Before they realize they are on opposite sides of a hostile business takeover, two people meet for a hookup.
NOT IN LOVE
Regret Siebert is accustomed to moving toward everything the same way - everything from distance.
She has no romantic relationships, despite the fact that she is successful professionally as a biotech engineer at Kline, a food science startup
Rue encounters a challenge she could not have foreseen as she begins to reevaluate her dating strategy.
It just so happens, Eli is driving a threatening takeover of Kline, and he has individual explanations behind needing to own this arrangement as far as possible.
Rue's first thought is to tell Eli to forget her number when they bump into each other in the Kline office the morning after a memorable date. However, Rue and Eli keep giving in to their attraction at the worst possible times no matter how hard they try to fight it.
A no-strings-attached affair is supposed to be a compromise and a way for them to get out of each other's way. However, other issues could prevent them from even thinking about something deeper and more lasting.
Overall the book is one of the best of Ali Hazelwood, it is fast pace romantic novel and better than his last one.
