Note: I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

From the first chapter, I was hooked. Sticking your foot in your mouth on national television to the extreme that Brynn does in the first few pages is enough to give secondhand anxiety. I was eagerly waiting for what would come next!

Sebastion, who I was curious about from his first chapter, took me a bit longer to want to know. But as the banter between him and Brynn grew from containing animosity to something like friendship, I started to fall for him as well. 

A lovely story with a cute main couple, I easily rate this book a 4.5/5. I only wish the author had taken more time to give us more history on Sebastian! There is a really touching scene towards the end of the book where we get a look at the intense past he carries with him. I would have enjoyed a deeper dive. 

I recommend this book to romance readers who enjoy the burn more than the payoff.
