Where this contemporary workplace romance really succeeded for me was in its portrayal of urban Indian life, thoughtful look at the issues they face, and examination of the family dynamics between Rayanne and her grandfather. I'm also honestly just delighted that this is out there, since I haven't previously read any romances featuring Native characters by Native authors. The romance itself is a little underdeveloped--I liked Rayanne and Henry individually and they had some cute moments together but I never felt like the chemistry between them was electric and wanted some more of the right details to show why they fall for each other and why they're meant to be.
