** spoiler alert ** OMG this is such a fun cute story. Classic rom com with some spice!! I enjoyed the quick pace of the book, and the female main character is just hilarious. I liked how it goes spicy right off the bat but then had a slow burn the rest of the book. I look forward to other books by this author.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for this ARC.

I gave this book 3 and a half stars ⭐

I thought it was a really cute and short read. It was very easy and quick to get through as well.

For a short story, it had a bit of everything. It was written really well, with sprinkles of romance and drama all round up into one.

I had no trouble getting through this read, and I'm left feeling quite satisfied for a book that's less than 150 pages.

Overall, a good read if you're looking for a palate cleanser or a pick-me-up ❤️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc! Okay this was really cute. It started out strong, I was immediately hooked from the banter/chemistry between Lula and Tristian. And I was living for the tension between them on the first night they met at the bar. I will say it did get slightly repetitive towards the end and I also feel like it moved so fast even for a romance book. I mean Tristian was proposing after a month and I feel like they barely knew eachother. But overall enjoyed this one, giving this 3/5 stars.

Sometimes you just want a book that is short and sweet! Between heavier reads, this is a great rom/com that could be read in one sitting. I probably wouldn’t reread, but I enjoyed it as a whole knowing that it was going to be an insta-love, fast paced story.

A short romcom book. Easy read. You know from the start where this is going, and ultimately where it will end up. Probably, read definitely, not PC as far as far any HR officer or lawyer would be concerned in the real world. But as a bit of fiction, enjoyable reading to pass a few hours. Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

A one night stand turns into chaos when Tristan, a hot successful, but a little arrogant, businessman, finds out that the woman he spent an unforgettable night with is the same woman he has to fire as a favor to his father. Sweet, but strong and independent, Lula doesn’t let a guy, especially not dreamy Tristan, to walk all over her. When Tristan regrets firing Lula, she makes it close to impossible to convince her to work for him again. After a grand gesture, she accepts his job offer. They think they can have a normal boss-employee relationship and put their sizzling night in the past, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep their hands off each other. Despite their strong chemistry, they both want entirely different things in life and deep down they know they aren’t meant to be.

I couldn’t put the book down! The banter, the plot, the characters, the writing was all *chefs kiss*

Tristan is trying to get over a messy breakup when a sexy brunette catches his eye and his life turns 180. He initially was only supposed to be in London for a few days, but that changes when he starts liking his new job and starts falling for a diligent brunette.

Lula knows what she wants in life and doesn’t shy away when faced with a challenge, especially a challenge like Tristan. He makes her crazy in every way, but after being let down by all her past relationships, she refuses to start something with him knowing that it’ll only end in heartbreak.

Reading about a man falling in love is my kryptonite. They both fall simultaneously for each other, but Tristan falls harder.

The characters are so perfectly written that I have no notes. The plot was so smooth and although there were some cliches here and there, they didn’t overshadow the story. I hate miscommunication, but they both had bad role models and awful past relationships that prevented them from being more open about their feelings, which is why I let the minor trope slide.

I’m really glad I read it and I can’t wait to read more of her work!

Star Rating: 4.5/5

Talulah "Lulah" Lazenby is a shy, introverted 20-something, who comes to life as DJ Lulah on a local radio station. One bad decision to engage in a one-night stand with the manager at the radio station leads her in a position where she loses the position as host at the stations top radio show after she rejects his continued propositions. Lulah files a complaint against her boss and is dreading the repercussions that may come as a result.

While wallowing in her predicament, Lulah decides to throw caution the wind and engage in another one-night stand with a handsome stranger she meets at a local bar. What could go wrong?! Apparently, everything. The handsome stranger, Tristan Bamfield, is the son of the owner of the radio station who has been sent into town to access the merits of her complaint. More importantly, the consensus from his father is that is to fire Lulah in order to quickly eliminate the issue. Tristan is only a couple of months from his ending a 4 year relationship and is re-accessing his view on love. His view on marriage is already at an all time low due to his own father's 4 failed marriages. What starts off as just a one-night stand, leads Tristan, against his own misgivings, to want more.

The chemistry between Lulah and Tristan was potent. The book progressed very quickly and sometimes that's just what you want. I do wish that there had been more time taken to work through Tristan's issues with his ex-girlfriend and brother, which is why I took away half a star. I love that though Lulah was shy and introverted, she stood up for herself, clearly expressed her wants and desires concerning her career and her relationship. This was a great little read. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I found the book to be enjoyable, although I did find it somewhat short and predictable.

The main characters, Lula and Tristan, were likable but not particularly memorable. Emily, another character, could have played a more significant role in the story.

I felt that more character development was needed to understand their motivations and personalities.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to someone looking for a quick and lighthearted romance story.

I was given this ACR by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was an enjoyable read. I would give it 4.5/5 stars if I had that as an option. The story starts off with a bang (literally) and you can’t help but get dragged into the storyline.
I loved the confidence and strong will of the main character as she went for what she wanted, everyone else’s opinions be damed. Majority of books of this type of genre always depict a scared, easily manipulated heroine and it was a nice change to see someone that takes no s**t.
As for the main male character, he was a little cocky but I liked that about him. His confident, in control of himself persona made him more relatable.
Overall the story is great if you’re looking for a sexy, lighthearted read. My only downside is I would have loved it to be a little longer. I would definitely read more work by this author in future.

Cute short story with a few spicy sex scenes. I enjoyed the main characters and as it was a short story there wasn't too much hanging around and waiting for things to happen!

Read this book in one sitting as it’s a nice and short one, found the book semi engaging, although the story line was well written it did feel rather rushed, was an average read to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Once I got over the fact I had to re read the first chapter, (The book dives straight in with meeting all the characters and the back story and for me personally, I found it hard to try and 'keep up'. That's just my brain though, so maybe other readers will be fine), I really enjoyed the book!
I'm a huge fan of dual point of views- makes things interesting and there were certainly laugh out loud moments. Tristan is a likeable character and Lu is someone I feel like I've known for years. The work setting was an added bonus for my kind of book trope.
Worth a read!

A short and sweet contemporary romance that would be a great break between denser or heavier reads! Fun and flirty, overall I enjoyed this one and would recommend for anyone who likes an office place romance or the instalove trope. Due to the length, we don't get much character growth, but the chemistry is definitely there. All of that being said, I think you have to meet this book where it is - you're not going to get lyrical prose or a deep epiphany in these pages, but it was entertaining!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!

This was a quick and easy read. I enjoyed this romance. I finished it in one sitting!

Ok this was fun! Short and sweet and not overdrawn. Quick contemporary romance novel. I enjoyed it and will look for more of Christy's books.

LOOOOVE THIS BOOK! IT's so funny and the plot and storyline keep you in it. Would highly recommend. Great character development

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lula Lazenby is a DJ who’s accused her horrible boss of keeping her from a coveted hosting position because she won’t sleep with him.

Tristan Bamfield has recently broken up with his cheating girlfriend and was recruited by his dad to fire the employee of a radio show who’s been accused of showing up late and drunk to work. Little does he know that the woman he had an incredible one night stand with is the same employee he is tasked to fire.

I was intrigued with the synopsis of this book, and excited that the book took place in London and would satisfy the wanderlust I’ve been feeling lately. But the book left a lot to be desired.

Tristan has got a lot of baggage, which is understandable given how his relationship ended and how his girlfriend’s betrayal left him insecure. When he discovers that Lula is the same woman he slept with, he assumes that she sought him out in order to help her chances of keeping her job. He treats her horribly, insinuating that she is making false claims about her boss, Jez, who will only offer her the popular morning show if she sleeps with him. It was hard to get back on his side after that. Also, in the time of Me Too and with sexual harassment protocol in place in many companies, it seems a little hard to believe that he would make the rash decision of firing her without further investigating the allegation.

Once it comes to light that Jez had been embezzling money from the station and is not the upstanding guy he pretended to be, he is immediately fired. Tristan is left to take over as station manager until he can find a replacement and the first order of business is to ask Lula back to take over the morning show. I did like the creative way Tristan chose to apologize to Lula. It was very thoughtful and was a callback to things he remembered about her during their one night stand.

I liked Lula as a character. She wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted, and if she was, she still went for it anyway. She’s brave and kind and doesn’t allow herself to be a pushover.

Because the novel was short there wasn’t much of a journey when it came to the romance. There was a ton of chemistry, but I didn’t feel the love per se. There was definitely a lot of spice and it was an entertaining read for such a short novel.

The idea was there I just don't think it has been accomplish which is actually sad to be honest, the characters were fun but one id obsessed with marriage and the other one wasn't... So,,, Well it had everything to be good but it wasn't

I went in hoping to enjoy this because the premise seemed fun, but the execution was just not there.

Lula is bordering on delusion with her obsession with getting married and Tristan, while decent, overcomes his hangups way too quickly. I feel like his trauma is treated as a joke in this novel, which is quite offputting.

The spice was decent, but overall this book just felt like it was too rushed and the HEA was completely unearned.
