It's Just Business by Willow Winters, Lauren Landish
5.0
When Willow and Lauren collab, you always know the book is going to be amazing, and spicy as all hell. So, of course, this is true with the newest book. I have read all of Willow's books, and am honoured to be an ARC reader for her.
Raven is a young, up and coming business graduate, who has her sights set on working in the Financial District. She meets the person, whose business she wants to work for, Dylan. But, prior to that, she as to endure the breakdown of her relationship by her boyfriend, Evan. This is witnessed from another table by Dylan, and he is both intrigued and curious about Raven, given the tortured history he, himself, has had at the hands of Evan. Because of this, Dylan is intrigued with how Raven handles herself. He, although impressed with Raven and her qualifications, is not willing to employ her, but suggests they attend a social gathering together, so she can make business connections elsewhere.
The connections between Raven and Dylan is palpable, and initially, although it is just business, it becomes so so much more. Raven has so much self doubt about herself, thanks to Evan, and is adamant that she wants to get a job, and work her way up, on her own merit. But, there is a nastiness that feels compelled to undermine her, but they underestimate her. How this story played out, I loved, and the relationship between Raven and Dylan, although may look from the outside as a power imbalance, is anything but. This was well written, and showcased the strength of a woman determined to prove her worth, despite the obstacles and vitriol from a bitter ex. Highly recommend.
