The blurb on this book immediately grabbed me. We have all worked with that ONE REALLY ANNOYING guy, right? And hell if he's not always just a bit CUTE! URGH!

So I always already invested and this book DID NOT let me down! I absolutely ADORED this!!

Here's what you'll find in Work Trip:
🔥Fiesty FMC who's really easy to like and relate to
🫦Annoyingly sexy MMC who's very easy to dislike... at first!
😍BANTER. These two were just at each other in all the best ways
💞Enemies to lovers done in the BEST way
🏕️Forced proximity... in the middle of nowhere... in SCOTLAND!
🌶️Medium spice. I could have personally gone for more, but I loved what we were given!

Took a chance on this book and I'm SO GLAD I did! It was just such a gorgeous book, a fast enjoyable read and highly recommend!!

Work Trip is a fun rom-com that I really enjoyed. You've got an insane boss, enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity, complete with a beautiful Scottish Highlands setting. I would have liked slightly more exploration of why James fell for Fliss but overall, I really liked it and will definitely keep an eye out for any future books by the author.

3.75 - 4 ⭐
This was a really fast-paced, cute, funny and enjoyable read! The two main characters work in the same company, but in different departments and are kind of work enemies. They can not get along. But then they have to go on a trip, where their boss dumps them in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish Highlands and they have to find their way home again.
The bickering and the banter was strong, and they soon become kind of friends. This weird adventure definitely brought them closer together and made them reevaluate some of their live/work choices.
I’d recommend this book 😊

I received this book from netgalley , the author and the publicer as an ARC . Thank you . All thoughts and opinions are my own .

I really enjoyed this story. Felicity and James are two work rivals who cannot get along - so their boss unceremoniously dumps them in the woods with a tent, a sleeping bag, and 20 condoms.
Felicity and James need to learn how to work together to get along - both professionally and ultimately romantically.
A fun easy novel to be enjoyed!

Work Trip is a hoot. So entertaining is it, that is is impossible to put it down. Author Chloe Ford successfully blends adventure, leadership, a retreat, work, team building and romance. This is no mean feat. The main characters Fliss, James and Michael (their boss) are larger than life. Michael is scheming and manipulative. The unique challenge his ‘team’ face in the Scottish Highland is mind blowing. James and Fliss learn more about survival and resilience than they would ever have dreamed up. Their resolve not to give into any romantic notions is severely tested. And this is where the fun and fireworks begin.

3.75-4⭐️ - what a cute little romance! I loved the premise, the plot, the story, it was everything I needed. There was little sprinkles of spice, comedy and sassiness, all wrapped up in a context of finding what you really want to do with your life and finding your worth.

Thank you to Netgalley & Chloe Ford (& team) for the opportunity to read this book ahead of publishing!

I love the setting and premises of this story and that was something that really grabbed my interest when requesting this book! The author has done a wonderful job building scenery and adventure into this book.

For me it didn't feel like true enemies to lovers and I felt their ending was very predictable. The constant denial of feeling and assuming the other characters feelings isn't something I am a fan of personally. As someone who lives in the Highlands & Islands the one line of Gaelic felt out of place to me, as no one here typically greets strangers that way.

I did however find myself smiling at cute connections and enjoying the adventure of Fliss and James. The writing style is easy to follow and makes for a cute reading experience. I would read more of the authors books.

I loved this one, funny, easy read and enjoyable. The concept was brilliant and executed well. I was hooked from the first chapter onwards. I loved Fliss and James relationship and how open they became with each other. The setting sounded beautiful with great descriptions and it was paced well.

A must read for those who like an enemies to lovers and forced proximity trope. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. If you love a rom com book and want some escapism go pre order this now.

Thank you to Aria Books and Netgalley for the advance copy of Work Trip.

Work Trip follows Fliss and James on what they think is an innocuous team building trip to Scotland. Only when they get there and then swiftly get abandoned by their boss, left only with backpacks of hiking gear, £50, and a note telling them their team building exercise is to hike back to their hotel in order to make their flight home. Slightly insane. Even worse that Fliss and James HATED each other, and are stuck sharing one small tent…

This book was really fun, and a great premise. I enjoyed it a lot! Though sometimes I really had to suspend my disbelief to get fully absorbed into the story - but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

This was a little toooo far-fetched. It was a completely mad trip to send employees on and that made the premise. a bit hard to swallow. Both the main characters were quite annoying. But otherwise, a fun read.

Thoughts 💭- I LOVED this one! It was such an easy read, not my ‘usual’ genre shall we say but I was loving it and read it in one day!just couldn’t put it down. Enemies to lovers / forced proximity and one bed tropes clearly seem to be my thing!

If you’re after something funny, light hearted and easy reading this is definitely for you. I’d actually love a sequel to this 🥰

Stranded in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish Highlands with limited equipment supplied by their boss, Fliss and James have to overcome their mutual hatred . A tale of survival and overcoming personal differences. A really enjoyable read.

'Work Trip' was the perfect workplace romance, with a true enemies to lovers trope! Our main characters Fliss and James truly do detest each other!

In order to resolve their differences, James and Fliss's boss sends them on a spontaneous - and very unglamorous - work trip that immediately goes south. As their adventure unfolds, tensions grow, and our two love interests in such close proximity are forced to learn more about each other.

Full of snappy banter and fueled disagreements, as well as heartfelt conversations, James and Fliss find themselves drawn to the very things they hate about each other. They were such a great pair! My favourite part was James' uncanny ability to notice when Fliss was overthinking and interally panicking, proving that he'd been keeping a closer eye on her in the office than either of them expected! He was so in tune with her feelings. Fliss also discovered how much she'd been judging James on his cover without realising the depth to his character underneath, especially his difficult upbringing.

The rough and wild backdrop of the remote Scottish Highlands was the perfect touch to this novel! Which ended up throwing James and Fliss into some tense situations, where they needed to lean on each other in order to make it through in one piece.

Thank you so much NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this!

*I received this book as an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) for free in exchange for an honest review*

Thank you to NetGalley & the publishers Aria & Aries for the opportunity to read this book in return for my honest review.

She’s the Type A head of marketing, everything in her work life is planned to a tee.. and he’s the egotistical head of sales who constantly aims to derail her ideas in order to benefit himself and his department. When their nutty CEO has had enough of their bickering, he plans a ‘team building’ work trip to the Scottish Highlands. But these two city folk are quickly abandoned in the wilderness, with just a handful of protein bars, two sleeping bags and just one tent 😳😳

I absolutely ate this book up! 😍 Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, last-two-people-at-the-end-of-the-world disease 🤣 this book started off strong with corporate rivalry and a ton of banter and it stayed strong throughout! I laughed, I empathised and I joined Fliss on her emotional 180 regarding how she felt about James! It has literally everything you could want from a romance book!!

What an incredible debut novel from Chloe Ford! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An easy read which really drew me in so I flew through it, with enemies to lovers and workplace romance!
Loved the British humour as well.

I really enjoyed this read, it was refreshing to read a UK based book with good British humour. End of Chapter 5 particularly made me giggle.

Fliss and James are work enemies but their boss makes them work together on a work trip. Can they resolve their differences ;)

I flew through this book! I really enjoyed the banter between Fliss and James, with good British humour and lots of adventure along the way.

If you like a romance with a bit of spice, enemies to lovers and lots of humour, I'd highly recommend this book.

All the elements needed for the trope and lashings of Scottish weather to add to it! A thoroughly enjoyable read of tribulations, attraction and denial with an ending leaving things wide open for a sequel!

I would first like to thank Netgallery for allowing me to both read and review my first ever arc !

Work Trip by Chloe Ford is an enemies to lovers & workplace romance which I absolutely LOVE. It reminded me a lot about the hating game but that much better !
I love the setting being in England as well as Scotland as I always find myself gravitating towards each place.


Tropes:
Rom Com, Workplace romance, Damsel in Distress, Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity

Thank you so so much again netgallery

Marketeer Fliss and salesman James are at loggerheads at work. When their boss decides to send them on a work trip, it is not as either expected. Can they complete the challenge they are set, and find a way to work together?

I found the story fairly predictable, but entertaining nonetheless. I struggled to warm to Fliss, but I loved James - I really liked how he could sense when Fliss was overthinking. A fun romcom, set in a beautiful location, the descriptions were wonderful.
