  • This was a reread, I wasn't sure if I've already read it but confirmed about 30% of the way through.
  • Lots of cringe and weird moments in my opinion.
  • I did find some scenes cute and funny though. The banter was nice but why the fuck did it always have to turn into spicy scenes??
  • Funny so I liked that, but in general, I didn't like the book.
  • Read it quickly since it's a reread and I lowkey already knew everything that was gonna happen and wasn't too into it.

The spicy scenes were worth it but besides that, another “eh” book. It was easy to read and entertaining but not good enough for me to want to read the rest of the books in this series :/

Two words. Angry sex. I really enjoyed this very combative duo. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. By the end, I could see them working together long term. Which is weird considering where they started. Highly recommend this fast read.

Naughty November Continues....

I really enjoyed this book! It was a hate/hate/love relationship. Bennet is an overbearing jerk of a boss and Chloe has a smart mouth that gives every bit of crap back to him. Already has the makings for something fun!
Both are very career driven, and excellent at what they do, but cannot deny their feeling for each other. What starts out as forbidden encounters turns into somewhat as an obsession between them. I loved how those feelings evolved over the course of the book. This was a super hot and steamy read! It was a constant stream of hotness and naughtiness! Most importantly I loved how they got their HEA!

I read that this was written many many (new) moons ago as a type of fan fiction;) I would have never guessed it (especially when I saw what is was based off...nope don't buy it). The publisher made a huge deal about how much editing and rewriting had been done. I believe it!

I read this book years ago and decided to do a reread. Well a re-listen. It was just as good as the first time around. Honestly, there isn’t a big story line here. It’s a lot of sex. A lot. They hate each other, or so they say. But their chemistry is to die for.
