jonkerkat 's review for:
The Casanova
by T.L. Swan
Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
3/5 stars
Elliot and Kate’s story was intriguing and sexy. I enjoyed the office romance and enemies to lovers trope.
I enjoyed that Kate didn’t take his crap and was willing to stand up to him. Elliot was the typical CEO with unreasonable expectations in certain instances. Their banter was fun and witty in the office. I would have liked to see their relationship progress more at work.
I had a hard time realizing work Elliot was the same person as vacation Elliot. During work Elliot was super short, callous and rude. Outside of work we saw none of those traits unless he was throwing a temper tantrum (which seemed to mostly happen at work).
The other issue for me was that Kate went from an independent main character to a love sick puppy in just a few chapters. She seemed to lose her backbone almost instantly. Which was annoying. She did get it back in the end.
I would have liked to see the chemistry between them a little more before they were suddenly together. I think that would have helped the hate to love relationship feel not so rushed.
Overall I enjoyed the book. It was a fun romance read
