Many thanks to Harlequin Romance, Afterglow, The Hive for the ARC of this book!
Pandora Fyffe is a software engineer and the company she’s working for is celebrating, using a celebrity surfer Ozzy Wilder. Then she’s fired. She begins working at a new company, developing a travel app – matching travelers and a trip. She also has a new neighbor – none other than Ozzy Wilder. The app has matched her and Ozzy and those backing the app want her and Ozzy to go on their trip together. But she has a love/hate relationship with Ozzy and wants to stay away from him. If she doesn’t do this, however, she can kiss her dream job goodbye. What she doesn’t expect is how the trip ends.
I really wanted to love this book. It has the bones to be a really great book. There’s some really great romance tropes – enemies to lovers, close proximity, he falls first, workplace romance, but it just never felt like it all came together and clicked. I wanted to feel more chemistry between the two characters. I never felt like it was there.
Honestly, Ozzy was so annoying to Pandora for the first part of the book and that’s how she kept talking about it that I never looked at him another way. I found him to be equally annoying. I think that really set the tone for the whole book for me and the tone never changed.
It wasn’t a terrible read, it just wasn’t fantastic either. It was just okay.
