4.5
4.5/5 stars
2/5 spice
Tropes:
Second chance romance
Billionaire FMC
Actor MMC
"It's always been you"
Buffy references
Dual POV
Novella
I loved the fact that the FMC was a badass STEM billionaire. I loved Scarlet's character. She worked hard to get where she was, and she owned it. Although Griffin messed up a few times, he was quick to apologize and own his mistakes. The communication was on point, probably because it was a novella, but it helped not having to deal with that drama, and a lot of past misunderstandings cleared the way for their romance to grow.
This is an open door romance, but they are short. Although it will feel like they are moving fast, the fact that they both had lingering feels from the past helped move things along. Highly recommend for fans of second chance romance and short low conflict stories.
Trigger/Content warnings:
Bullying (past tense), sexual content, misogyny/sexual harassment in the workplace
