Book Summary:
IT STARTED WITH A CUP…

Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person.

But when she’s running late for her first day at a dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” 3x with no answer, she does the unthinkable.

Izzy takes that PSL.

It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only waaaay further ahead in the line, so she mutters “I’m Amy” and grabs the cup.

But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising until he says the words, “See you tomorrow, Amy.”

Uh, oh – she’ll definitely have to straighten him out the following day.

Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips – the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might’ve been charming to “Amy,” but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who dos not find her explanation funny at all.
(Summary from Goodreads)

Izzy: “You’re not the boss of me.”
Blake: “I am quite literally the boss of you.”

Review/Thoughts:
I’m quickly learning that if Lynn Painter writes a book, I’m probably going to absolutely adore it.

This book was an easy and quick read, it had me smiling and giggling the whole time. It was adorable and quirky. I couldn’t put it down!

I felt Izzy & Blake’s chemistry immediately, but it was fun to watch their relationship grow into friendship, and then into something more. I particularly enjoyed their flirting and banter! My only complaint is that both characters were a bit immature, and this ended up feeling a bit more like a young adult romance.

This was a cute and enjoyable read!
