Man, the way my eyes bug out of my head when Mariana slips in a “baby girl” half way (or more) through the book. Gets me every time.

I really liked this one! This has a lot of god tropes: grumpy x sunshine, workplace romance, enemies to friends to lovers, touch her and you die, age gap. The list goes on. Slow burn though which isn’t my favorite, but only Mariana could make me read a ~500+ page book where I wait until about 90% in for them to bang.

It’s no secret I love Mariana Zapata books. Ugh. 

Of course it was a glorious slow burn, but it was so satisfying because the plot and the characters were  necessary to get to know before the love really kicked you in the gut. Rip and Luna were so wonderful! 

Definitely a recommend read!

The saving grace of this book was how good the romance was. Like, that's the whole point, but the plot itself was really stupid at times and I didn't feel like I got closure with so much that was going on.

Not my favorite Zapata read—but I still enjoyed it for sure. I had trouble putting it down like I do other Zapata reads, but it really didn’t feel like a lot happened in this 600+ page book. It burned a bit too slow for me this time.
