One of Bustle's Most Anticipated Fall Releases Debut author Sarah Smith nails this fun and sexy rom-com where two office foes hammer out their differences to build a love that will last.... Emmie Echavarre is a professional faker. She has to be to survive as one of the few female employees at Nuts & Bolts, a power tool company staffed predominantly by gruff, burly men. From nine to five, Monday through Friday, she's tough as nails--the complete opposite of her easy-going real self. One thing she doesn't have to fake? Her disdain for coworker Tate Rasmussen. Tate has been hostile to her since the day they met. Emmie's friendly greetings and repeated attempts to get to know him failed to garner anything more than scowls and terse one-word answers. Too bad she can't stop staring at his Thor-like biceps... When Emmie and Tate are forced to work together on a charity construction project, things get...heated. Emmie's beginning to see that beneath Tate's chiseled exterior lies a soft heart, but it will take more than a few kind words to erase the past and convince her that what they have is real.

This book has been on my tbr for so long so I decided to pick it up finally and give it a go.
It was a cute and fun read. I enjoyed the chemistry between Emmie and Tate. They had so many cute moments that made me feel giddy.
It did bother me that they claimed to hate one another until they kissed once and suddenly they were crazy for one another. I think that's due to my annoyance that comes with books labeled as enemies to lovers when it's only that for the first few chapters.
I loved that this book showed the obstacles that follow women working in male dominant workplaces, especially surrounding workplace harassment or the fact that women have to work ten times harder to try to get taken seriously in their field.
This wasn't my favourite book. I feel like perhaps this book wasn't for me and that's okay! I'm glad I gave it a try
to begin with this review I want to start by saying Emmie was a bit relatable. from “faking” her personality at work because it's full of men to faking orgasms lol i relate a bit. i had a good time reading this. it made me laugh and cringe a little bit...but that's alright. for the amount of discomfort i would say between Tate and Emmie in the beginning, it had me stressed because how can Emmie overthink so much when you just met this man. as time went by they got closer as usual and it was all butterflies and roses. Emmie started crushing on Tate even though he would sometimes still be a bit rude to her. Tate was already in love but due to the past he didn't know how to get Emmie without fucking things up.
their relationship was really cute and goofy i really enjoyed them finally getting together. they reminded me of teenagers to be honest. the spiciness of the book was not much but it definitely suited the story. it was like a enemies to lovers type book with a slow burn i would say. it also had some parts that had me covering my mouth in gasp because of what was happening but i don't want to give spoilers since i think i already gave enough. overall great writing other than one line that did not pass but i won't let it affect my rating. good story build up, character development as well which i really loved especially with Tate. god how i love this man. Tate and Emmie reminded me of my boyfriend and i which i also really love.
another thing, Tate goiong down on Emmie because that's his own pleasure is AMAZING. thats it. i give it a 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for a debut book, Ms. Smith please make this into a series because the way in ended did not sit right with me !!!! if you like comedy, romance, even enemies to lovers or all in three this book is for you go and give it read !
