I really enjoyed this book. I think it was first slow burn type of book which took some getting used to. But I loved everything about this.
The characters were amazing. I loved Steven and Grace. They definitely had quite a few obstacles to get through to be together. But I loved that they continued to fight for their relationship despite the many obstacles. And the fact it took awhile for them to get together made the moment they did that much better.
The boss/employee relationship in this book was different from any other boss/employee book I've read before. Grace and Steven never actually got together while Grace worked for him. Which I found refreshing. While they worked together again towards the end, Grace had technically been working for herself at that point and not as an employee of the company or Steven. Which eliminated that ethical boundary and power imbalance that would have been there in the beginning of the book.
I did get quite emotional towards the end of this book when Steven and Grace worried they wouldn't be able to be together anymore after what Steven's mom told him. And I actually cried when Steven's Dad revealed the truth of what happened when Steven and Grace were kids.
I loved the interaction Grace had with her father in the end. While it made me sad reading it and the circumstances behind her father not being in her and her sister's life, I was happy to see the start of them getting to know each other.
So in all, I loved this book and would highly recommend. I'm excited to get into the second book. With how this book ended and set up for the second book. I feel like the second one is gonna be very interesting.
