by Nicki Bell – Many thanks to Nicki for the gifted digital copy of her new workplace rivals romance! Below is my honest review.

Scarlett is one of Manhattan’s top realtors, fiercely determined to make partner at her firm. Her path to success seems clear: land the lucrative contract to sell a new development of high-end condos. Winning this deal would secure her a promotion over her insufferable office rival and enable her to finally purchase the brownstone she’s dreamed of since childhood. However, Scarlett’s competition extends beyond her own office. Enter Jack, a charismatic realtor from a rival agency, who unexpectedly shares the contract with Scarlett. Now, the two must navigate a contentious partnership, with Scarlett convinced Jack is sabotaging her at every turn. But as they spend more time together, Scarlett begins to see Jack in a new light—his kindness, work ethic, and fun-loving nature gradually break down her walls. As her feelings deepen, Scarlett’s carefully curated life starts to unravel, forcing her to confront her ambitions, fears, and the emotions she’s kept tightly guarded.

This rivals-to-lovers romance is a vibrant, fast-paced read set against the backdrop of New York City. Bell combines luxury real estate, corporate intrigue, and romantic tension, all while throwing in some memorable moments: a trust fall atop a skyscraper, a scheming ex, a heartwarming neighbor, and plenty of strategic snooping to keep you guessing. The Love Development is a fun, high-stakes love story where ambition and romance collide in the city that never sleeps.
