I am so glad I found Sophie Andrews through Twitter a few months ago, because I’ve since read her last three releases, and I have absolutely loved them all!
Dean wasn’t as golden retriever as previous hero’s, however I still loved him (even though initially I was unsure due to his stance on eggnog). Even when he and Taylor hated each other, Dean did something for her, that made me fall in love with him!
Taylor had her walls up, but once Dean broke them down, these two were so good together - and I’m usually pretty wary of love interests who are gunning for the same promotion.
Tangled Ambition certainly hits on some heavier topics, but is also an enjoyable, slow burn but steamy read.

This is by far one of my new favorite books.
Taylor and Dean are a perfect match for each other.
Taylor Novak is a badass lawyer who will knock anyone down for getting in her way. Dean is a cinnamon roll, guitar playing feminist. (But also a really fvcking good lawyer) When Taylor met Dean in law school, she was annoyed at his seemingly non-caring attitude and his inability to arrive on time or turn anything in until the last minute. Even though these two fought like cats thrown together in a bath, this someone how makes them each a better person and more motivated in their career. Now they’re working in the same office fighting for the same promotion. Taylor has always been the rock for her family, being there for her sister anytime she calls. Now, she’ll need someone to cover her when she needs help.
“My grandmother calls me the rock. I’ve been the steady, unmovable force in my family for so long, I’m not sure I know how to be anything else.”
“Paper covers rock”
“What”
“In rock, paper, scissors, paper covers rock. It’s not unbeatable.”
“You might be a rock, but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to withstand everything. You’re strong—really strong—but sometimes you get beat by being covered with paper.”
“And let me guess—in this analogy, you’re the paper.”
I am positive you will be blown away by this enemies->frenemies->lovers book. Plus there is so top tier smut along the way.
“Don’t be such a jackass”
“Get on your knees and ask nicely, and maybe I won’t be. Or be a brat and see where that gets you. Back to your bed, with your p*ssy still throbbing with need. You want it? Get on your knees and crawl to me”
CRAWL TO ME- like yes please sign me up.
