theemangomami's review against another edition

My loan expired and I haven’t renewed it after 2 months and after sitting down one day it hit me, d*mn this book did not really do it for me. Yes, this book is supposed to be smutty but the storyline barely any substance and I’ve read fan fiction that had me more hot and bothered than this book.

the first sex scene wasn’t even 20 pgs in. No sexual tension or real romantic buildup, so it basically seemed to come out of the blue. Kinda like opening a first message on a dating app and it being a d*ck pic. After the third-ish sex scene I kinda just started skimming past them to try and follow the paper thin plot which just irked me due to the constant flip flopping between “I hate him/her” and “I want to jump into the deep end w/ this one” with the two main characters. Also the pivot from gage to love was wildly unrealistic which made it a little harder to read.

A saucy little office romance using the “enemies to lovers” troupe, will not disappoint in the imagination department.
<spoilers>
Chole has worked hard to get where she is at her firm and she’s very close to getting her MBA. But, suddenly, she finds herself in a compromising position with her boss. Yes, she should tell him no… but how can she when he looks that good and is that hard?? >
Don’t take that book too seriously and you will have fun with it.
