Insanely boring almost-enemies-to-lovers trope for the first like 180 pages - and then the "forced proximity"stuff gets thrown at the reader.
For the love of god, stop abusing tropes like that in non-fanfiction writing. If your characters are painfully boring and unlikeable, tropes won't make the book any more interesting.

No but where are all those sex scenes coming from all of the sudden?
There's literally no chemistry going on between any of those people.

Genuinely, who's the target audience for this book?
But already more than one third finished so what's 220 more pages.

Probably shouldn't have started a 6th book before finishing one of the other 5 but oh well.
Picked this one because I thoroughly enjoyed "Weather Girl" by the same author. So far sadly not too convincing. All the characters are deeply to medium unlikeable at best.
