This was such a great summer read! A workplace rivals/enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity AND fake dating romance!!! It done really well!
Aaron is of course ginormous and an absolute grumpy Adonis! I enjoyed the chemistry between him and Lina. Lina was also a great character - she had a few funny moments and despite fake dating tropes always being a bit ridiculous, I found her reasoning actually quite believable. The story was excellent, however the final two chapters were a bit ick-inducing for me. They were too lovey dovey, and the insta-love vibe was a bit unbelievable for me.
The spice was really good as well...!
