Another Ali Hazelwood novella that was fun, hot and steamy! Perfect if you need a little bit of romance but can‘t commit to a full-length novel, which was the case for me.

However, while the novella format worked as adeptly as with the first, Under One Roof, I have to admit it war harder for me personally to feel as excited about this couple‘s story as for the one prior. I loved the premise of these two being stuck in an elevator (we definitely need more of that forced proximity scenes) but the framework of the story would have probably thrilled me more in a longer book. As much as I loved the chapters alternating between past and present to give us a good look at their relationship, a longer time span could have better built up the tension between them. This way - while it was still enjoyable - I didn‘t find myself as invested in their story because of how rushed it was, and also mainly due to the fact that the misunderstanding trope was too obvious, which made the climax of their story - untangling the misunderstanding - rather feel like finally overcoming the annoying part instead of relieving any tension.

Still, I felt the couple itself were quite a match, and I loved the dialogues and you might guess it, the steamy scenes. It might have not had me giggling and gasping, but it surely was a great story to quickly fly through on a quiet night. And since it is a novella after all, I don‘t mind the issues I have as much because I came for a quick and entertaining read, and Ali Hazelwood delivered that.
