It’s just business, nothing personal.

Until you have to work with your ex.

Nothing PersonalNothing Personal by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 ‘Second time’s a charm?’ Stars

I always look forward to a Karina Halle book. Whether it’s suspenseful or drama-ful or romantic comedy, I always enjoy the stories she tells. Nova and Kessler’s story was no exception. They had many laugh out loud moments and totally blush-worthy moments as well that I felt like it was the perfect mesh.

Nova and Kessler had an affair (?) relationship (?) some five years prior. I feel like they both thought that that relationship (whatever you want to call it) had a different meaning than the other person thought it was. Confusing? I’m trying to make it simple and I feel like I’m making it worse. Nova thought they had some kind of connection that was meaningful and that they meant something to each other. While Kessler was into the relationship for primarily physical aspect. He wasn’t into commitment and obviously, Nova thought that that was exactly where they were headed. I don’t hate Kessler for breaking it off with Nova because that’s not where his head was at that moment. They were both pretty young at the time and he wasn’t ready to settle down at that moment. On the other hand, as a woman, I could totally get where Nova was coming from. I could see why she was hurt. As a woman, we tend to be more emotional creatures and our emotions get us into trouble -mainly with ourselves.

Fast forward five years and Nova and Kessler are in very different stages of their lives than when they were together. Kessler is now a single father to a toddler and Nova is a single woman trying to climb the corporate ladder. Obviously, Kessler has done a lot of growing up in the years that have passed and he sees the error of his ways with how he handled his situation with Nova. I don’t blame Nova for being guarded or even standoffish towards Kessler. It’s weird that I could see both povs. Usually, I can’t see from one perspective but with these two I could see from both.

This second chance-office romance was definitely a perfect way to end the year.

Happy Reading!!
