I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: HFN
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: a few open-door spicy scenes
TWs: cheating, emotional abuse, emotional manipulation, homophobia, manipulation, sabotage, stalking
Kinky Content: dirty talk, edging, fingering, first times, nipple play, oral, praise, role playing, sex toys
standalone: yes
final thoughts: this was a cute and angsty pining-from-a-distance story that turns into a one night stand only to find out they are now boss/employee and have to keep their history a secret.
Lots of pining, pushing away, and sneaking around that leads to a third act breakup with groveling and grand gestures.
While It’s marketed as a romcom I think I only laughed one time? Maybe it wasn’t my humor, but it was a good story.
