This was a very enjoyable read over all. I love a good rom-com and tis one had the emotional twists I also love.
I got this arc in the mail and was super excited. The cover instantly did it for me. This is the authors debut story and it not be my last for her. I need everything else she writes.
The characters in this book have the best relationship. I love how real the book is and how they literally actually have conversations. That was so refreshing. I loved that even when they were on the offs, they talked it out and shared how they were feeling. A healthy relationship, what an idea.
But really. I loved it. I loved that he had the chemistry and the sexy-ness and the plot itself had me laughing time and time again while reading.
Synopsis:
Debut author Sarah Smith nails this fun and sexy multicultural romance where two office foes hammer out their differences to build a love that will last...
Emmie Echavarre is a professional faker. She has to be to survive as one of the few female employees at Nuts & Bolts, a power tool company staffed predominantly by gruff, burly men. From nine to five, Monday through Friday, she's tough as nails--the complete opposite of her easy-going real self.
One thing she doesn't have to fake? Her disdain for coworker Tate Rasmussen. Tate has been hostile to her since the day they met. Emmie's friendly greetings and repeated attempts to get to know him failed to garner anything more than scowls and terse one-word answers. Too bad she can't stop staring at his Thor-like biceps...
When Emmie and Tate are forced to work together on a charity construction project, things get...heated. Emmie's beginning to see that beneath Tate's chiseled exterior lies a soft heart, but it will take more than a few kind words to erase the past and convince her that what they have is real.
