I’m teetering on a 3.5 or 4 on this one. There were parts I adored. Grumpy boss office romance? Yes please? Acknowledging creepy behavior of executives and handling it in the way it should? Absolutely. The spice? Definitely good. However there were some things I just couldn’t look past. I’m ok with a grump MMC. However some of Dominic’s actions and words were UNFORGIVABLE in this book. Also, why the cookie cutter ending? Arghhhhh this book didn’t need it. Also, I think the 3rd act conflict needed to happen but I needed more build up to the forgiveness. Also, won’t spoil anything but there was a line during a spicy scene that made me audibly gag. The rest of the spice was great but that one line…I may have nightmares about.

Read this after TWNGO and it felt like the same sex scenes (I’m pretty sure Dominic and Knox have the same sex dialogue) and Dominic and Knox overall just felt like very similar characters. Only difference is their style. Lucy’s books are a fun read, but after reading TWNGO it felt like re reading it with just a different scenery.

this is actually a dnf... but since i got over 350 pages in, i'm counting it!

and this is a very disappointing review. the premise had potential because i do love my office banter-y romances where they dislike each other but can't fight their attractions and they manage to realize, after getting to know each other due to proximity, that the other isn't so bad. i love when the guys are so obsessed with the girl that it frustrates them.

but, and i'm sorry to say, the way this was executed was frustrating. the pacing of the romance, the sudden chemistry, the whiplash in the distrust and the attraction--it felt very off. like there were passages that i liked, but then when you put them with the rest of the book, it feels like a debut. (is it??? i don't think it is??)

and then not to mention, i genuinely thought ally and dominic were in their early to late 20's with how they acted and talked and came off--it was a big turn off that they were actual a decade older than they actually were. and i managed to pretend for a while that that wasn't their age, but at some point, just remembering it was nothing in my frustration to them in general.

the one star is because i did like the sweet and considerate moments dominic had.

By a Thread fulfills all of my standards for a five-star read and more. So much more. IM OBSESSED?? This book had it all, wow!! I was grinning the entire time and did laps around my room.

Ally and Dom!! They had one of the funniest banters I've ever read; I was laughing so hard from their first meeting, and the tension, as well as their nicknames, was the best thing EVER. Their passionate chemistry and witty banter is simply fun as they struggle to keep their mutual attraction at bay in this slow-burn romance. After all, he is her boss.

I liked how he acknowledged his mistakes and went about expressing our precious heroine how much she was loved. I loved when she started connecting everything together and his return trip to the pizza store, and his emails at the end were so genuine and touching. Everything starts to make sense, with not a single detail overlooked or a single question unanswered.

The characters are all excellent, from the main couple to their parents, friends, and coworkers. This author clearly knows how to write grumpy males since I devoured this book as quickly as I devoured Things We Never Got Over, so I'm going to be reading more of her works because I'm obsessed.
