4 stars - It was really good
Ravi Tandel and Tristan Jones may not be friendly in the office but a road trip to Seattle for a huge conference quickly changes that. With each passing mile they find themselves falling for each other, but will it last after the conference.
“He didn’t want to be Tristan’s friend; he wanted to be Tristan’s everything.”
I really enjoyed Ravi and Tristan’s story. These two had instant chemistry and all they needed was a push to actually act on it. Ravi was a fun character who is outgoing and charming. He is very spontaneous and I liked seeing him teach Tristan to be more spontaneous. Ravi struggles with their relationship because he fears the fallout of dating a coworker, but he eventually sees that it would be worth it to be with Tristan.
Tristan is an adorably awkward nerd and I loved him. He is someone who needs spreadsheets and organization to handle situations, which I enjoyed. Tristan really comes out of his shell by the end of this book. He makes friends, he admits his gaming prowess, and isn’t afraid to order super sweet coffee in front of anyone. I loved the progression of his character and how he learned to stand up for himself.
Like I said, I really enjoyed these two. They had a lot of hang ups to work though but it was a wonderful journey of growth. Also, I appreciated that while we do get tension between these two and their homophobic parents it wasn’t a long drawn out scene or a repeated scene, which I appreciated. Overall, this was wonderful and I look forward to reading the next book.
