4 - 4.5 stars! Vi brings us a sexy enemies to lovers office romance that will leave you a little hot under the collar. Annalise and Bennett first lay eyes on each other in an elevator and the attraction is immediate. They both feel a little zing that has them wanting to explore further, until they actually meet and find out they're both vying for the same job. I loved Annalise. She is this savvy, very intelligent businesswoman who is making a name for herself in the Marketing world. After her company merges with another, her first day on the job doesn't start out all that well. But seeing the hottie in the elevator brightened her spirits a bit, until she runs into him in her new bosses office. Damn, it's a shame he's so hot, because now she has to annihilate him in order to keep her job. Bennett comes across as the typical, gorgeous, cocky, arrogant alpha who has no intention of going down without a fight to save his position. But this woman is gorgeous, and before long he can't get her out of his head. I admit, I struggled with Bennett initially, because he said some pretty crappy things to Annalise, but the more I found out about him, the more I understood why he acted the way he did. There's lots of banter back and forth between Bennett and Annalise, and we get to see how they act with each other outside of the office. I loved how Bennett constantly picked on Annalise but did it in a way that she knew he wasn't really picking on her. She has some pretty unique quirks that I fell in love with. Conversely, I loved seeing Bennett interact in the other aspects of his life, those parts really melted my heart. Of course there's plenty of steamy sex that yes, made me very hot under the collar! It made me very jealous of Annalise! Vi never ceases to amaze me with the stories she weaves. Readers are going to go nuts for Annalise and Bennett!
