I can’t help but fall in love with this book. The way the tension builds between them is almost unbearable in the best way possible, and it’s the kind of slow burn that makes every moment feel so satisfying. What really gets me is how the author makes me care so much about the characters, especially with Kriya. She’s messy and human, and watching her deal with her career and personal life felt so relatable. Charles, the stickler for rules, is so much more than his perfect exterior, and I found myself rooting for them both, hoping they’d find their way to each other. I was laughing one moment, then on the edge of my seat the next, just hoping these two would figure it out. The romance doesn’t feel rushed, and every moment they share feels earned. It’s that perfect balance of tension, humor, and heartfelt emotion that gets me every time.

I love law and everything related so of course I’m going to like a book where both mcs are lawyers. The fmc finds herself in the same law firm she tried to get w job at in the beginning of her career after her boss moves and takes her with him. She meets the mmc who is a lawyer at the firm and they relate on many level. They are both asian and British and both have gone through feelings of not being enough for the culture they are in or in their ethnic groups. I really enjoyed seeing both characters be proud and struggle with issues surrounding their culture and family expectations for them.

This is both a cute romance and a workplace tale and its a sweet, well written book that explores workplace harassment and shitty bosses. Overall a cute and diverse read. Thanks to Bramble for the earc.
