I love a good strangers to enemies to lovers and this was the perfect setup for that. Perfect execution but my goodness there were times I wanted to hit Know over the head with a mallet (lovingly, as a wake up call) because wow was he getting on my nerves near the end. He did some questionable things and handled things less than perfectly, but it all worked out in the end. He will stay one of my favourite main love interests in the romance genre. That sprinkle of action/mystery or whatever that was threw me for a loop and I didn't expect it. Nor did I enjoy it that much but the overall experience, and especially the ending made it all a memorable and enjoyable read. Excited to read Nash's story next

Oh my lordy. I can't believe I survived that. Listen I'm a huge Ali Hazelwood fan but my god this just wasn't the one for me. I've known that I despise the miscommunication trope and now I know that hasn't changed. I suffered through her misplaced and unnecessary hate. And for what? If we simply communicated and formed a proper emotional connection with one another, this would've been a nice workplace rivals to lovers read. But no, I suffered through miscommunication and what to me felt like pure physical attraction. Where's the connection? She left the room. Anyway, I'm tackling Bride next

I can see the hype. I don't however understand it. I don't see their connection nor do I understand the instant deep connection after only 2 weeks of knowing each other. I do however enjoyed Noah's character he's super sentimental and you can really see how much he cares for his family.

Cute, fluffy, smutty. A bit frustrating at times. It was a fun read, not my favourite from Ali Hazelwood but still really fun.

I liked that they had the 5 years of history, love that she's this black cat, kind of closed off person and he's this very honest and golden retriever like guy. There were times I cringed and questioned a few things (the smut, that's what I questioned) this is my second favourite amongst the 3 novellas
