Overall: 4.5/5
Spice level: 3.5/5
Tropes: sports, he falls first, boss's daughter/boss, single dad

CW: death of parent (off page), grief, misogyny 

Listen, I enjoyed Sloane and Deck's book, but this one with Sariah and Justus? 👏👏👏 chef's kiss 

They had an amazing chemistry from the very beginning. It felt effortless. And who doesn't love a good "he falls first" story?

I think the only thing that I struggled to understand was how he didn't know what she looked like when they initially met or when he initially saw her at the funeral. Even though she wasn't involved in her dad's life much, she was successful in her own right as a beauty line CEO, specifically of a company he said that his daughters love and use products from. 

Aside from that, I loved seeing Sariah navigate a new world of business but being vulnerable enough to ask for help when she needed. Justus was super supportive, and they didn't play games, which I loved. 

Sariah and Justus showed each other so much love and support and had amazing character development. And creating a mentorship where he teaches her about basketball and their specific organization was the perfect way to build their relationship. 

Also, they were so nasty. I loved it! Lol!

I can't wait to see what's next from Kasha Thompson!
