Casey Maitland is a finance analyst trying to get a project manager job to prove she can do more than just numbers. However, she learns that she is not getting the job. Instead, they are giving it to the board chairman’s son. Casey, livid by the obvious nepotism, vows to hate Alex Harrison for a long time. This vow is put to the test when everyone loves Alex, and the two are put together on the same project. This project could mean big things for both Alex and Casey. For Alex, its proof that he belongs. For Casey, its being promoted to London.
As the two spend more and more time together, the chance for something more increases. However, neither can anticipate the corporate world and its politic mess. Will the job destroy any potential the two have, personally and professionally?
This is a workplace romance where the workplace is pretty much more important than the romance at times. The plot revolves around finance and workplace politics, but the author manages to make the dialogues and interactions feel witty and fluid and real. I actually felt like I was back in the Accounts Receivable department of the hospital. I read a few reviews that say this is an enemies-to-lovers trope, but it really doesn’t feel like that. It was more a one-sided grudge that was gone after 3 or 4 chapters.
I related to Casey, because I have quite a bit of anxiety. I also love numbers. I agree that numbers don’t let you down like art can. I didn’t feel as much for Alex because there wasn’t much in his POV. Which bothered me because quite a bit of the workplace politics involves him and his father. I did feel all of the things Casey did, in the order she felt them, because of the different conflict points.
Overall, I rate this novel 4 out of 5 stars.
