Calder and Felix meet under less than auspicious circumstances but that doesn’t stop these two likeable characters falling into “insta lust”. I really enjoyed their journey as the romance morphed from insta lust to friends to dating and finally arriving at their HEA. They spent time getting to really know and learn about each other. This is where we discover that there’s much more to Calder than the super competitive, win at all costs persona he presents to the world. We also see the baggage carried by Felix and how that seriously affects his choices regarding dating, commitment, etc.

The romance element is very sweet with many low heat intimately tender scenes that beautifully show the connection between Calder and Felix. My favourite side character is young Charlotte who is so wonderfully unique and had me laughing out loud at times.

I found this to be a lovely, enjoyable and engaging low angst romance with two strong but complex main characters that kept things interesting.
