The Assignment by Penelope Ward
5.0

Aspyn works with the elderly at a facility as an activities coordinator. She enjoys her job, but her latest assignment is something that she quickly dreads when someone from her past pops up and they are forced to spend some time together. The someone? Her best friends ex from high school who she spent plenty of time playing pranks on.

I loved Aspyn and Troy. I loved seeing them go from complete enemies to forming a friendship and it slowly building into something more. They have amazing chemistry and always did from the start, even when they were considering each other enemies.

Troy’s Nonno was a great secondary character. He was hilarious and I loved everything he added to their story. Plus, his relationship advice was priceless. Aspyn’s niece is also a great addition to the story and I loved her connection with Troy, too.

If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers, slow burn this is one to check out.
