From stabbing him with a cake fork, to garrotting him with his expensive tie, Dylan has thought of everything.However, a chance encounter opens his eyes to the attraction that has always lain between them, concealed by the layers of antipathy. There are only two problems - Gabe is still a bastard, and he makes wedding planners look like hardened pessimists.But what happens when Dylan starts to see the real Gabe? What happens when he starts to fall in love with the warm, wary man that he sees glimpses of as the days pass? Because Gabe is still the same commitment shy, cold man that he's always been, or is he? Has Dylan had the same effect on Gabe, and has his solid gold rule of no commitment finally been broken? With his heart taken Dylan desperately needs to know, but will he get hurt trying to find the answers?From the author of 'The Summer of Us' comes another scorchingly hot romantic comedy, showing what happens between two men when rules get broken.

Office romances are usually not my thing but this book had me hooked from the first page. The characters, their banter and overall romance just kept me glued to my iPad and by the time I finished the book, I realized it was 3.00 in the morning. What better way to spend a sleepless night!!!!
Both Dylan and Gabe are excellent characters to read about. They are sassy, confident, smart, excellent at their jobs and even better at trying to one up the other with their witty comebacks. Their banter is definitely not what you would call usual office protocol, but it works for them and makes for a very entertaining read. I couldn't stop laughing at Gabe's various complaints or Dylan's accidental “mixups”. I could read a whole book about just their day-to-day office activities.
Obviously, all this outwardly sniping at each other is just to hide their mutual attraction. The UST is so palpable that even their best friends Jude and Henry can see through it but takes a lot more time for them to acknowledge it. But once they give in, it makes way for a lot of sexy times. And then comes a whole load of angst and conflict because Dylan is all in with his heart but Gabe has a lot of intimacy and commitment issues due to childhood trauma.
I loved all the side characters in the book. Both Jude and Henry are wonderful friends and only want what's best for their friends. Dylan's family is a delightful group and I loved Christmas at their house. Gabe's dynamic with them was also very unexpected and shows a vulnerable side to him that he is usually very careful to hide. There are also other entertaining cameos throughout which kept the book interesting despite the troubling times.
If you love office romances, then you shouldn't miss out on this one. This is a wonderful fun read with loads of British humor (which took some getting used to) and characters whom you grow to love. Can't wait to read the next book about Jude.
Gabe's a dick, and Dylan is nothing if not consistently stupid.
“I trust that you love me, and won't do anything to jeopardise that trust.” Ah, yes. A wonderful and reasonable thing to say to someone who has done nothing but jeopardize the trust you place in him
Loved this read, the tension between the two characters was fantastic. I just wish there was more enemies for the enemies to lovers story. There was attraction from the start, I wanted more hatred between the characters from the beginning.
