4.5

Couple smexy scenes word choices that just made me go *gag* haha! But not enough to make me detract too much from my rating. This was a great ride that had some moments that I really couldn't have anticipated, and I appreciate that.

It was lighthearted, but also had some good tension moments and made my tummy churn with angst a number a times!

(Also, cheating with the dates I read this book. I read it in a single day okay? Yes, I read 3 pages the night before and yes, I finished reading the epilogue at 12:05 AM on May 12th. I read the *actual* book on the 11th so kiss my aaaaaaaa. xx)

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.

First things first, I literally devoured this book! It was recommended to me via booktok and omg so good. I was a little hesitant at first given so many of the bad reviews, but I actually enjoyed the story. There’s not very many romance books out there about folks in their 40s finding love.

Both Dominic and Allie are very likable, but also have some pretty significant baggage. I think that they are an accurate portrayal of what people in their 40s are like. I think, falling in love after a certain amount of time with unresolved baggage comes with like dramatic, childish antics. However I really love the story I thought it was well done. I love the banter back-and-forth between Ally and literally anybody. I like the idea of an office romance that’s like forbidden, but like everybody involved to eat the forbidden fruit. The spicy scenes in this book to die for even when they were worlds apart. I felt like the sexual tension buildup was done so beautifully in this book, and like painstakingly slow, where once it finally got to the time it was like finally!! 😂 anyways I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I read it in like less than 24 hours. I thought the book was going to be over, but I like it kind of wrapped up nicely towards the end. Especially with the loose end of Dominic’s father.

The book was by no means perfect, but it was highly enjoyable.

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.
