THE FEELS.

I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time and it flat out DELIVERED. I loved it so much.
The main characters, Olivia and Lachlan had the best chemistry. I could feel the heat from miles away. Some fantastic banter intermixed with a bit of an enemies to lovers vibe AND THEN you throw in marriage of convenience?? SOLD. Perfect blend.
I love the slow build between them. The burn is long and low and really allowed both characters to come to turn with the past grievances and where they are now. I LOVED all of the tiny little moments. I was going to combust from the heat of the kissing scenes. Good heavens, closed door romances can still bring it the steam y’all.
It took Olivia a little longer than I hoped for to come around to her work issues BUT I liked how that ended up playing into the third act. Yes, there’s a third act conflict, and you might be surprised but it didn’t phase me much. I was here for the emotions, the need for growth and the separation that had to occur.
Loved this book. Read it.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: very little
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: poor workplace situations (abuse of power), parental neglect
