There’s always been that whole idea that you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, and I love that Niko and Sybil kind of show just why that shouldn’t happen in this short story. I mean, ultimately it does work out. Because it’s a cute contemporary romance, but it’s still nice to have that whole don’t miss business with pleasure challenges highlighted.

This wasn’t exactly my favourite romance, but it was still very cute. I enjoyed the story though. I just didn’t find the characters to be the kind that I tend to connect to. Sybil was fairly independent and driven, which I normally love in a lead female, but I think I’ve just been reading characters of a totally different calibre, and this just didn’t quite compete.

All in all, I seriously enjoyed reading this short story. But, I must admit, that it’s really Marley the husky who is my favourite character. There is just something about a fun and energetic dog that always steals the show.
