Stirring Up Love by Chandra Blumberg – Thoughts and Review

A cute enemies to lovers romance with no smut but lustful suggestions. Simone and Finn are inexplicably thrown together in a business deal that, while it has its own pros and cons as all business deals do, it might be the only chance at both getting to where they want to be successful.
