Pearl Harris has been burnt by love too many times. Now she leads with her head and not her heart and she’s risen through the ranks at her new company OurCode. Cord Matthews fell for Pearl years ago when they worked together at a Tech company he owned. He fell in love but Pearl didn’t take a risk on them and took a job across the country. Now, years later, their paths cross and both of them are leary of getting involved. Pearl is still not letting her heart make decisions for her and Cord is gun-shy when it comes to relationships, but that chemistry is still sizzling.

It was really easy to drop into this story and connect with both Pearl and Cord. I liked both of their characters a lot and could certainly understand why they felt like they did about love and relationships. I did get distracted by the back and forth between real time and their past. Just when I’d finally get into the emotional dynamics of Pearl in the current day the chapter would end and I’d have to try to connect and understand the past Pearl. I’ll admit flashbacks are not my favorite things to read and I did struggle with that aspect of this novel.

The thing I loved the most about our heroine, Pearl, is that she knew what she wanted and she was very focused on getting it. Specifically when it came to her career. A lot of time was spent informing the reader about how responsible, direct, and awesome Pearl was at her job. I love a strong heroine, but I kind of feel like a little too much time was spent with Pearl’s indecision about Cord. It didn’t fit with who she was in her business life. I wish she had figured herself out a little sooner because I became impatient with her emotional see-saw.

Needless to say, I felt pretty indifferent to our main character which made it hard to root for Pearl and Cord in their romance. Did I root for her to get the job? Absolutely! I just wasn’t sure she was the right person for Cord. He was ready to go all in from the get go and Pearl’s indecisiveness spoiled the romance for me. ❤️❤️❤️
