Let me tell you, this book had me grinning like a fool at 2 AM. Jiro and Lily's push-pull dynamic? Chef's kiss. That moment when Lily returns to Salt Lake City and has to work for the man she never stopped loving? I physically clutched my Kindle.

The sibling banter in this story is GOLD. There's this one scene where Jiro's sister roasts him so hard I actually snorted my tea. It's these little human moments that make the explosive chemistry between the main characters feel even more intense.

What surprised me most was how Ryan makes you feel every ounce of their stubbornness. There were times I wanted to shake both characters while simultaneously understanding exactly why they were being idiots. That office scene where they almost kiss but get interrupted? I nearly threw my phone across the room.

The emotional payoff when Jiro finally gets his head out of his... office? Absolutely worth every page of tension. That last chapter had me tearing up while smiling like a maniac. Pro tip: Don't read the final confession scene in public unless you're cool with strangers seeing you get emotional over fictional billionaires.
