A decent read, strangers with an instant connection meet in a lift, and sparks fly!

I loved the meet cute, the characters vibe really well and the support they give each other throughout the story is lovely.

Loves the Uromance! I totally got How to lost a Guy In Ten Days vibes not only from the cover but the cool modern storyline as well! I loved how our two mains worked against each other only to come together in the best way! So soooo good! Highly recommend

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

After a painful breakup with her college girlfriend, Sawyer has sworn off love. Which is fine—except she’s a romance author. With a looming deadline and a case of writer’s block, she’s stuck. Then she keeps crossing paths with a one-night stand she can’t get out of her head, and he suggests maybe fate is nudging them to help each other.

Mason West is the ultimate hopeless romantic. His track record of dating co-stars has started to tarnish his reputation, especially after his latest ex goes public with a new boyfriend. He’s ready to give up on love, and when he repeatedly runs into Sawyer—the woman who left a lasting impression—he takes it as a sign. His idea? They’ll team up: he’ll help her with her writer’s block, and she’ll guide him away from romantic tropes so he can stop falling for people. Seems foolproof, right? Until, of course, their undeniable chemistry gets in the way.

These two are beyond adorable. I loved them both individually as characters. Despite their emotional baggage, they don’t let past heartbreaks weigh them down, and they still find joy and connection with each other. Watching them slowly open up and lower their defenses was so satisfying. Their vulnerable heart-to-heart moments were deeply moving, and it was beautiful to see them both feel truly seen and understood for the first time.

Both Mason and Sawyer have really strong character arcs. Their personal growth is just as compelling as their journey as a couple, and Ms. Connor does a fantastic job of showing their evolution, both together and on their own.

This was such an enjoyable read. If you’re in the mood for a cinnamon roll hero and a badass heroine, this is definitely the book for you! Highly recommend.
