In Hazelwood’s spiciest romance to date, Rue and Eli have undeniable physical chemistry, but their work puts them on opposite sides of a high stakes corporate takeover. We see a break from the typical rom com heroine in Rue, a more emotionally closed off and sarcastic lead and Eli is the perfect person to break down all her walls.
Right from the start, the tone of the book is more dramatic, yet the iconic banter you have come to expect still shines though. With short chapters, rapid-fire dialogue, and heavy doses of denying your feelings and getting someone “out of your system” this book flys by.
Sometimes I wished the conflicts would be more flushed out, but the characters being reticent to share fits the story, and the glory of an Ali Hazelwood book is that they are so delightfully easy and fun to read.
