Things I liked:

• The banter and jokes
• The honest self-reflection on past relationships
• The fake dating tropes
• The balance of daily struggles and looking on the bright side
• How demanding and forthright Hayes was
• The spicy scenes

Things I wasn't so keen on:

• I'm not sure I really felt the spark until way later, when we were supposed to feel it all along? Even with all the banter, the only thing she seemed to like about Hayes was his attractiveness
• Tali apparently being a ridiculously hot 10/10, but being completely unaware the whole book
• The awful book paralleling her situation

5.0

I laughed so hard that I cried a few times. 
Tali is one of the best sassy bitter mouthy FMC. She is hilarious and gives as good as one gets.
Hayes is that icy distant guy who absolutely needs to be kicked.
Perfect combination.

My only regret is:
What about the beach house??? Because I would have love that they ended there 😍

3.0

It had some good scenes in it that made this not entirely the standard grumpy boss romance book(e.g. one scene that stands out for me is

when he begs for her to let him eat her out.

)

But this is not a realistic love story...bc how love interest acts at the beginning would definitely be harassment at the work place and his behavior is not cute or edgy but he behaves like a douche, even if it was "just pretend" I did not so much enjoy the beginning, I just did not think it worked perfectly for this story, but the rest I did enjoy.

Spice quantity and quality: 2/5 (the only outstanding part is the thing in the spoiler the rest is okay, little bit boring and not that much)

5.0

Tension. Banter. Chemistry. Those are the first three words that come to mind when I think of this book. It had all three of those things in spades. I can't even begin to explain how much fun it was to read Tali and Hayes's romance. This book encompassed the office romance with a side of enemies to lovers in the best, most perfect way. It is right up there with Kate Canterbary's The Wrong Guy for me in books these tropes, and that's saying a lot.  I absolutely loved this book. It's one I would reread.
