Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen
4.0
A solid 3.5 stars, rounding up.
Let's just put it out there, I hate the cover on this. 'Naked man' covers really just don't do it for me, and it's the reason it's taken me 18 months since I downloaded it to bring myself to read it, despite extremely solid reviews. I think I dislike it even more having read it, as it really doesn't reflect the character of the male lead. (Also, he's a tech billionaire . . . and in the real world, they look like Elon Musk, not this cover model).
But the story itself was a pile of fun. I love competent romances - where the central couple talk to each other like real adults while they navigate a new relationship, instead of the central conflict coming from a lack of honest conversation. The characters and their motivations were totally believable, and got you on board with their relationship from the outset. On top of that, this was full of slightly nerdy banter.
