         This was suppose to be read first but oh well. I really liked October and Mae in The Red Zone but I didn’t like Abel as much, he seemed a bit flat throughout the book and didn’t have me giggling kicking my feet like the other book did. Though he had a personality at least in this book. He was completely forgotten about in the Red Zone. An afterthought. I LOVED Scarlett tho! She is the book girlfriend! I related to her so much and she was just great. 
I liked the fake dating trope in here tho. The boss employee romance not so much. The big reveal I already knew from the Red Zone so it only frustrated me more   when it was happening. Like yelling at the book. 
It took me so long to realize why he calls her Red. I know I’m dumb. 
There was not really an explanation on how they met Lea but I assume it was when Scarlett brought the team muffins. Hopefully it’s in Lea’s book. But the mentions of Lea in these books doesn’t leave much to be told in her book because
we basically know she got with Fortune against her father’s rules and got pregnant. I still really dislike the epilogue in the Red Zone with the pregnancies. Pregnancy in the epilogue is second worse to the surprise pregnancy trope. Why is it so common?
