Kate Bateman was already an auto-buy author for me after reading A Reckless Match. This book and trilogy caught me up on her backlist (before pre-2021, haha). Something I love about her romances is that, as fun and light-hearted many romance books are, her plots and characters are more complicated and sometimes darker, but still with a guaranteed HEA!! This book is that, with a badass strong heroine and a hero who is tough with a rough attitude, but is also completely respectful of the heroine’s boundaries and consent (something that can be sadly lacking in romances). Exciting plot, great banter, hot bedroom. Love it!!

I'm weak for class difference (okay the main characters are both rich here but STILL), cute banter, and grumpy but soft/smitten love interests, and this had everything in spades!!!

Now I need to read the other two books in the series (yes I do everything backwards, sue me).
