idk how i feel about this, like it was good but wasn’t bad at the same time? love the characters but i wasn’t so obsessed with them honestly.

luca was PERFECT. a man who puts up with your temper, buys you everything you could ever dream of (including a $50,000 coffee machine), tips servers/bartenders well over 20%, and ties you up with his expensive ties. whew. the only reason this wasnt 5 stars for me is because they talk so much about their jobs that it started to bore me just a tiny bit.

I really liked another book by these authors so I wanted to give this series a shot. The premise and setting was great. I liked the workplace aspect. The pacing was absolutely horrible. I felt like I needed to skim most parts of this book, and not because it was a bit of a slow burn. There were plenty of chapters that could’ve been a couple pages. The backstories to each of the MCs were so pointless, and they just didn’t come up at the right times. Near the end I honestly found both the MCs to be a bit insufferable. Maybe the other books in the series are good, I might read them later.

the way luca carried himself in the beginning of the book frustrated me but i learned to love him as he and avery both grew into their characters. their love story is so so sweet. i love it when the men are so utterly whipped while the girl is still battling with her emotions, fully grasping the concept of accepting them. they work so well together and their banter reminds me of me to say the least. i would love someone to argue with over stupid stuff like that, it seems so fun to be able to mess around like that.

Avery is passionate about environmental conservation and has always dreamed of working at the organization founded and led by her idol. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get the job and Luca is the one who has to let her down, becoming Avery’s enemy #1.
A project competing for funding thrusts them back into each others orbit again and the chemistry between Luca and Avery is undeniable.
This was a beautiful story of two people overcoming their own personal challenges and falling in love. It gave me everything I could ask for in a workplace, enemies to lovers (but not really) romance.
What I Loved:

What I Loved:
- Again, the chemistry! This was beautifully written and the tension between Avery and Luca was undeniable.
- I love a He Falls First and Harder trope. Especially when the MMC has no issue with recognizing those feelings and communicating them. Luca never stopped showing up for Avery and showing her how good they could be together.
- I love a man that shows up for his woman’s career goals and makes them a priority.
- I really enjoyed the relationships between Avery and Lily and Luca and Nico. Looking forward to book 2!
- No third act breakup! 🎉
What I Didn’t Love:
The $50,000 coffee machine was so over the top. I love the idea of him spending money just to make her happy, but $50k is actually insane. I may have missed it, but I didn’t really get a sense for where Luca’s money came from. He seemed to spend thousands and thousands on things like coffee, clothes and a beach house. I don’t doubt that he’s well compensated in his current role and I know he clearly made a lot of money in his prior career, it didn’t add up to me. Especially because he gave away the millions he got for working on the oil spill case. His wealth felt more aligned with someone who came from money, but I didn’t get the sense that was the case either.
Overall I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to read the rest in the series!

Me encantooo!😭 Este libro me sorprendió por completo de la mejor forma, Avery y Luca no pudieron ser mejor. Su historia es preciosa y el trabajo que hacen tmbn, en general la historia era muy tierna y con personajes adorables, no había nada de negatividad y eso me gustó mucho. Eran perfectos el uno para el otro y no quería q su historia terminara.
