Tavi Lightly has a secret life outside of Instagram and New York City. She has bought a run down Cacao bean farm and has been making small batch chocolates to help save a community from "big company strip mining". When her grandmother demands she show up in Tickled Pink to save her soul, or be cut off from her trust fund, she realizes she has no choice. Much as she hates be beholden to her family, she needs the money to help the people in her secret life. Thus she assumes the Instagram persona of the ditzy, airheaded, vegan fitness guru that everyone expects her to be and arrives in Tickled Pink.
Dylan is Tickled Pink's small town plumber. He's been carrying a torch for "the one who got away", hoping she would realize the errors of her ways and come back to him. When he finally realizes that is never going to happen, he opens his eyes and looks around him. What he SEES is Tavi Lightly. Not the persona she puts on, the the real person, who sometimes slips out, when she thinks other people aren't looking at her. He becomes curious to at "What Tavi Lightly is really made of".
This book is about two people who are making adjustments to what is really going on around them. Tavi has spent a lifetime with emotional abuse and putdowns and does not see the beautiful, smart, generous person she really is. Dylan claims he has gotten over his past, but is afraid that people are always judging him for the person he WAS, not who he his today.
This story had some of the best one line zingers that I have ever read. Please do not read this book, while eating. I almost chocked, like Estelle, just no near death experience. It also had some fantastic life lessons and swoony moments.
In short, this book checked off all the marks of a perfect Rom-Com.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Five fantastic, laugh out loud, heartfelt stars! I loved this book so much that I cannot write a review without potentially giving away treasures from this story! Tavi’s and Dylan’s story made me fall in love with Tickled Pink and its residents. PLEASE don’t let this be the last Tickled Pink story! I want Carter’s! And Lola’s! And Naomi’s! Maybe even Sam’s! I NEED MORE OF THIS WORLD!!! Bless you forever and ever Pippa Grant!

Rich in Your Love by Pippa Grant is the second book in the Tickled Pink Series. This is Tavi and Dylan‘s story.
 
Tavi is a social media influencer who comes from a rich family. Her passion is the cocoa farm she bought in Costa Rica, but when her family demands for her to come back, she must put it on hold. Back in the US she is forced to be with her family in a Wisconsin small town and work with the plumber Dylan as a charity project. Dylan is a former bad boy, and their story is an opposite attracts one.
 
I picked this book up because the blurb sounded interesting to me, but sadly it was not it. A lot of scenes were overly sexual in a cringy way, while others were just weird. Like the one where they were pulling chicken parts out of a toilet. I don’t know if that’s supposed to be funny, but it was just disgusting. The conversations were just random, and her grandmother is like an evil witch and I hated her. The romance was as superficial as all the characters and I didn’t really feel their relationship, which focused more on the physical aspect.
 
Overall, this book just wasn’t for me. 2 stars.

When I started Rich in Your Love, I was in a bit of a book slump. Pippa Grant pulled me out of my slump with this book. It was so much fun and a great addition to the series.

Tavi was an interesting character. In public she was pretending to be who she was expected to be by her family, the town, and her followers. She had a plan to escape her fake facade but being stuck in Tickled Pink threw a wrench in her plans. It was fun to see her fake versus real personas. I loved that Dylan could see beyond the front Tavi put on. 

Dylan was almost mysterious. He had a bad boy past that was constantly being alluded to and I wanted to know what horrible things he had done. His crush on his married best friend made me sad for both of them. I was curious to find out how that whole situation would play out with Tavi being the obvious love interest in this one. I liked this guy a lot for simply seeing who Tavi really was from the start.

Tavi and Dylan were a big mess. The attraction and feelings they had for each other were complicated. That could have made this romance heavy, but Grant kept things on the lighter side, which I appreciated. I loved how these two figured things out. Their personalities and lives fit together in the best ways.

In addition to the fun that was Tavi and Dylan, there were so many great moments in the town of Tickled Pink. The cooky characters helped make the couple and town shine. I laughed a bunch while reading this book.

Overall, this was a great read. It was upbeat and fun. It was exactly why I've come to love Pippa Grant's books.

Great book by a new to me author! I will definitely be going through previous books from her now! I can't wait to see what comes next!

I loved this instalment of the tickled pink series. I loved it more than the first. I loved that neither main character needed to give up anything for the happily ever after to work. I am still hoping for carters book.

Pippa Grant delivers again with her 2nd book in the Tickled Pink series. Tavi is nothing like her public persona and Ms, Grant delivers a heroine who is most of us, someone who is deeper than she is given credit for and who needs to believe in herself. Dylan Wright is always atoning for his past mistakes and needs to realize he is so much more than his past. Together Tavi and Dylan create a great team, each making the other realize they are so much more than they give themselves credit for. Chocolates, laughs, and love. Another terrific book from Pippa Grant.

So good!
I absolutely loved everything about this book! From the characters and their banter, to the totally unique storyline this book was such a joy to read.

This was fabulous! Tavi and Dylan were fantastic, Tickled Pink made me want to go to Wisconsin, and the writing completely sucked me in. I haven't read the previous book, but I loved this one!

Rich in Your Love is the second book in the Tickled Pink Series. We met both Tavi (Lightly) and Dylan, TP's plumber, in the previous book.

Tavi and her family have been summoned to Tickled Pink to "save their souls" by their grandmother (Estelle Lightly). Her and her siblings' trust funds have been frozen until Estelle has agreed that they have been redeemed.

Tavi was my favorite side character in the first book, so I was excited to hear her story. Everything I thought about her was completely wrong. Tavi has been living under this social media persona for her entire life, but low and behold, that is not like the real Tavi at all. The real Tavi eats cheeseburgers and chocolates and has owned a cacao farm for three years trying to build up her chocolate business with the only person who really knows her, her best friend Naomi.

By being summoned to Tickled Pink, the trust fund that she was using to fund the cacao farm until they were able to start up the business, has been frozen. So she is in dire need to "save her soul" as quickly as possible to save the farm and the jobs of those working for her. I really loved this side of Tavi and seeing how selfless she really was! Since her whole persona that she shows to the world is a spoiled rich girl.

Dylan has lived in Tickled Pink for his entire life - so all of the locals know his business. When he was younger, he was troubled and caused a heaping of trouble. He has come a far way from the troubled kid he used to be. In the back of his mind, he is always worried that people still see that side of him. That is, until Tavi comes along. She has no idea about his past and once he realizes that he isn't actually in love with his best friend, he allows himself to feel something for her.

I really liked their relationship! I loved how they brought out each others true selves when they weren't really able to do that around anyone else. I loved how Dylan was SO supportive of Tavi and what she was doing!

When Tavi needs to make a decision on how to move forward with her life and the farm, he resorts back to her old ways in order to protect Dylan, which doesn't go over well with him.

I loved how their story ended up and how they got their HEA!! I wasn't a huge fan of the first book in the series, but I really really loved this story of Dylan and Tavi.

Tickled Pink, Wisconsin.
The town that was on the map years ago due to a movie filmed there. Over time, that fame faded and the locals settled into life in their quaint town.

Enter Estelle Lightly on quest to make sure her family will earn their way through the Pearly Gates after she has a “near death” experience. In the first book in this series, her granddaughter Phoebe, whose focus is taking over the family company, learns that life is meant to be living with the one who loves you.

In this story, granddaughter 2, Octavia “Tavi” Lightly has been ordered to Tickled Pink. The consequence of not following Gigi’s orders is dire for Tavi. She’s always felt like she was never good enough. Her mother continually compared her to Phoebe…from the flightiness of her personality and the potential ounce that could be added to her weight if she didn’t watch what she put in her mouth. Tavi is a social influencer, hawking a vegan lifestyle, pimping her mother’s handbag line, as well as whatever else comes her way. Her world is full of people you can’t trust, finding dirt on others so you can have something to hold over their heads, and a thin veneer that covers how fake of it all is.

Dylan Wright is Tickled Pink’s plumber and met Tavi when he fixed the school building’s plumbing so they had hot water. Tavi made him an offer that he declined. Dylan said he was “involved” with someone and when you find out what that means, well, it’s a bit surprising.

Tavi makes Dylan her project to help satisfy what Gigi wants her to do. Tavi chooses to make Dylan a Tik Tok account and have him share “How Tos” so people can fix simple household plumbing issues. Tavi and Dylan start sharing their more private thoughts with each other and a friendship of sorts develops. Dylan wants to solve the puzzle that is Tavi Lightly.

This story shared a great message about loving who you are and not letting others drag you down. Tavi and Dylan are as enchanting as Phoebe and Teague. Their dynamic and how they believe in and support each other makes a wonderful journey. Of course, there are a few wrenches thrown out there to mess things up in bits, but this is an HEA, as expected.

If you want to take a journey that makes you laugh, may make some people cry, all while wanting to kick Gigi in her tush…come visit Tickled Pink. It’s a lovely place with wonderful people.

Absolutely loved Tavi and Dylan’s story. The characters and their flaws and insecurities were relatable and so well developed. They make you laugh, cry and cheer for them. I loved all the other characters throughout the town Tickled Pink. Can’t wait for more😍

Pippa Grant is a queen of rom-coms... who else could pull off creating a world with a town like Tickled Pink, Wisconsin with a family as dysfunctional as the Lightlys?

4.5 ⭐

Rich in Your Love is the second book in Pippa's Tickled Pink series. One of the things I love about Pippa's writing is that she can create these vast and intricately interesting yet quirky towns that are kind of endearing with the hodgepodge of characters that live there- so with that being said it also makes it a little harder to see a book in one of her series as a true stand alone because they are so interconnected, so I do recommend reading the first book- The One Who Loves You- before starting this one. But when her books are so delightful it's hard to not want to read them all anyway!

Tavi and Dylan's story was so good! On the surface these two didn't seem like they would become anything- Octavia Lightly was a ditzy social media influencer that only cared about her trust fund while Dylan Wright was the nice guy small town plumber that was in love with his unavailable best friend and atoning for the wrongs of his bad boy ways from his youth. But the thing that actually helped solidify their connection was the secrets they both were keeping from the world but felt connected enough to share with each other.

This story is a beautiful slow burn. Tavi and Dylan both are attracted to each other from the start but they hold back on that attraction and form their unlikely friendship. The tensions between them slowly build along with their sweet friendship creating such a perfect build up that when they finally reach that tipping point I felt the relief with them while still being unsure of what was to come. With the crazy demands of Tavi's Gigi in her quest to save the souls of her family there are so many LOL moments paired with all the heart clenching moments of these two who deserve but are afraid and feel unworthy of love.

Dylan and Tavi really have a pretty limited drama story which makes is just a fun escape with some sweet swoony moments. I can't wait for more Tickled Pink- I want to know more about Carter and watch as he finds his muse and calling!

As usual, Pippa delivers another great book. I loved another visit to Tickled Pink- Tavi and Dylan were so much fun.

First off I love this author and have read almost all her books. However, I had trouble getting into this book and found myself taking breaks to read others instead. The heroine’s feelings about herself and her worries for her farm were super repetitive. I felt a lot could have been cut out. The hero is certainly lovable but they could have delved dipper into his redemption when he was young. Regardless, I will always read this author and I do enjoy her quirky humor.

These two were a mix of secrets. Their relationship was built around a lie but they fell hard without realizing it. They protected each other from gossip because they knew what their hearts wanted. Loved how it all wrapped up and came together!

I adored this book. It has the laughs, the chemistry, and is a perfect read. I love Pippas writing and the way she brings her characters to life. This series makes me want to head to Tickled Pink! Loved this book and cannot wait for the next in the series.


It goes to show never judge a book by its cover, or a person.
Tavi Lightly a seemingly spoiled airhead who has mom issues. And a grandmother who is hell bent on saving her from a horrible demise.
Dylan Wright is a reformed bad boy who is so hung up on the crush of his bf that he can't see what's right in front of him.

Tavi Lightly to the world is a sugar free, carb free, fat free, influencer. In reality she's out to save the cacao farm she bought, chocolate is her passion. In order to save it she needs her trust fund - Grandma Lightly has control and the only way to wrestle control is to do charity work. Tinkled Pink here we come.
Her first mission is Dylan Wright. Making him dateable again thru social media and making him (and subsequently the town) more popular is her goal. However, the more time she spends with him her new goal ends up being how not to fall in love.

Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer, known for being a fitness junkie and vegan. She has a very lackadaisical persona, that is out for just the next good time. That is not who Tavi is at all. She would love nothing more than to smash a cheeseburger and her true passion is her cacao farm. To Fund her farm she must head to Tickle Pink, WI at her grandmother’s insistence.
Dylan Wright is the local bad boy. He becomes Tavi’s newest social media project. It does not take Dylan long to realize that Tavi is more than what social media thinks she is.
After reading this book and the first book in the serious I can officially say I don’t think that Pippa Grant’s writing style is for me. Tavi has such a personality but she was so pigeon hole that it was difficult for her to move past it. The chemistry between Dylan and Tavi was luke warm at best. I felt like Gigi is mean and could have been so much more. The one bright spot was the 2 sisters seem to be growing closer
The resolution in the 3rd act was resolved very quickly and too easily.
I think if you are looking for a tamer version of Pippa Grant this might be a book to try.. It wanted more hijinks and fun.

Tavi and Dylan fall in love in book two set in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin. Their story is told in first person from an alternating dual POV.
I was looking forward to Tavi’s story so much after reading book one. It does not disappoint. There is so much more to Tavi than the persona the public sees in her life as an influencer. I adore that she is curvy, funny, and driven. I love that her sweet exterior holds a lion. Dylan is a good guy who must come to terms with a future that is different from what he thought it was going to be. I love that he gets to know Tavi and sees the real her under the facade. I really enjoyed his attraction to her and how he tries to fight it.
They form a friendship that quickly becomes a fling. I love when it becomes more than that and they find their forever. I really enjoyed how they shared an understanding of being able to overcome past mistakes to become the people they want to be in the world. They both have beautiful souls and are perfect for each other.
Tickled Pink provides a quirky small-town backdrop for the comedy, and the family dynamics are a lot of fun as they really learn more about each other. This was a light-hearted and fun rom-com that I really enjoyed.

4 stars

I’ve been wanting to read more books by Pippa Grant so this came into my kindle at the perfect time!!

I love to discover authors that I know will put a smile on my face with each book and make me laugh the whole time! This book definitely did that, it was a rom com for sure!

Pippa Grant reminds me a lot of Lucy Score. I love both of their books and they always put me in a happy mood!

This book was the second in the Tickled Pink series, and I really enjoyed the first book of the series and enjoyed this one too! It was fun to see the gang again! This book focused on Dylan the plumber and Tavi, the family member who has to fake her way through life in order to be who she really is.

I love the love that blossomed between the characters! Even though I’m not a fan of an MC having hangups on a past relationship for more than half of the book, I liked this book either way!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the earc in return for an honest review.
