Listen. I saw someone else say they had a hard time imagining Bill as anyone but an old man and I hard agree. The struggle I experienced…
Anywho. This was something. I don’t know why it was ever on my TBR but I’ll certainly never touch it again. The spicy scenes were a little something something though 🔥

This book is major dub-con/non-con nearly cover to cover. If you aren’t specifically looking for dub-con don’t read this book.
The ending came totally out of left field and I really hated it, but the first three quarters of this were awesome.
Fully delivers on all of your workplace dub-con romance desires.

This was the most bass-ackwards courtship she'd ever heard of in her life.
Well, the title doesn't lie - this book goes in reverse, filled with filthy dirty dub-con scenes at the start and petering out to more communicating between the leads at the end. The dual POVs help give some context to Bill's skeevy actions and Christina's 'acceptance' of their so-called game of chicken.

Those were her favorites, she found. The stories where the heroine hated her love interest at the beginning. It was oh-so-satisfying to read, but that shit didn't happen in real life.
Is it for everyone? Definitely not. Does it help to read the sample first? Eh...while it certainly starts balls-to-the-wall in HR hell, I don't think it provides enough context for the bulk of the remaining story.
That being said, I quite enjoyed it!

I think it achieved what it was set out to do, so props to that… this is not Dune but appreciate the author liking Dune. So there’s that lol
I don’t know man, it’s a smutty book and the smut is good. The actual romance plot was severely lacking but that comes with the territory with these books.
