My first Abby Jimenez book.
I liked the slow burn, but got a little annoyed with the stereotypical 'miscommunication' trope that kept them apart. It would have been better if they were just trying to resist that whole time, rather than resisting because they thought to themselves that the other person "could not possibly interested." That being said, I did like the conflict for the most partand I liked that they spent a significant amount of time apart before re-kindling. It made it feel just a little bit different than your typical romance.
