This book was an excellent start to my year. The narrators were perfect and will forever live at the top of my favorites (January LaVoy and Joe Arden). There was a great mix of spice and plot, with fun side characters and it wasn't full of traumas that left me wrecked. I really needed a great book like this.

I started watching the tv show Suits while reading this book, which was an amazing coincidence because this book feels so much like that show. Basically, if you love that show (like I now do), then I know you’ll love this book like I did!
Denise Williams took the classic boss/assistant trope and made it really sweet. It was the perfect second chance romance! I absolutely love when we get to see flashbacks of their first try at love together and then how they actually get together in the present.
The characters were well written and dynamic. Pearl’s journey with the job as an assistant while working through to school to end up heading a company made me proud to watch her story arc throughout these 384pages. I also loved seeing Cord grow into his own at his own company. Together, they made a great team. Plus their great chemistry made the romance great as well!
I also loved the non-binary representation. It was really refreshing to see a character like Tye be so influential to the story. Their mentor-mentee relationship with Cord was honestly adorable! I hope that Cord takes them to California.
Thank you so so much to Denise Williams for sending me a copy of this book to read for the Spicy Group (iykyk)!
