He’s my new boss.
So what if I’ve secretly been crushing on him for years? Or that he’s sexy, tempting, smells like heaven, and makes my girly parts twitch? He’s also sweet, caring, and everything I’d want in a man… if I wanted one.
Which I don’t.
Falling in love is the last thing I want right now. I’m not even sure I believe in love anymore. It leads to heartbreak and that’s an emotional rollercoaster I’m not interested in riding.
Which makes the next few months the biggest challenge of my life. Spending hours alone with him, working side-by-side late into the night, keeping my hormones in check when I get a whiff of his intoxicating scent…
I can handle this. I’ll just repress my feelings the same way I have been since the moment we met. Masked by a fake smile and practiced deep breathing.
How hard can it be?
When he starts making promises, it becomes harder than I ever imagined. Because I want him to keep those promises even though I know he won’t be able to. I won’t let him.
It’s the only way to keep myself from falling in love with him. Because if I do, I may never recover.

MY REVIEW
Piper no longer believes in love and happy ever after. All of her friends have paired up and she might admit to feeling a tad envious, but she knows that's not in the cards for her. When she is apprenticed to her friend Julian's restaurant, though, things slowly take on a twist that she never saw coming. Her feelings for Julian may have always been a bit more than just friendly, but she never did anything about it. Now working in such close proximity with him, those feelings are coming out and it seems like he might have the same for her. Can she allow him into her heart, or is she too closed off to allow friendship to morph into much more?
Little does Piper know, but Julian has been in insta-love with her for years, he was just stuck in the friendzone and had no idea how to get out. Now that they're working so closely together, he's not sure if he can keep his feelings hidden any longer. Can the girl who's given up on love and the guy who's in love with her, turn friendship into love?
This is a sweet friends to lovers read. I like how the two slowly admitted their feelings, the feelings that had really been there for a long time and I found each character to be a sweetheart and was rooting for them to get their HEA. I am definitely looking forward to more of the Lake State University series now.
Meet Rachael Brownell
Rachael Brownell is an award-winning author of young adult and new adult romance.
Rachael lives in Michigan with her husband, son, snuggly dog, and hateful cat. She moonlights as a bartender a few days a week (her excuse to get out of the house and socialize) and writes almost full time.
Her first book was published way back in 2013 and since she’s released 30 additional titles. She writes all kinds of romance – dark, sexy, sweet.
When she’s not writing her next novel, you can find her hanging out with her family, watching her son play baseball, or running on the treadmill at the gym (though she skips more days than she goes). She also enjoys golfing but is still learning, so if you see her on the course… stand back.
