Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC! 

One of my favorite new adult romances I've read in a long time. I think a romance is at its best when it highlights the character growth of both main characters as well as how the characters fit together as a couple, and this book does both amazingly. I liked Denzel & Braylon as characters to be in the heads  and they always felt true to their ages even if I didn't like every decision they made, which is a testament to how well deep and well done their characterizations are. it's hard not to fall in love with both of them yourself. I thought the competition for the new CEO of 24 Carter Gold, set up some really fun party plot points but also kept the stakes high for Denz & Braylon's fake relationship. All the side characters, esp. Benz's siblings, made this book feel so warm and full, I loved it.
