Her Favorite Rival

A new meaning for office politics Audrey Mathews has worked hard to get here. Now she's up for a promotion and nothing will stand in her way—including Zach Black. He's hot, smart and the competition. When they're assigned to the same project, she's shocked at how much she actually likes about him…and how much she misjudged him. Before long Audrey is seriously falling for Zach—and indulging in an affair that's against company policy. And the stakes rise when it's clear only one of them can get ahead. So where do they draw the line between competition and love? Especially when she doesn't want to lose either the promotion or the guy….

I read this! How did I not review it?! I loved this story! What a great enemies to lovers romance, especially with the way the office politics were handled. I never felt icky watching these two rivals compete and fall in love. I also loved seeing a heroine who dropped out of high school, got her GED, and never went to college, yet is still succeeding and making her own way, even if her family is being a turd about it. So often romance heroines are expected to be "perfect" in every way, and I like how Mayberry pushes these boundaries. Audrey is exceptional, just in her way. I love to see it. In the same vein, Zach's backstory was also super compelling, and seeing Audrey learn he isn't just a rich pretty boy with everything was so important. Also seeing her show up for Zach and not trying to "fix" his relationship with his addict mother was lovely. I didn't even mention the sexy steamy chemistry! OFF THE CHARTS. CW: addiction (Zach's mother is addicted to heroin and struggling)
