Technically Yours

"Really cute! Enjoyed this sweet story"

"Cute and spicy tech/ STEM second chance romance."

"I love a good romance and Denise never fails to make you feel the every varied emotion. The storyline was fluid as we watched their lives unfold and the main relationships were conveyed beautifully. A solid contemporary romance up to the very end that leaves you content with their story being over."

"Cord Matthews has been hopelessly in love with Pearl Harris since they stepped on the same elevator years ago. Unsure of her feelings Cord is content just to be in the same space with Pearl until one fateful evening he finally decides to risk it all. <br/><br/>After being burned by one bad relationship Pearl believes she must always lead with her head and not her heart. Although she had feelings for Cord she knows she must leave him behind in order to pursue her career. Pearl moves to California to start what she hopes is her dream job.<br/><br/>Fast-forward 5 years and Pearl is finally back in Cord's orbit. Pearl is the newly appointed interim-director of a non-profit organization OurCode and he's reluctantly accepted a position on their board of directors. As the pair become reacquainted they both realize that what they both felt years ago wasn't a fluke. Can these two put the past behind them, can Pearl find a way to follow her dreams and finally give love a try?<br/><br/>I'd been waiting to get the rest of Pearl and Cord's story since being introduced to them in The Fastest Way to Fall. The obvious chemistry between them made me want to know more and yet the "conflict" was a bit frustrating at times especially when it could have been easily managed. It can be a bit frustrating when the MC builds up a potential outcome and when the secret is out it's easily resolved. Overall it was a good read and I loved being able to catch up with some of the characters from the previous story."

"This was my first Denise Williams book, and it did not disappoint, from the writing to the characters and the spice. Technically Yours is a second-chance romance told in dual povs with alternating past and present timelines. I'm not always a really big fan of second chances, but I thought this was done well, The main characters, Cord and Pearl, meet in the past when Pearl starts work at Cord's workplace. They have to navigate their attraction and connection because Cord is technically above Pearl in the company. Pearl, because of a previous bad relationship, does not allow herself to be fully present and leaves Cord behind. In the present timeline, we see that Pearl is back working with Cord and doing well in her job. Throughout the book, we get to see them connect and reconnect again while also finding out what happened with their relationship in the past. <br/><br/>I thought the main characters were very realistic, and even when I was frustrated with Pearl, I thought her actions were real. I also liked Cord, and how he was thoughtful, patient, and just wanted to support Pearl. I didn't particularly care for the conflict of why they couldn't be together, but there was great chemistry, steam, and tension between our main characters. Overall a good read, I recommend this book to anyone that likes second-chance romance with a diverse mc. <br/><br/>Thank you, Berkley Publishing and Netgalley, for this arc."
