MINE FOR A MOMENT is author Catharina Maura's latest book.

The tropes of the story are:

Brother's best friend 

Friends to lovers 

One-sided love 

Sneaking around 

Workplace romance 

Serenity and Theo have been best friends for a long time, with Serenity hoping Theo will recognise the love she has for him. As time nears for them to leave college days behind to start their professional life, Theo starts dating their mutual friend. The rejection and shock of losing Theo to someone else pushes Serenity into the arms of Archer who comforts her, in the absence of his brother. 

Spending time and talking things out with Archer changes things for both Serenity and Archer.  As they start working together both start seeing more in each other and have one too many feelings they can't ignore. So will they give into this forbidden attraction for a moment or more?

• The best part of the story for me was the relationship between Serenity and Archer. It's hot, fun, intense, sexy and emotional with a bit of angst too. 
• There's the twist towards the end which was emotional, frustrating and the equivalent of a villain in their story. 
• The family unit of Serenity, her parents, and her sibling is one of warmth and the way they include Archer is full of fond family vibes.
• It's the kind of story you might've read in another setting, however, if you are a fan of or looking for a quick-paced one with an emotional roller coaster and of course if you are a fan of the author you will enjoy this. 

For a fun, light, but emotional read MINE FOR A MOMENT might just hit the spot for you.
