Rori and Wes were high school sweethearts up until Wes left town abruptly. Rori hasn't seen him in a decade and it's for the best. When he shows up at her office right in the middle of a shirtless dance party offering her firm a contract, she doesn't want to trust him. The contract is way too good to pass up, but can Rori and Wes work together without developping feelings again?
I loved Rori's character. I felt like we didn't get a lot of her in Filthy Fiance (her best friend Celia and Luke's story), but it was enough to intrigue me to read this book. She loved her family dearly and was passionate about every project she took with her firm. Her blatant judgement of her sisters Emma and Blake as "perfect" and "the baby of the family" respectively was a bit annoying. Also, she was a doormat every time Wes was around. I had a lot of trouble coming to terms with Wes as a character. I felt like he was using Rori, lying to her and was acting like a jackass for the first half of the book. When he started to feel more human, I liked him way better. My favorite part was Celia and Luke's wedding. I love that we got to see the Whittaker brothers and their SO again and it made for a great segue into this new set of characters.

OKAY it was like a second chance romance which is automatically in my good graces, the spice was p good but it did have the miscommunication trope HOWEVER the way he resolves it is SO ADORABLE!!

Another fantastic book by Cat Carmine. If you like reading second chance romance books with a well written storyline, than she is one to look into. Rori and Wes have a past of heartbreak but when the chance comes back for them to rekindle what they had and never lost, can they forgive and move on?

Another "oh my God, are you shitting me" book.
The male protagonist needs female protagonist for some reason (nah I don't remember what it was) like there's no one in the world apart from her who can be an option for the job.
So they share a history and as they start working together, they can't keep their hands off each other. And the things go out of hands. Literally.
The shocking reveal escalates the emotional drama and after some fights, they get together.
Did you find anything new or different here?
I don't know why writers even bother to write the same old story over and over again.
Nothing new here.
