positive growth and her growing out of the shell she hid behind.


- DYLAN

Dylan's growth was evident, but more of something that he's reflecting on rather than it becoming his focus. His challenge was more of a romantic-based change that he had to make, also realizing his self-worth like Tavi. I do love the reflection on Dylan's change from the past and how it isn't the main focal point of his story, and how he recognized his past mistakes and knows that he isn't the person he used to be, and is proud of how far he's become and left it behind.


- TAVI AND DYLAN

The two have (had) a relationship which I loved - the subtle grumpy x sunshine, the difference in social class and wealth but blending together perfectly. Their familial issues were similar but different, their self worth issue each stemming from parents, but in a completely different way. The 'want but can't have' trope gets me every time, and I thought it was very well done in this, the desire was evident. (SLIGHT SPOILER!) I loved, particularly towards the end, how the two encouraged each other to realize their worth, convincing them that they do deserve good things.


- OVERALL

I really did love this book and the spicy scenes were *chef's kiss*, and I think that when this book releases it will be popular, especially with the modern focus on trying to make social media real and genuine, and also the focus on mental health, body image and self worth. I would recommend this book to anyone - thank you so much!

I loved reading Tavi and Dylan’s story. Sweet small town sexy plumber with a history of being the bad boy heathen and the (for appearances sake) bratty- air headed- ex beauty queen influencer falling in love was a great vacation read. Pippa Grant delivers all the feels with funny, sweet, and spicy moments. Hopefully we get to see what Carter is up to in tickled pink next.

Rich in Your Love is the second book in the Tickled Pink series by Pippa Grant and it's an enjoyable slow burn romance that tugs on your heart strings while entertaining you with some crazy town antics.

I absolutely love this book. Everyone knew a Dylan in high school and this gives me hope that they grew up to become wonderful men. Tavi comes to life as well in the second book in the series. All I can say is I want more of Tickled Pink! It is a terrific book.

If you are already a fan of this author, this will be your next purchase. No question.
But - if you are new to this author, the world of Tickled Pink is a great place to start!
(This being book two, I do recommend reading "The One Who Loves You" first,
so this storyline makes the most sense.)

When I had the opportunity to grab this ARC from NetGalley, I jumped at the chance! The first book, set in Tickled Pink (a place I SO wish was real!), was Phoebe (Tavi's sister) and Teague's love story. That was emotional and heartwarming - and I enjoyed it. I was very excited to get back to the Lightly family and the characters in the town.

If you are familiar with this author's numerous other rom-com works, you may be expecting a laugh-out-loud, "can't read this in public because I'll get looks" kind of read. This book is not that. (And that's okay.)

This story has me back in love with all the Tickled Pink 'townspeople', and their quirky ways. Tavi and Dylan's love story isn't what I originally expected. Gigi is still making demands, and we see the lengths Tavi has contorted herself to fit other's expectations. Unfortunately, as this story goes on, we see it all unravel. Family is family, but the Lightly family is frustrating, at best. I welcomed the changes a few of the Lightly characters managed to accomplish. Dylan has a backstory of his own to try to overcome, and it was absolutely delightful to see his connection with Tavi grow through mutual support. They certainly are steamy together, and their connection is almost tangible. His personality is absolutely what we want in a book boyfriend, and I cheered their Happy Ever After.

Things I loved about this book:
Wonderful characters in a sweet small town
A woman trying so hard to accomplish her personal goals
A handsome, kind hearted man who wants to do the right thing, and be happy
Steamy scenes and a sweet love connection
Entertaining situations that frustrated me, made me smile, and warmed my heart

This author has incredible creativity, and routinely crafts worlds of characters that are easy to relate to, cheer for, empathize with, and love. Every book I have enjoyed from this author has given me hours of enjoyment. Her characters stay with me, long after the pages have stopped turning. This one was easy to read, and I was done before I wanted to be.

I strongly recommend reading this in the correct reading order to have the best experience. That said, you can totally read this as a stand-alone if you choose.

I look forward to her next new release.

This was a fabulous sequel to The One Who Loves You!

I loved this book, Ticked Pink is quite possibly one of my favorite small-town settings ever. The entire cast is quirky, snarky, and utterly delightful. Seeing these characters and the town again was so much fun. That said the romance here was everything I didn't know I needed. I was skeptical at first, when we are first introduced to Dylan in this book he is not in a happy romantic headspace and I was afraid it would be difficult for me to find the happiness in his story from there. But boy does Pippa Grant ever pull through and prove my skeptic heart wrong.

Tavi is an excellent character and it was an experience to see the Lightly family through her eyes.

The back and forth, the friendship, the personal growth, the tension and spice. This book hit all the boxes. Love this series, REALLY hope there will be more to come because I'm gonna need a Carter story.

Rich in Your Love is the second installment of the Tickled Pink series. Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer, known for being a fitness junkie and vegan. She showcases herself consistently in a “ditzy” light and doesn’t take the world seriously. In reality, Tavi would love a cheeseburger and could spend her day on her cacao farm building her chocolate empire. When her grandmother forces her to move Tickled Pink, she is forced to deal with everything thrown at her to keep her trust fund for her farm. Dylan Wright, the local bad boy, becomes Tavi’s newest social media project. Dylan is currently trying to get over his best friend, while realizing Tavi is more than what social media thinks she is. As Dylan tries to unravel Tavi’s secrets, Tavi must decide whether love will be enough for her to save her farm?

I forgot how much I enjoy Pippa Grant’s writing style until I read her books again. Just like her previous series, this book is full of great banter between the characters. Tavi has such a personality that I loved seeing her “social media” side, and her normal self. The chemistry between Dylan and Tavi is off the charts good. I loved the family dynamics, and how Tavi and her sister grew closer.

My only dislike towards the book was the resolution for the 3rd act issue felt way too fast, and way too easy. It is a contemporary romance, so I expected a 3rd act issue, but I just felt the build-up towards the issue and how it got resolved was just out of the blue a bit. Still not enough of an issue that I dropped any stars, I think this is a 5-star read for me.

I highly recommend this series to anyone that enjoyed Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey or Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren.
