Loved the slow burn and banter between Dom and Ally. The way he took care of her was heartwarming. Dom is an acts of service guy. I also liked the snippets of the friend’s side stories. I will say the epilogue is not worth reading. Could have do without it.

this was so SO long it didn’t need to be 500+ pages. i think i would’ve hated this less if the mcs weren’t 39 and 44 if im this immature at that age just put me out of my misery. the book is well written overall tho i just hated everything else about it.

It’s a cute lighthearted read that’s probably 100 pages too long. But I loved the chemistry between these two. Who doesn’t want a billionaire falling all over themselves for you? It was a relaxing read. A good amount of smut but they make you wait for it. Too slow of a burn for me but I’m quite impatient these days as well.

Wow, so dang cute but also so dang sad. Check the TWs for this one because there is a lot on infinity, sexual assault and harassment, and just general trauma. I loved the banter between Ally and Dominic. Though I will admit the 3rd act break up was dumb af. The side characters were all a blast. A fun read overall. 

Office Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Insta Lust, 3 1/2 🔥

This was my first office romance read and I really enjoyed it!! Ally and Dom showed that love and hate is such a thin line because they are truly enemies to lovers. The tension between them was THICK and the slow burn was worth the wait. I will say when I initially started reading it was giving cringe language (like I was expecting to see “doggo” at one point) but it toned down quick and I enjoyed the book even more every time I picked it up. I will say, one thing about Lucy Score is she loves a male love interest with a dog 😂 (shout out to Brownie)

Another A+ from Lucy Score! I absolutely love her take-no-shit women. 

Ally is definitely a strong woman with a good egg on her shoulders. She stands up for herself and calls Dominic (and others) out on their bullshit. I adored her strength and humor. She felt so real and powerful. 

Dominic, while being an absolute idiot emotionally, was the quiet hero you love in a rom-com. Little actions that are anonymous and heartfelt. He had some baggage that was a major barrier, but he finally opened his eyes and developed. Y'know, your typical third act breakup. 

And the adorable epilogues! My heart was so happy with this one 💕

4.75 stars. This was my first Lucy Score book and I loved it! 

It was so easy to get into from the first page and it didn't go into unnecessary detail. The banter in this was top notch. Honestly some of the best banter that I have read in a long time. I was actually smiling, blushing and laughing out loud at times. Ally and Dominic's chemistry was amazing. Their story as  individuals was good as well.  The buildup of their relationship was really good. I didn't think I was going to like this that much because of how long the book is but it's really worth reading. The side characters were amazing, I liked them a lot too and how much they added to the plot. The only thing was that coming down to the end the conflict seemed kinda rushed but the grovel was great.Also they are 39 and 44 but act like they're in their twenties and I can't get past it. If I ever act like that at that age please slap me lol.  All in all though this book was pretty much  vibes but it was so good, I had fun reading it and I would recommend, especially if you like "The Devil Wears Prada".

oof ally and dominic were so freaking cute. i enjoyed this book a lot!
this that i liked about this book: the characters, the dual pov and the banter and chemistry was chef's kiss, and i personally enjoyed the groveling.
things that i didn't like: a little too long, also felt that the characters didn't act accordingly to their age.
