Ooooof. This is a hard one. It had all sorts of swooney Ryan Goslingy types of dialogue to make a romantic heart go pitter-pat and while I knooooooooooooooooow romance books aren’t steeped in reality, the plotline was sort of problematic for me.

I set aside the fact that most workplaces have anti-fraternization rules and simply went along with that trope for the sake of . . .



But this idea that the boy your entire family has blamed for your sister’s death for well over a decade somehow coinky-dinkily becomes not only your co-worker in a REAL niche profession of screenwriting, that also happens to be 100% across the country from where you grew up and then also can somehow become your love interest was a lot for my logical non-romantic brain. Also, I’m in a current phase where I prefer fade-to-black smexuals so all the dirty talk did absolutely nothing for either me or my lady garden.

YMMV – 3 Stars.

Rinna I thought it was one of the better novels of this genre, actually. Maybe that’s not a high bar.

For me when it comes to romances - it's all about my connection to either the characters or the plot. I just couldn't move past the dead sister/family stuff to 100% enjoy this one.
