How Freaking Romantic by Emily Harding

4.0

---

Beatrice is known for being a fiesty lawyer so when her best friend gets divorced, she has no qualms marching into the opposing lawyer's office to tell them exactly what she thinks about the situation. Unfortunately, days later that same lawyer turns out to be a new hire at her NYU Law office. Slowly Beatrice's hatred toward Nathan turns to respect and more until secrets about her friends divorce force her to choose between their happily-ever-after and her own.

I rarely read romances but I gobbled How Freaking Romantic up in one sitting. Frankly, I absolutely adored the characters. Bea had a fiesty hard outer shell that concealed a delicate heart. Nate was a great balance to Bea - pushing her buttons, taking her spikiness in stride, and always compassionate. The acerbic dialogue between them was engaging and the side characters balanced the story just right. Overall, How Freaking Romantic was a fun light-hearted enemies-to-lovers romance.
