Engaging the Office Enemy
by Kristin Canary
Reader’s Notes:
– this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone
– this is told from Alexis’s point of view
– characters deal with cheating, secret family, and broken trust (past events/people)
– someone close to a main character (not seen) has a pill addiction
Review:
Is it bad that of the three of Kristin’s books I’ve read so far that I can’t pick a favorite between this one and Belonging With Her Best Friend? (Then again, they do feature my two favorite tropes -enemies to more for this one and best friends to more for the other one- that I keep going back and forth between so I guess it makes sense!) Engaging the Office Enemy was so entertaining and funny, I loved every second of it! I loved seeing more of the best friend group of ladies and how they supported and pushed each other to be better versions of themselves (even if it meant doing a last minute change of packed clothing without Alexis’s prior knowledge). I also liked getting to meet Alexis’s sister and hearing that we’ll get to read her story next! Some of my favorite things/scenes from this story included: Dax & Alexis’s bantering (before and after they start a fake relationship), the clothing swap, dancing, hanging out by the pool, snorkeling, their nicknames for each other, the way Dax looked out for Alexis when he knew something was wrong, and the post kiss events.
Alexis is fed up with Dax. Between their boss (who is also Dax’s uncle) giving Dax all the best clients and Dax’s fake-feeling personality in the workplace (how can anyone be that easy-going?) she just wants him gone. So when Dax asks Alexis to stand in as his fiancé for an interview for another company, she agrees. Especially when he sweetens the pot by agreeing to give her any three of his clients that she wants, whether he gets the other job or not. It’s only one time, should be easy, right?
What neither of them expected was for the interview to be extended into a week-long cruise that requires them both to attend. As an engaged couple. A very in love engaged couple that will be spending time around people all week long that will expect to see evidence of their love. Alexis isn’t thrilled with the idea, but is game to try anything to get Dax out of her hair. That is until she learns more about Dax over their vacation and begins to fall for him. Can Alexis open up her heart with the risk of him not feeling the same?
