Low angst Age gap Boss + Employee Opposites Attract Forced Proximity Forbidden Romance Dual first person pov This was really good! I'm still new to this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. I love yearning and a slow build romance as long as the push and pull makes sense (I'm not into angst) so Thatcher and Pierce dancing around their attraction while being sweet and patient with one another hit all my buttons. Thatcher is a bit of a walking disaster while Pierce is constantly put together and organized. There are enough similarities between them to make their attraction work, though. Plus, aside from the attraction, they genuinely like each other. Even though first person present pov is not my thing the characters and story held my attention and I got a little choked up when they had to deal with their forbidden romance in a fairly logical manner. I love that Pierce was worried about the power imbalance, it was refreshing to see in a boss+employee romance. I liked the final solution to their problem and the epilogue had HEA vibes that tied everything up nicely, however, I think the epilogue was labeled incorrectly and definitely had a few timeline discrepancies that bothered me.
