Loved the slow burn and banter between Dom and Ally. The way he took care of her was heartwarming. Dom is an acts of service guy. I also liked the snippets of the friend’s side stories. I will say the epilogue is not worth reading. Could have do without it.

this was so SO long it didn’t need to be 500+ pages. i think i would’ve hated this less if the mcs weren’t 39 and 44 if im this immature at that age just put me out of my misery. the book is well written overall tho i just hated everything else about it.

This was my first office romance read and I really enjoyed it!! Ally and Dom showed that love and hate is such a thin line because they are truly enemies to lovers. The tension between them was THICK and the slow burn was worth the wait. I will say when I initially started reading it was giving cringe language (like I was expecting to see “doggo” at one point) but it toned down quick and I enjoyed the book even more every time I picked it up. I will say, one thing about Lucy Score is she loves a male love interest with a dog 😂 (shout out to Brownie)

dwinn5's review against another edition

emotional funny tense medium-paced

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed by this book. It was hard for me to like Dominic right from the beginning (I can’t stand people who are rude to servers) and it basically never got better. I felt bad for him and I understood his trauma, but he never learned the lesson that every other character was literally screaming at him the entire book: you can’t use your trauma as an excuse to treat other people terribly.

He’s manipulative and controlling even when he’s supposed to be winning her back and he never listens to her. She spends the whole book telling him that she doesn’t want his money and it’s very clear that she wants emotional support, so what does he do? Throws money at every problem (despite her explicitly telling him not to), ices her out at every chance he gets, and makes decisions for her like some kind of patronizing a-hole.

I like Ally and I genuinely think she deserves better, I basically wasn’t rooting for them at all by the end.
