I found this one to be a fun read! The opening chapter was amusing when we saw Jules and Leo in their first interaction. They certainly had a connection but Jules wasn’t a strong person back they and thought that Leo was the player she heard he was.
Jumping into the future and Jules was a strong confident woman who was determined to show Leo her worth for his business. She wanted to take on one of his hotels but he was reluctant to give her a go until he needed a favour from her. This helped them connect more and it was entertaining to see their relationship grow.
Honestly, these two were good together. The more time they spent together the more compatible they appeared. They both had times where they were hesitant to lay all they cards on the table, but it was only a matter of time. They had great chemistry and were driven to succeed in anything they put their minds too.

I hate my boss. Like, loathe him. Two years ago, he semi-broke my heart and he still doesn’t remember who I am. Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny?
Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel.
When he needs a fake fiancĂ© for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.
It’s a perfect plan until he remembers when we first met.
Things suddenly shift and now he’s looking at me with eyes that see straight through to the real me, touching me with hands that make me weak and kissing me with a mouth that threatens to do things to me they don’t even talk about in movies.
There’s just one wrinkle. I don’t trust him not to break my heart again.
