I love Pierre. A real life Pierre might make me take back I said about dating writer boys, lol. He was layered and you felt his melancholy without him being a tortured soul. His sobriety was handled carefully, as was the topic of addiction itself. The need to rise above what brought you down, but also honor where you came from was a great piece of the writing for me. His family support and his connection to his sister and their parents was beautiful. Logan was smart, confident, and about her business. She did her job with so much awareness--she fit seamlessly into Pierre's life, and I'm glad he was able to convince her she did that in every way, not just professionally. I was happy Pierre got out of his feelings about her quickly--I like that he was mature in that regard, and that he respected her wishes but knew when to push back. Logan's struggles with acceptance from her family were great against this backdrop. It really drove the point home about making your own way in life, and in love.
And Logan and Pierre together being as passionate as they were was an added bonus and also so hot. It was easy because it was right. And everything they tried to do without each other was harder than it needed to be. Perfect.

Learning that they both have trauma stemming from pleasing their parents. Logan’s parents wanting her to be a lawyer to carry out the family legacy. Also, they preferred her to marry someone with a title and money. Pierre’s mother is dead but he still tries to please her. His father was “famous” but led him down the wrong path-alcoholism.
Sienna, Pierre’s “friend” from “back in the day.” She’s invited by him to help with the show. Logan finds out who she really is which caused tension. Later, she’s dismissed from the job for causing chaos. Anthony, a co-worker of theirs, is crushing on Logan. Pierre becomes jealous. After expressing how Sienna and Anthony make them feel; they realize their feelings are deeper. Yet, still not officially together.
A series of events causes them to want to make things work. Will love be enough to keep them together? Or…will things come crashing down? I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read more of her work.

This gets a ‘highly recommend’ from me. I love Pierre so much, I love that the author wrote him imperfect but he was not completely dependent on those around him, he was an active participant in his recovery/healing—love to see it. I enjoyed how much of a boss babe Logan was, she was so professional no matter what and I loved to see her stand up for herself without dropping her crown. The chemistry was COMING off the pages honey! I was over here cheesing like he was talking to me lmao! Also love how supportive Pierre’s family was and how much they supported Logan and Pierre. She held her secret a bit long but its cool, it’s dramatic and we need that. Pierre was sexy as hell, that is all.
Other notes:
Pierre and those grills 🥵
Sienna can STILL catch these hands—til’ this day
I would watch the TV series.
Logan’s parents were a bit raggedy.
