This was a well written and sweet book about two people struggling with their attraction for each other. It was a nice surprise that they mostly treat each other well (except for one big exception on Mia's part) and are both really likeable. In our words, their biggest challenge is really situational-- that they aren't supposed to date coworkers. I like books like that-- where the hero and heroine are essentially on the same side.... The fact that it begins with a hook up neither of them remembers is cute, and their memories come back gradually, which adds to the heat level since there is essentially no sex for most of the book. So the book ends up on the sweeter side, but well worth reading.… (altro)

This story can stand alone, though it has overlapping characters from Noelle August's first book titled BOOMERANG. Don't read these books in public places AND try to suppress your laughter, or you're likely to snort coffee from your nose. Just saying, been there, done that. Not pretty.
