"Meh, it's alright. Honestly hard to believe, even if you go into knowing it's a rom com. The characters change personalities without warning and act like socially stunted humans.

Not the worst thing I've ever read, but glad I only got the book from the library instead of purchasing it. 4/10."

These brothers have built this company from the group up and work very hard to make sure their employees need the proper training they need. Huxley says he wants to talk business with her and get to know her at the dinner. Lottie can't believe that she might have scored herself a rich husband just by taking a run through the rich neighborhood.

It sparked my passion for audiobooks and now 60+ books read- it is a source of joy in my life. ❤️ Will forever be thankful for rediscovering this part of myself after motherhood and the book that jump started it all. Huxley Cane! 👏"

Little does he know she’s already wrapped him up since their first encounter. Read this book to experience funny, steamy, and sassy conversations!! #firstofcanebrothersseries"
