DNF. I’m not rating this book because I just couldn’t get into it. I just wasn’t interested in the insta lust and non stop in your face sexual attraction

What a wonderful read and a debut novel from this author!
I absolutely adored PJ and Ari, from the partnership, friendship to the relationship.
Being a plus size corporate woman in STEM I can completely relate to Ari and the criticism often faced in that world.
I love the character building and how everything all tied together towards the end.
Not only am I plus sized woman in the corporate world, I’m also 41 and officially now dreaming and praying for my PJ!

I loved this book! Chemistry was amazing between Ari and Porter.
Ari James has moved back home to Atlanta to take a new job at an architectural firm after dating a coworker at her last firm went horribly wrong. Because of this, Ari is very guarded and has sworn off getting involved with coworkers. On her first day, Ari meets the handsome Porter Harrison. The book is written from both of their points of view and we see that Porter and Ari immediately fall for one another but try to fight it. They go through a few twists and turns, ups and downs, but eventually end up together.
I liked the Black representation in this book. Ari, Porter, and their friends went to HBCUs. Their parents were Black, their friends were Black, the firm they worked at was Black. I also liked that the main characters were older instead of the typical twenty somethings.
I understand self-preservation and all but I did not like the way that Ari treated Porter sometimes. Ari initially tried to treat Porter like a friend with benefits and she didn’t always communicate properly like leaving the firm without telling him and trying to leave for Spain without telling him. That’s not romance or love, especially for a 40 year old woman. I also thought that some things were so over the top to the point that they were just corny.. like Greer.
Overall, a fun and quick romance read.
Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press & Carina Adores (Harlequin) for the e-ARC!
