Bea is an author of a sort of Percy Jackson like book who uses a pseudonym to keep her identity hidden. Gib is the CEO of a company that represents authors among other businessy things that they do. They are opposites, Bea is shy and Gib is outgoing. Bea has indoor cat energy while Gib is an outdoor Golden Retriever. When Bea is planning her godmother's retirement party in Greece and Gib is staying at the same cottage that she is supposed to be staying at they have to share one bed.
This book is incredibly entertaining. While it is not literature by any means, it kept me fully engaged until I finished the whole thing in one sitting. My favorite part was the godmother, she was absolutely bananas, I loved her. I deducted a star and a quarter because the conflict was absolutely minimal and it didn't feel like there were any stakes at any point. He also kept negging her in his head which I didn't like and I will never give a "she falls first" book five stars. Overall though I thought it was a fun quick read that I would definitely recommend.
Tropes: she falls first, one bed, CEO romance, millionaire romance
