Will Cruz comes to a mountain ski town to oversee the renovation of the old Kasper Ridge Resort. He old Navy buddy Ghost and inherited it and will give him a share for be in charge of the project. Lucy Dale is the best contractor in town. She runs the company her grandfather started and this job could keep her crew employed for almost a year. She’s very competent at her job. And it puts Will and Lucy together often. This is a steamy, open door romance and everything moves at an insta-attraction pace. I did not like that technically he is her employer. His first encounter with her borders on sexual harassment. But this is a lighter and more predictable story. There is a side story that involves a treasure hunt for Ghost and his sister that is not resolved in this book. I’m not a fan of a big things left unresolved but I guess it will be something carried through the series. (This is the first book.) Thank you to NetGalley and Delancey Stewart Books for an eARC in exchange for a review. (3.5 stars)

A heroine falls in love with her boss. She tells herself that it's only a fling. The boss is a former fighter pilot and the heroine renovates the place for him.
It's steamy and sexy. It's fun too. Love both characters and how they interact with each other. A fast-moving quick romance.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read an ARC of "Only a Fling", written by Delancey Stewart. It was published on August 15th, 2022.
Overall, I rated this novel a 4/5 stars!
The book tells the story of Will, a former fighter pilot in a small town who teams up with a buddy of his to help rehab and restore an old ski resort that has been left to his friend. Will hires Lucy to take charge of the renovation process at Kasper Ridge. This is the first novel in the series. It isn't long before Lucy & Will have eyes for one another.
One of my only complaints about this story was that there were a few too many sex scenes for me. I tend to prefer closed-door romance novels (or close to it, if possible)
