I just finished this one (like 12 minutes ago). It’s been on my shelf for ages and I hate that I didn’t pick it up before now because I loved it soooooo much!
There was (a lot) more sex in this romance than I’m used to (probably falls into the “smut” category?). And usually I’m kind of not into too much of that but I Was SO IN LOVE with these characters.
It’s an opposites attract, workplace romance. I will say that one character has OCD that leans heavy in the germaphobe/ cleanliness direction. As someone who doesn’t experience that, I couldn’t tell you if it’s a realistic portrayal or not. But if that’s something you live with, I do think it could potentially be triggering since we kind of go into the mind of that character quite a bit. So proceed with caution.
Other than that, I want to read everything by this author! He knows his characters so well and makes you love them quickly.
