Gah!
I am DESTROYED. How am I supposed to ever enjoy another romance after this? My heart has been ripped from my chest! You don’t even understand, this book killed me. I am dead.
This book was everything I hate; slow burn, boss/employee, terrible Canadian stereotypes, authors thinking they know about the world of advertising and design when clearly they don’t, single POV (we don’t hear from him once), and yet�.AND YET!
SHE MADE HIM A BETTER MAN! SHE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO LOVE!
*falls over from emotional exhaustion*

"Wow. I like her a lot. I like that she hasn’t been secretly in love with him for years. I like that she feels mild disdain for him. I like that she yelled at him and took him to task. I love when I like the FMC. I LOVE IT."

"It’s very obvious that the author has no idea of the breadth and scope graphic design work.it’s not book covers and tattoo design, in fact tattoo artists exist for tattoo design reasons and they conveniently locate themselves right in the tattoo shop.

"His reasons for not playing hockey are illogical. He didn’t like fighting so he played football instead. A full contact sport. And he plays defence.
I’m not defending hockey. I hate hockey. But I also hate football. So make it make sense."

YES YES YES!! so glad you enjoyed this, kristina! it's my favorite from this author, and one of the only books i have given 5 stars. i love aiden, my big, huge grumpy teddy bear <3 <3
He killed me at the end. Like I’m dead right now.
I love me a tall, dark, bearded and taciturn Canadian man. But man, I have a serious book hangover now.
Awwwwwww! So glad you enjoyed it!
Can you enjoy something that rips your heart out of your chest?😆
You don’t even know how happy I am that you enjoyed this 😭
I have been calling my husband aiden all night.
It makes it even better when you get your heart ripped out! Glad you enjoyed it!
💔 it was worth it. Lol
Omg omg I love that you loved it!!!!!!
Your poor husband. We need to all call our husbands Aiden now 🤣🤣🤣
It’s his own fault for being tall, dark and bearded. He is now Aiden and a vegan. He will likely object to the second thing more.
This review. ❤️ I agree that this was a bag of tropes I don't normally love, but damn it was just so good.
Right? It proved I am wrong about everything.
How the actual heck am I only seeing this review now???? OMG, I need to read this ASAP
Someone liked this review tonight. It’s nostalgic for me� back when I enjoyed a book 😭 *don’t mind me, I’ll be over here being dramatic*
You don't like it now?! *Gasp*
This is one that goes against a lot that I don't normally like. But I loved it.
No, no I still like this one. I just mean I haven’t liked a book in awhile. Everything I said in this review still stands. This one is still the goat of slow burn, he falls first, MOC contemporary.
ah you were really enjoying books back then🥹
I’ve read this book 3 times already and I still love it so much Sigh
Gaaaahhh 🫶🥹
