The Takeover

I just finished The Takeover by Cara Tanamachi and here are my thoughts.

Nami has just turned 30 and her life isn't what she was expecting. She is feeling the loneliness of being alone after her fiance cheated on her and the company she started is in trouble. Her sister is getting married and it's showing Nami just how far behind her life has gotten behind. When she wishes on a birthday candle for a soul mate, her wish drops her nemesis from high school back into her life...

Jae Lee. Beat her out for valedictorian was just the icing on her hate cake. He is the lead shark in the hostile takeover of her company and neither of them like to lose. Problem is, there is a very fine line between love and hate....

When I read the synopsis for the book I was like, meh, sure why not! It sounded ok.... IT WAS BRILLIANT!! This book took my expectations and launched it to jupiter. It was well written, funny and so entertaining I finished it within an evening. Couldn't put it down. It was genius. I was chuckling. I was tearing up. I was on the emotional rollercoaster of a lifetime and the ending was pure magic!

I love books with really good banter between characters and Jae was amazing as far as lead men go. Yes, he had his moments of being a bit of a butthole but Nami wasn't exactly a peach sometimes either. I'm a hopeless romantic and watching people fall in love is my jam... This book gave it to me in spades. Nami is scrappy and fierce. We get to see from both hers and Jae's POV. It made for a really well rounded read. The business takeover was a really fun plot and I liked that it all worked out in the end.

I am a huge fan of weddings and Nami's sister throws my kind of wedding!!

As far as rom-coms go this one is in my top 5.

5 stars.
