Wow! Wow! Wow! What an absolutely breathtaking debut by Danica Nava! I enjoyed every single second of this book! Danica did an amazing job of building the characters, the workplace, and the community within this book. It felt like I truly knew every person and the environments created felt like realistic ones that either I have navigated or that I have seen others navigate. I know this book will allow readers, Indigenous or non-Indigenous, to feel seen, understood, and loved!

Ember is a liar, but also a good person! This girl can do no wrong in my eyes! She was making me cry, cackle, and even had me feeling proud of her in certain moments. Her character development was absolutely phenomenal and I think the ways that Danuwoa helps her in that growth is really beautiful. 

Danuwoa is probably one of the sexiest MMC I’ve ever read! This man had me feeling things! His kindness, patience, and honesty made him not only the ideal man, but also exactly what Ember needed. 

These two characters compliment each other so well! Their ability to communicate with just facial expressions and subtle touches made me absolutely squeal every single time! Their romance was sexy and quick, but it didn’t feel rushed or surface level. While reading I could feel that these characters genuinely liked each other and I could feel the love growing between them as the book progressed! 

I cannot recommend this romance enough! It is definitely my favourite workplace romance that I’ve ever read and I already can tell it is going to be one of my favourite reads of 2024!!!
