This book focuses on Jamie, the younger brother of Roman from the original duology.
I personally found him a more likeable male lead.
The summary tells you what's going to happen and though there are a few lil twists along the way you know basically where the plot is heading. But it's the fun in getting there.
I loved the side characters, the greedy cat, the building not only of tension but of the friendship between Jamie and Alena.
So if you want a fun little romcom, with a lot of familiar tropes in an easy to digest package, I would really recommend it.

Great Plot, it needs a part 2
I loved this story. Opposites attract. He’s all basketball. She’s all business. So good! Please write a part 2 cause I need more of this couple. And Lady Susan.
