LOVED this enemies to lovers that had some of the best hate sex (which is a fav haha)!
I always love how Marni Mann jumps right into the spice... but then the story takes a direction you raen't fully expecting, and things get tricky! And this one definitely did that!

Their first time together, right after they meet - soooo hot. But then a misunderstanding causes them to seperate before their night can continue... and they dont see eachother again until she shows up as his new intern at work.
Things stay tricky for quite some time between the 2 of them, but I lovedddd how even when they didn't want to, they cannot resist one another.
Let's just say - a conference room table has NEVER been so hot!!!!

READ THIS BOOK!!!!

Nothing like what I was hoping it would be. . I had a hard time falling in love with these two and felt like there wasn’t much to this story.

Smutt was on point but that was all the book was. Not much of a plotline. But that is okay by me.

first let me say that i have been obsessed with this entire series since i found it. i loved hannah so much in the single dad and declan had me curious. my expectations were super high. i eat up marni’s writing. there is something different about it to where it can complete draw you in and make you forget everything and anything else going on. the intern was one of my most anticipated reads of this year and it did not disappoint. i binge read the entire book in one evening. the intern had a lot of my favorite tropes and it was chefs kiss. the tension + chemistry between hannah and declan was undeniable. it burned through my skin. there was not a moment that i wasn’t rooting for them. can i tell you something? one of the best things that marni does with her writing is she keeps you on edge of the plot and STILL makes me feel super emotional about the MCs without a third act breakup. this is one of the hottest books i’ve ever read. a lot of the time there is either a really good plot or really good spice. and this has both. you feel so connected to hannah and declan— that it makes you feel like you are in their world. you could easily tell that even though in a lot of ways they were similar, they also balanced each other out. they pushed each other to be a better version of themselves. which, how can you not root for that?! i’m pretty sure this is my top read of the year. i honestly imagined how much i was going to love this book but it blew my hopes out of the water. i did not want this book to end. i just want even more hannah and declan! this entire book was perfection.

Declan was rude af and his way of thinking was gross. Also, “But I’d heard the words, and I responded, ‘I f*ck anyone who’s over the age of eighteen and meets my criteria, and, oh hell, she exceeded them.’” Kinda gave me the ick tbh.


Overall: ⭐️⭐️.5

I wanted to like this one, I read the single dad a few months ago and loved ford and was excited for Hannah to get her own story. But Declan ruined it for me, he was way to cocky and just obnoxious. Normally I love a bit of Jack ass in my MMC but he was over the top and honestly just abusing Hannah through most of this story and why she did take it good and stood up to him. She didn’t deserve half what he did to her. He is a new lawyer at Hannah’s family firm and Hannah just got an internship there and they sign her over to Declan to monitor but these two had a night together a few weeks ago and Declan didn’t know who Hannah was and when he finds out her family is the ones who run the firm and his best fiends her decides to be mean to her and do everything to get her reassigned. But this is what bothered me Hannah was a great at what she did and he acted like she was a spoiled brat who couldn’t do anything right to her and her family all because he didn’t like his feelings he had about her. And It did get better in the end which is why I’m giving it a 3. But even tho her started acting better and we got to know why he was the way he was it just didn’t make up for it. And the dirty talk was so cringey referring to her private’s as a C**T over and over.

Two main points:
1. I am and will always be obsessed with the Dalton Family.
2. I think this might be the spiciest book in the series so far.

I loved reading Hannah and Declan’s story. The forbidden love, forced proximity, and intensity of this book made me fall quickly in love with the characters and plot. I will never stop recommending this series!

Thank you Valentine PR for the ARC for review!

 I’ve been loving this series so much. Each book just seems to be getting better.
I love an office romance with the forced proximity element and this was perfection. I love how effected Declan was by Hannah’s presence in his office. How she drove him wild just by being there. The tension that Marni Mann created before they both explode was hot!
The story was interesting and I’ve loved Hannah after reading The Single Dad. The story intriguing, full of smut with a bit of feelings and heart thrown in. I did enjoy seeing Declan’s character grow (get your mind out of the gutter 😉) and see his development as he becomes involved in his first serious relationship. I wish we did have a bit more plot, to maybe feel more connected to these characters.
But overall a fantastic book in this series!
