*screams in cinnamon roll*
I said Elena Armas wrote the perfect office romance. Now here she is having written the perfect cinnamon roll, slow burn, fake dating romance.
Lucas... oh Lucas. A cinnamon roll if ever I read one. So soft on Rosie and gentle with her that my heart was soaring with every single interaction. They were so unbelievably freaking precious. I just can't. I am in love with them both.
I completely lost awareness that this was unfolding over a short period of time because EA managed to put together them getting to know each other in such an efficient (that word sounds so boring but ykwim π€£) and without anything left out or any rushing through the story.
Slow burns always get me. The tension and anticipation is just *chef's kiss*. This has spice, but I wouldn't class it as a spicy book, but the sexual tension was off the charts regardless πππ I was SO invested in two fictional humans that it bordered on unhealthy π€£
I'm mortified it took me so long to getting round to reading this, but it was 10/10 worth it!!!
