The Trouble With Love by Claire Contreras

5.0

just read (listened to) The Player and The Trouble with Love back to back and this one is slightly different and a little lighter than the others I’ve read by her.

While Morgan’s backstory has a lot of pain and turmoil, the overall feel of this book is a little lighter. I loved this just as much as I love her books that tear my heart to pieces.

Morgan and Bennett have a one night stand together and did not exchange full names or numbers before going their separate ways. Move forward a year and Morgan walks into her dream company as a new hire and comes face to face with Bennett and realizes he’s not only going to be her boss, but he’s also her brother’s best friend.

Morgan and Bennett set some initial boundaries to keep things professional, but their chemistry didn’t allow those boundaries to stay intact for long. They agree on new boundaries and commit to keep things casual, but the emotional and physical pull between them is too strong to ignore.

As with what I am coming to realize as CC’s style, the struggles and resolutions to the relationship bumps and hurdles are realistic and not always easily solved. A simple “I’m sorry” isn’t enough and I always appreciate that the couples have to actually talk through their issues before their HEAs.
