Back Cover

What could be worse than finding out your one-night stand is your new colleague?

When Chloe hits it off with Alex Stuart at an international marketing conference, a one-night stand with him seems like a safe bet. He’s not from around here. So Alex showing up at work after they spend a great night together, that’s got to be the worst thing that can happen, right?

He’s the first guy she’s pined over in years, but that doesn’t change the fact that she has to focus on work. Then Alex is assigned on the pitch she needs to nail for her promotion. She can’t get distracted 

All I want is a fresh start.

A big move to London, a great new job, and hooking up with Chloe Nguyen? What a week.

And Chloe’s not only his new colleague, but Alex is working on a major pitch with her. For him, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to learn from the best. His international move is starting strong!

Unfortunately, Chloe can’t stand him. Alex can’t go home with his tail between his legs. He has to make this work.

My review

It’s the first book I read from this author, however it’s part of a series. Fortunately, you don’t have to consult them to understand Chloe and Alex’s story. I recommend it if you like romance. It’s predictable when you read a lot of rivals to lovers’ tropes. They slept together before they met at work, but Chloe didn’t lwant to give him a chance.

My favorite character was Alex. He moved to London to start a new job and I admire people who do everything they can to chase their dreams. He is the nicest character from the book. I had trouble relating to Chloe, although I am sure she had a soft spot for Alex from the moment they encountered, only I thought she was too cold. I understand she wants to work on the project, but she should realize she is not the centre of the world.

I love the fact that the narrative is happening in London. It gives me a chance to travel for a small price, but most of the novel is occurring in the office, so the reader doesn’t see much of the city.

I would like to thank the author for the arc. I enjoyed reading it. It was a cute story
