“You know chérie, a heart beats fast-you can change your mind fast too, from one second to the other, or in a heartbeat as people say. Sometimes you just need to listen to it.”

This follows Olivia 26 and Lucas 27. Olivia is a lingerie designer for a well-known company that has a past with a toxic ex and struggles to trust. Lucas is in town for a few weeks for work and is in the same apartment complex and they have a meet cute moment in the elevator that changes everything. Can Olivia trust again and will Lucas reveal who he is? 

I thought this was brilliant. Tennis was my whole life growing up and the Wimbledon chapters had me smiling. I love all the characters even the best friends that support her. Olivia may struggle with letting people in but what she went through with flashbacks to a toxic past relationship and the representation of DV, to what she is struggling with now I appreciated. As someone who comes from a family of DV, I could only imagine the struggles she went through to keep herself safe. Loved Olivia's character a lot. Lucas is a listener, and attentive and shows her what love should be like. Always putting her first and being a gentleman. I understood why he hid who he was. This was a feel-good read that made you smile and fall in love with both main characters. The flirty spice with a confident FMC  in lingerie to tease or surprise Lucas was delicious. It was a fast-paced relationship but it didn’t feel fast-paced at all. 
I will be getting a physical copy for my shelves! 
Just read it!
