This book opens very similarly to Act Your Age Eve Brown in the sense that rich main character is put on a time limit to access her inheritance unless she gets a stable job and ends up working at the business of the grumpiest man alive.

Everything else diverges and it grows into its own beautiful story. The chemistry between Jada and Donovan is so cute it hurts. Jada's spunk breaks through Donovan's prickly exterior and as they get to know each other's life stories they really bond. The physical chemistry between the two of them is just chefs kiss.

The ending is a wee bit cheesy but that's really the hallmark of a solidly trope-y romance so no complains. The third act break up is level headed and brief and that's the crowning glory of the book. No pain all gain baybeyyy.
