I loved this book! It is not every day that you see main characters who are minorities. I liked how Samson and Rhi’s relationship didn’t seemed rushed, like in some other books. They initially met in order to hook up, but throughout the story you could see their relationship blossom. I also loved Rhi! At times, I feel like female main characters can be too dependent on the male characters, and that often their decisions are heavily influenced by their romantic interests. Rhi tried her best to not let her feelings for Samson not affect her work life. However, this at times made her feel unlikeable because it seemed like she worried more about her work life than her budding relationship. In then end, I felt like we saw a new side of Rhi. She finally started putting her personal relationships above her work and was able to start a serious relationship with Samson.

While I loved this book, there were some loose ends that I wish were tied up better. I wanted to know why Peter ended up stepping down as CEO. While I am assuming it was because of all of the allegations, I feel like he would be the type of person to get nasty and try to paint a bad picture of the victims. I also thought it was random how Chris popped up out of nowhere and asked Annabelle on a date. Annabelle did say they had history, but I just thought it was weird to add this part into the story. I also want to know what ends up happening with Swype, Crush and Matchmaker since William and Peter stepped down, and Rhi turned down the offer. I am hoping these details are given in the next book in the series, but we will see.
