This was such a sweet lovers to “enemies” to colleagues to friends back to lovers romance with such depth and tenderness; I’m so glad I picked this up!
Lucy and Tanner King both have a strained relationship with their families. Lucy has been the carer and provider for both her mum and younger brother since their dad left, with their mum now being rather manipulative and unpredictable. Tanner’s father, the CEO of the family company, has always made him feel like nothing he does is good enough. I loved that through this story, both Tanner and Lucy are so supportive of one another through these issues.
There were so many cute moments in here and definitely some steamy scenes. I loved the queer and diverse cast of characters as well as the fact this story challenged gender stereotypes and more sexist views; Tanner is gentle and caring whereas Lucy is the provider for her family. There is also some fab period positivity which we love to see.
There was so much more to this story than I expected but it was also such a great romance. This is part of a series, with each book about a different member of the King family, but you can read them as standalones (this is the second in the series but I haven’t read the first and it didn’t hinder my experience). This book ends with an incident that sets up the next book which I would be interested in picking up!
