Constant side-eye and insane expectations are just the tip of the iceberg.
He knows how to push my buttons and walks around like he owns the place.
And the way he acts after a literal office run-in? Forget it.
Luckily, I’ve found a special someone on Privately, the newest, hottest dating app.
Sure, it has an air of mystery to it, but I like the suspense.
But now that it’s time to meet, anxiety is creeping in.
In Privately’s world, there’s no telling who or what will come your way.
Let’s just hope it’s not anyone terrible.

This was the first time I’d read something by this author and I loved it. Elena works a job she’s over qualified for. She’s not treated that well, until Jason arrives, to sort out the failing company. He is attracted to Elena but fights it and takes his frustrations out on her. She has a bit of a lust and hate thing going with him. He’s her temporary boss though and office relationships aren’t allowed. The highlight of her days are her conversations with Bear on the dating app Privately. He is everything she could want in a man until he suggests they meet and they both discover something surprising. Bear is none other than Jason from work. This can either work or be a total disaster.
This is book one in the Barrett Brothers series. This was a great introduction into a new series and I am definitely interested in reading more. This book is about Elena and Jason. These two characters are just an interesting match. Jason is Elena’s boss, Elena believes that Jason hates her and Jason doesn’t truly hate Elena but likes her and hates his feelings that he as for her as they work together. Of course to add fuel to the fire, neither one of these characters has had a positive experience with love and a past that has shaded this whole relationship thing in one form or another. If that isn’t enough, well add in a dating app, Privately. This all just adds to the story line makes for an interesting read. Elena and Jason share some witty conversations and provide all the entertainment a reader needs. I will be keeping my eye out for book two.

I throughly enjoyed this book. From the very beginning I fell for Elena and her quirky personality. There were so many times throughout the story that I wanted to cry for her but I loved that she didn’t give up and never played the victim. I wasn’t sure what to think of Jason at first but I quickly stumbled into love for him and all his male alpha-ness. I loved the banter between Jason and Elena and was rooting for them to have a happily ever after. Even though my heart broke several times, I shed some tears and wanted to throw my kindle a few times…I also cried tears of laugher more times than I can count. Such a great book, I can’t wait to pick up the next one in this series.
The great character and storyline development hooked me right from the beginning and as I turned each and every page I felt like Elena and Jason jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
Debut book!
Debut author!
I’m still in shock because I devoured this book.
The characters had depth and realism.
The storyline has layers.
The sexual tension is soo freakin fantastic…I couldn’t wait until they finally gave in to their passion.
I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers stories.
Privately was smart, engaging and truly an enjoyable read.
If you love office romance, enemies to lovers…sexy snarky characters- grab this gem!

This book was awesome! I loved Jason and Elena and the chemistry they shared. It was hot and steamy! Elena and Jason have had their share of being cheated on. Jason is hired as Elena’s new boss and he is very sexy but he has given Elena a hard time since the beginning. Jason has his own reasons for giving her a hard time. She is so tempting. They are both experimenting with a dating app called Privately. And unknown to each other, they are matches. They have so much in common texting each other but they can’t send face pictures. Then after a long awaited time, they meet.
