When Sadie is at the coffee shop trying to get the croissant that she “has” to have before her pitch to a new client (or else – you know how superstition works), she’s dismayed to find there aren’t any left. Out of nowhere, a croissant shows up in front of her. Eric, another engineer who works at a rival firm also located in her building, offers the last one to her, silently, and leaves. Sadies runs after him to say thank you to the man she privately calls “Corporate Thor” and they strike up a conversation. They realize that they have a lot in common, starting with an immense love for “real” football. After a wonderful dinner and a night of monumentally good sex, Sadie finds out that he is actually one of the partners in the rival firm and responsible for her losing the pitch, using info he supposedly gathered during their time together. Feeling betrayed, she never answers the numerous texts and calls coming from Eric. She manages to avoid him for three weeks until Fate intervenes and locks them together in an elevator late on a Friday night. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they will have to talk.
Told from Sadie’s POV in first person, this is a cute novella. Sadie is quirky and funny with her gazillion superstitions and love of football. All we know of Eric is through Sadie’s eyes, so we first swoon, then hate, then swoon again until they reach their HEA.
Cute story, short audiobook. Great for when you want something light and quick.
Narration: solo narration by Meg Sylva (new to me) who does a great job. This story is out in audio first. The e-book comes out in June ’22.
