This was a cute & fun enemies-to-lovers story. This is Sarah Smith's debut novel and she nailed it. Its was adorable, a full of banter office romance with a strong likable heroine. I didn't feel like there was a huge dramatic conflict, just your typical misunderstandings. If you're looking for a quick read with some laughs, check this one out.

2.5 ⭐️
I had mixed feelings about this one... not sure if it was Prem calling his penis ‘Charlie', the very annoying sister character or just the fact that I felt no connect towards any character in this story - it was just really boring to me through most of it.

It did have its funny moments and a good amount of smut, but in the end it didn't have the wow factor. This book was definitely a miss for me.
