⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Absolutely. Better get your smelling salts ready, Gannon and Carys will have you swooning from the first heated look until the very delectable end.

Gannon Brewer is the epitome of my type. He’s at least ten years older than me, emotionally unavailable, and highly disagreeable—a walking red flag in a tailored suit. But do I listen to that? No. In fact, when his office plants start dying, I convince myself that I can ignore the pheromones and save the philodendron. Now I’m in his office every week, dodging sinful smirks and heated stares, reminding myself to reach for the watering can—not him. But one late-night “ivy incident” changes everything. Suddenly, we’re sneaking around, indulging in a steamy, forbidden fling that’s supposed to be nothing more than (a lot of) fun. After all, he swears he’ll never fall in love. I assure him that I only want one thing, and it’s not his heart. But the closer we get, the more lines we blur, and the harder it becomes to keep our promises… Especially when the secret I’m keeping threatens to shatter everything.

MY THOUGHTS

Well, this was a sit down and read it all at once kind of book. Gannon and Carys were *chef’s kiss*. They handled their increasing closeness and any bumps in the relationship with maturity and following their journey was pure joy. I had a huge, goofy grin on my face the entire last quarter.

The family texts contributed to the general air of fun and happiness that this story will have you feeling. It was just a bit mind-boggling that they were able to keep it a secret for so long. This family deserves all the good things coming their way and the award for best side character goes to Tate, obviously.

I cannot recommend this book enough if you like a super steamy romance that will leave you with a light, happy heart. Each book in this series stands well on its own, but I don’t know why you’d want to miss a single one of them.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
