This was super sweet and sexy. The narrators were both great. Busy Business Woman is not into love, only BUSINESS is a trope I am often intrigued by (maybe because I myself have never done a business) and Rhi feels extremely fleshed out in this. She focusses on her career because of past trauma that is slowly revealed throughout the book, AND because she knows that as a Black woman she has to work harder and better to get similar success and recognition, AND because she is ambitious, AND because she loves and wants to do right by her employees and her company. I love the chemistry of Rhi and Samson, the way it feels natural both that they fall into bed together but also that they fall into vulnerability and sharing parts of themselves they didn't expect to share. I was convinced both by the attraction and compatibility that keeps bringing them together and the emotional baggage they both carry that keeps them apart. And the sex scenes are I loved the supporting cast as well. Just a delightful book!
