A cute, breezy read about a talented and under-appreciated architect who signs up to run the NYC marathon to impress her colleagues (especially her workplace crush).

Lydia is determined to literally go the extra mile to get the attention of the leadership team at her firm. She hires a personal trainer to help her prepare to run 26.2 miles. As Luke helps Lydia improve her mile times, they grow closer together, despite their reservations.

I thought this was really sweet and both Lydia and Luke are likable and make a good match. There is little conflict, which is lovely when you’re in the mood for an easy read. I do not like running at all but Luke had me believing that I would be able to successfully train for a marathon!

Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

Lydia and Luke's story is a sweet romance taking you through beautiful places in NYC. There is a lot of push and pull and some spice that keeps things guessing. I loved reading as Lydia grew as a person and demanded her space and finds confidence. Liam is an awesome book boyfriend.

Cute and satisfying romcom with solid plot and characters you will engage with and relate to. Surpassing personal obstacles, chasing your dreams, chasing new dreams, and finding yourself. Maybe we can all run a marathon!

I was intrigued by the cover and title and immediately wanted to read it. I thought that the book was fast paced and easy to follow. I especially liked how both Lydia and Luke had their own dreams and aspirations separate from each other. This allowed them not to become dependent on each other and was a nice change of pace from other books.
