This was ridiculous and hilarious but in the best way possible. I was invested in both MCs straight away and was so excited for them to meet because I knew their banter would be fantastic, and I was right. I will say that they do spend a lot of time either having sex or thinking about sex and there isn’t any real plot until about 60% as the first part of the book revolves around their sex life and growing attraction to each other. It was very insta-lusty but their relationship is really very sweet.

I thought the big villain reveal was a little too predictable and I wish all the action hadn’t been jammed into the last portion of the book but I really have to just take this book for what it is, which is a funny, sexy, easy read. I don’t think it’s meant to be taken too seriously. I also thought their friendships and family relationships were fantastic.

I would recommend it if you’re looking for a quick, fun read!
