Partner Track
Making a case for love has never been so complicated in this fresh, funny rivals-to-lovers romance.
Perdie Stone needs just three things in life: Her forever best friend, Lucille. Their adorable rescue pug, Bananas. And last but not least, a coveted partnership at her Charleston law firm.
A partnership she more than deserves when she goes head-to-head with hotshot Ivy League attorney Carter Leplan on a big case and comes out on top. She didn’t think anything would feel better than beating the annoyingly gorgeous lawyer at his own game, but that's before a freak storm leaves them both stranded.
Together.
In the last hotel room.
With only one bed.
It’s a one-night stand Perdie isn’t soon to forget…especially after Carter turns up at her firm and slides right into the job that should have been hers. And right back into her life—a life she thought she had all figured out.

Plot
Perdie Stone only requires three things in life: Lucille, her lifelong best friend. Bananas, their cute rescue pug. And she was offered a coveted partnership position at her Charleston law company.
When she won against hotshot Ivy League attorney Carter Leplan on a case, she knew that she has done well. Until, they're both stranded by a strange storm with only one room and one bed to share. When their paths keep crossing repeatedly, how would Perdie handle it?
Thoughts
This book had all the tropes you could think of: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, office romance and age gap. But it didn't give a strong impact.
The perspective of an older woman-younger portrayed Perdie to be more immature than Carter. The book also focused more on the sex element as a means for Perdie and Carter to get together but the smut did not deliver it at all. There wasn't a proper direction plot wise and a lot was left unanswered, I felt like I was reading it only because I wanted to get to the end.
There were also no trigger warnings in the book but there should have been. Some triggers to watch out for: sexual harassment, death of a pet, misogyny
