It was a nice change to read a story with not the typical romance recipe or trope. With an interesting take on a road trip story.
Lucy has worked as a person assistant for Miles, a billionaire. Managing his calendar, emails and even setting up his dates. Lucy is tired feeling unnoticed by Miles and ignoring her, so finally she just quits and Miles doesn't believe her that she will, so she announces she's going to be a travel influencer on Instagram. To say the least Miles is flabbergasted and quickly learns how lost at with he is without her.
After failing to convince her to come back, he makes a deal with her that he will go on a road trip with her across Route 66. She doesn't believe he can make handle a no frills life style in an airstream camper and he doesn't believe she will stick with this plan for two weeks. If she goes back to work for him. Of course living in tight quarters relationship progresses it wouldn't be a romance if it didn't.
I really enjoyed this one. I typically really dislike the trope "I can't be that guy for you, I'm not a relationship for type of guy, you know what this is". However this book did a great job giving a back story and giving a legitimate and a realistic traumatic reason.
The chemistry between Miles and Lucy is so great. I love their banter and their natural dialogue. I really appreciated the Spanish phrases in Lucy's dialogue. It really added to her character.
I didn't like that in the first pages of the book it's revealed about Lucy's true feelings for Miles. That basically she has been pining for him and it's continually brought up thru out the book. I'm just not sure this was really needed or really added to their love story,
Last the grandma! She was the best, I loved her dialogue and how supportive she was of her granddaughter. I loved her no filter about Miles

Lucy has been in love with her boss forever. She is his assistant and does everything for him, but he never noticed her, until she quit.
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it was the best one she made in a long time. She will take her grandma's airstream on a road trip and become an influence along the way.
While her life seems to get better, Miles's is falling apart. He is a mess without Lucy and is determined to get her back, in any way possible. So he goes along for a ride.
On the trip, in very close proximity he sees a whole other side of her and can't help but fall in love with her.
It's a hilarious story, full of funny and swoony moments. Their banter made me LOL many times and I loved reading the book from start to finish.
Highly recommend it!

Parts of this were cute, and I enjoyed following along as they drove Route 66 from the Art Institute of Chicago to the Santa Monica pier. I made the same trip with my family quite a few years ago and it was fun to relive some of the stops.
But Miles' insta-lust was pretty unbelievable. He went from virtually ignoring Lucy and taking her for granted to being obsessed with her after about 2 days on the road.

sadly i was expecting so much more. she worked for him 2 years and was in love with him, he fell for her when they took 2 weeks trip and it didn't feel realistic because he didn't even realize her past two years

This was such a cute, quick, and fun read! I really liked the plot of the book and the writing made me want to keep reading. I really love books with road trips and this one didn’t disappoint. Lucy, frustrated and underappreciated, quits her job to hopefully become a travel influencer. She plans to travel Route 66 from Chicago to California and will stop at all the sites. Her boss, Miles, who is lost without her, decides to accompany her on the trip to convince her to come back. Sparks fly and the rest is history.
I loved these two so much! Their chemistry and the way a different side to their relationship developed was something I enjoyed seeing. I really liked that we got both Lucy and Miles' perspectives. I loved the cute moments between the two as well as how funny the book was.
What to expect:

Lucy Gonzalez has been secretly in love with her self-absorbed boss for two years. Finally, she’s had it. She gives him two weeks’ notice on a signed post-it note and starts planning the next steps of her life. Miles doesn’t believe his admin assistant will leave him, so he doesn’t worry about a replacement. After a week of chaos, he packs a bag and invites himself along on Lucy’s Rte. 66 road trip. She hopes to start a new career as a travel influencer, and he hopes to get his assistant back.
This was a quick, fun, and spicy read. I loved the banter between Miles and Lucy and enjoyed reading about all the trouble the two got into. It was an entertaining read with a dual POV, which is my favorite.

I stayed up way too late to finish this book. It is a fun and cute road trip rom com starring Lucy and Miles. Lucy worked for two years as Miles' rarely "seen" assistant, spending much of that time secretly in love with him. Finally fed up, she quits and somewhat on a whim, decides she is going to seek fame and fortune as a travel blogger. Miles doesn't believe Lucy will really quit - until his life falls spectacularly apart after only one week without her. He tries to lure her back with more money, she sticks to her guns. Thus the bet - who will cave first if they undertake Lucy's planned spontaneous road trip together?
The road trip details are fun, and the chemistry between Lucy and Miles sizzles. It is fun to watch him wake up to the gem that Lucy is. I was slightly taken aback by how young Lucy is - she is only 23 - but I let it go to focus on the story. I loved the secondary characters (I hope Miles' brothers will each get their own books!) and the ending scene was just so sweet. This is a new author for me, and I will definitely pick up additional books by her. 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5.
