4.5
4.5/5 - Kat is Theo's assistant. She is able to predict what he needs before he knows it. She is surprised that she has stayed at her job this long, as she usually loses joy in it. When Theo's boss announces his retirement, the job Theo has always thought was his, he is thrown into limbo when the boss announces he is unsure who the board will choose for the job. To seem more like a "family man" he concocts a fake engagement, without even a girlfriend. Kat agrees to be his fiancee to save the company from his rival, without having feelings. The only problem is, this fake relationship starts to feel real.
The dynamic between Kat and Theo was great. You could see these two cared for each other, it just took them a while to figure it out. They had insane chemistry and worked so well together. Kat had never been in a relationship without feeling "the ick" and she was sure it would come up with Theo, almost like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Once Theo decides he loves Kat, he sets about proving to her that she won't get "the ick" by just being there for and supporting Kat. It was so kind and wonderful.
Another great part of this book is the female friendship in this group. Kat has her own girl gang, and they are there to have her back. Their antics made me laugh, and I loved seeing the wrap-up for everyone in the series.
This was a wonderful book, with great writing. I will need to make sure I go back through the other books to read those stories.
