"What a charming, warm, sexy gem of a novel....One of the best books I've read in a while."--Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Hunger

Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Alexa Monroe wouldn't normally do. But there's something about Drew Nichols that's too hard to resist.

On the eve of his ex's wedding festivities, Drew is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend....

After Alexa and Drew have more fun than they ever thought possible, Drew has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a pediatric surgeon, and Alexa heads home to Berkeley, where she's the mayor's chief of staff. Too bad they can't stop thinking about the other....

They're just two high-powered professionals on a collision course toward the long distance dating disaster of the century--or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want....

It was pure fluff but I but I needed something that was a good counterpart for the previous book that I read which is LA confidential series book 1: The Black Dahlia.
Boy meets girl in elevator. Girl has snacks stored in purse during elevator getting stuck which leads to a wedding date and then some ;-). But can they build a relationship after that?

did not enjoy this one at all, confusing chemistry, she deserves much better, they both need therapy and he probably needs anger management, the whole thing was just sex and anxiety, not what I'd call fluffy at all to be honest

Cute story, very cliche, dragged on and on. No real climax.

Fun bit of candy. Easy read for someone who is just getting back into ready after a really, really long time. Works well as a palate cleanse.

Fun romance with a believable Black woman at the center. Predictable, but sometimes that’s enjoyable. It moved fast, and I was rooting for them the whole way.
