Really enjoyed this book especially how it handled some toxic relationships in life and not just romantic ones but family ones. It was refreshing to see a man stand up for the people in his life in a big way.
I also loved that both main characters worked in STEM but in different fields. It was so neat to see their passions in this story and how they shared their passions with each other and his nieces.
This book had some amazing subtropes that made the story even better. I love a good caretaker when sick and this one was amazing.
The romance in this one developed really well but once it developed it moved lightening fast - too fast for me. But it was super sweet and had some really good moments.
I am glad I discovered this book through Bookstagram and got an advanced copy through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Loved this book! I especially loved that these two shared walls in a duplex and that he rescued her daughter more than once and was always looking for ways to help her.

This was one of those audiobooks that made me wish I had a longer commute. I never wanted to get out of my car when I got places!
I really can't believe this was a debut. It was so good and gave me a book hangover. It was also my favorite narrator, Kyla Garcia!
I like how the author called this rivals to more because they weren't really full blown enemies but there was definitely an edge and the workplace dynamic was very well written.
I absolutely loved both Annie and Ben especially when they talked about her work, analytics, and basketball. Their passion really came through. And eventually they realize there is passion besides work and the sparks are wonderful even without being super steamy. I'd give this one 🔥🔥. It isn't closed door but the door isn't wide open either.

There are some heavy triggers in this book so please check those. I definitely thought it was well written but it made me tear up a few times and made me angry sometimes. But I love that she didn't shy away from hard topics because they are real life issues.
I'll definitely be watching for more from Harrow!

This was such a good second chance/single mom book. But it has quite a few triggers so check those.
I hated that Rowan hurt Violette when they were kids but seeing them back in the same town made for some interesting sparks. I love how they were brought back together and he was able to redeem himself. I especially loved seeing him with her daughter.

This book sucked me in from page one and kept me that way all the way to the end. There was so much depth to both Scottie and Cal due to past trauma that made them very complex characters. They also had unbeatable chemistry. There is great forced proximity and some workplace proximity too.
There are a few triggers in this that are disclosed up front. Please read those. But this book was one of the best researched books I've ever read. You could tell St. James really did her homework and it made the book absolutely incredible.
I really loved learning more about hotshots and also about the things in Scottie's past too.
I cannot wait to start the next book in the series.
