Olivia Hayle writes some of the most swoon-worthy MCs I've ever read. 

You can tell right away that Gabriel and Connie have a connection, an attraction that's masked by competitiveness and bickering. They have history, which is one of my favorite things about these two. When you start reading the book, they've known each other for years, and have been rivals their entire lives. 

As always, this author really knows how to write good banter! It feels natural and flows easily. It's one of my favorite things about her writing. 

"I didn't like when he riled me up, but I found that I hated it even more when he ignored me." Like? My heart.

The Thompson family home chapters reminded me a lot of The Proposal! Even if the characters were completely different, the images from the movie kept popping up in my head.


This was a fun read, with lovable characters and a rivals to lovers trope. Definitely recommend it and all of Olivia Hayle's books!

Thank you to Olivia Hayle for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
