Hard Place is the first book of a new series. It has so many tropes that I love (single mom, enemies to lovers, office romance and a fake relationship).

Harper is an amazing heroine. She is a single mom to two twin girls, she is hard working and it is so easy to love her, to root for her. No matter what she always has a good attitude and will make lemonade with lemons. Alex is like an onion, there are many layers to him. He is a CEO, a great brother and uncle, but has a complicated relationship with his father. I feel like there is still more to his character that we don’t know yet and maybe, Alex himself hasn’t discovered.

I love the chemistry between Alex and Harper. There is an instant attraction between them. Harper wants to hate Alex, but the more she gets to know him that becomes difficult. Alex wants more to life, he wants to different from his father, but Harper is his employee and he doesn’t want to risk anything. I love that Alex is willing to help Harper, he would probably do anything for her and even her sweet baby girls.

I devoured this book. I couldn’t put it down. I love the depth of the characters and the story. This is the first book and does end on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next one and to see where Harper and Alex’s story goes.
