AFTERNOON DELIGHT is a captivating novella about Tim and Sarah, two people who meet and decide to have a no-strings-attached relationship. Tim has a very stressful job, he’s a paramedic and he uses random hookups to ease his stress. Sarah owns a food truck located in a park close to where Tim works. Tim first meets Sarah when she asks him to sample one of her healthy, nutritious meals after she watches him quickly cram unhealthy food into his mouth.

I enjoyed Tim and Sarah’s playful relationship and there’s a lot of chemistry between them from the moment they meet. Tim and Sarah each look at the world differently. Tim does everything fast because he is constantly dealing with death and tragedy and it gives him less time to think about what he witnesses. Sarah likes to take things slowly and she savors everything in life including food. She shows Tim that when he slows down and takes his time he will find more enjoyment, because some things in life are worth waiting for.
