Books are often compared to food flavors. Some are spicy, some are insipid or bitter, others are like candy... 
 This office romance had a strawberry flavor, like the fruit Lucy's parents were growing in their farm, something sweet but still with a strong flavor and some punch. 
 The blurb insisted on the original hatred going on between the h/H, but I honestly couldn't find it in this novel. Lucy, from the beginning, had her mixed feelings confused, and just couldn't see what was as plain to the reader as it was to her colleagues. 
 I particularly liked the character building and the backstory. Nothing transcendent, but something rather common, and thus believable. The topic was well handled, and made Joshua's character likeable. 
 The romance was rather slow paced, but the story managed to keep me interested until the last page. Nice.
