"And I knew then that we'd take anything on as long as we were together. We were a team. Ee'd light up each other's day, hold each others hands and push each other forward when we stumbled. TOGETHER. We'd do anything together."

I loved this book so much !! I was lucky enough to get the audio of this book and it was so perfect !! The narrator added so much character to the story !! Lina was seriously the greatest character I've read in a long time-- funny, witty, feisty, strong -- and very very relatable. Being a hardworking woman in a man's world is not easy and she kicked ass at it!! AND AARON!!! holy moly super man !! He is literally just so dreamy and charming. He was so very patient with her as she dealt with her family, her ex, her heartbreak and her fears. He was just so great. This was definitely a slow burn romance, but the chemistry and banter between Lina and Aaron was so electric and feisty, it was so worth it... and the STEAM!!! I will definitely be reading more of Elena Armas-- loved every second of this !!

"Again, that grin. Only for me. What a lucky bitch I was."

thank you to Atria books, Netgalley and Elena Armas for an advanced reading copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
