Thank you Netgalley and HARLEQUIN for giving me an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The story follows Xavier and Porscha reuniting after 4 years and realizing they still had the same chemistry. They quickly rekindle their physical relationship and try to figure out of there is more there than just a physical thing. Both of them have to balance their uncertain careers and how to make it work between them.
Like for me Harlequin books and be a hit or a miss. Like I could be involved with the story and not the romance or the other way around. This one stays in that line and I wasn't 100% sure if I loved it or hate it. Just fair warning this book is heavy miscommunication trope. If you don't like this trope, then you'll probably DNF this book. It got to certain points where it was infuriating how they didn't just communicate their feelings, but I did enjoy the romance aspect and the spice was good. Some scenes where more detailed than other.
Tropes: Strangers to lover to strangers to Friends with Benefits to lovers. (That's a mouthful)
