This was a new-to-me author, and I found the story pretty enjoyable, though the pacing was fairly slow for a while.
It felt like the pacing picked up once the spice started. The characters did have really good chemistry, and I love the grumpy/sunshine trope.
It also took a while for the fake dating part of the storyline to happen. Initially the hero was hellbent on proving he was a good person.
I really loved the family support our heroine had. Her friends and uncle were amazing for her.
I also saw pretty strong character development among our couple.
I'd definitely be interested in reading more by this author.
