My Review:Do you love a good sexy, nerd story? If so, you need to read this book. I liked it.Scott and Cassy have been best friends forever. He's a brilliant scientist. She's an accountant. Scott is in the process of developing a ground-breaking nano technology that could mean everything for him in business and technology. The issue...it's almost ready to go, but he doesn't have the funding to produce his product...and the competition is breathing down his neck trying to steal his invention out from underneath him. His solution...call Cassy for help. She's smart, she's savvy, and she's more socially graceful than him which is important as he's trying to woo an investor.For Cassy, she needs the boost. She's been running her own accounting company for a while and is admittedly very bored. She's excited about the challenges Scott's company could provide...the one catch, working so closely with Scott since she's in love with him.There was a lot more to this story than I expected. It's a friends to lovers trope which I adore, but the problem with becoming involved with your best friend is that they already know you and your needs... at least they think they do. I had to giggle at the beginning of the romance when Scott would do something that Cassy has always suggested he do for girls, but then she would get ticked off because she knew the reasons she would suggest he do those things...like give wildflowers when you're trying to let a girl down easy. Scott is incredibly smart, but when it comes to women, he's clueless. Before now, he's always gone to Cassy for advice. He can't do that now and he's floundering.But in other ways, that intimate knowledge of each other worked to strengthen them too. When it came to Scott's father, Cassy could see past all Scott's bluster and anger to the vulnerability below. I loved that depth of knowledge. A new relationship wouldn't be able to spot those emotions and would have just been hurt by the anger. That's why I love friends to lovers stories and this one was a fun one. I liked the whole business aspect and what the two of them are trying to do with Scott's company. I wasn't sure how it was all going to turn out, but in the end it worked and worked well. This was definitely a winner in my opinion.I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
