Synopsis
Nova Lane is having the worst week possible. Her latest relationship ended while on her much-needed vacation, then upon her first day back at work, she learns that her beloved boss has quit – and despite having worked so hard for it, she’s not being considered for his position.
Who is being considered for the position is none other than Kessler Rocha. Her ex-coworker and ex-lover, Kessler’s the man who broke her heart five years earlier and the reason she moved thousands of miles away, switched jobs, and created numerous voodoo dolls in Kessler’s (very burly, very handsome) liking.
Yup. Worst week ever.
New in town and on her turf, Kessler promises he’s not the same man he was – and considering he’s now a single father to a precocious toddler, he’s telling the truth.
But he’s still an arrogant and devilishly charming man who’s taking over the position Nova feels she deserves. The fact that he’s gotten even more sexy over the years doesn’t help either.
Now Nova and Kessler have the choice to let bygones be bygones, or fight with each other every chance they get, with unresolved sexual tension only adding fuel to the flames, creating a fire that might just burn down the whole office.
In the corporate world they say it’s just business, nothing personal.
Nova and Kessler are about to show just how personal things can get.

My Review
‘NOTHING PERSONAL’
Is a full length stand alone romantic comedy novel by Karina Halle. Dual POV’s.
Nova Lane has been handed the most shittiest card in life at the moment, firstly on vacation with her boyfriend things drastically go down hill, coming home and jumping back into work she learns that her superior had up and quitted whilst she was away, thinking it was her time to step up and jump into the position she’s been working towards wasn’t exactly what happened.
Nooooo she finds out that the job that she’d pegged as hers was taken right out from under her.
If that wasn’t bad enough it’s been handed over to Kessler Rocha for a three month trial. Her ex-coworker and ex-lover. He’s the guy that broke her heart five years ago, he’s the reason why she uprooted her life and moved thousands of miles away.
Now five years later after knowing he didn’t want kids or any sort of commitment or marriage he now has full custody of his three year old son.
She was the girl that I cut loose once I realised I didn't want any commitment from her and that things would be better for us as co-workers.
Fun days ahead..
Nova is such a strong heroine with a forked tongue so the two and fro banter between these two scorches the pages and sets up the right pace for an angsty from enemies to lovers story perfectly.
Kessler is an Ex NHL player with the body of a wet dream, he had me swooning like no other, his love for his son had me melting, the laughs came tenfold with all things roosters.
What an amazing way to finish off my year in books, I loved this book as soon as I started it, I couldn't put it down, this second chance office romance hit all the right spots and I found I devoured this in record time.
Best Quote:
“If you think I’m about to turn into Aquaman, you have another thing coming.”
She grins at me. “All I know is that if you wanted to dress up as Jason Momoa, I wouldn’t mind.”
“That guy is Hawaiian isn’t he?”
She nods.
“That fucker. All the woman want him because he can swim.”
She raises her brow.
“Yeah,” she says dryly. “That’s totally the reason why.”
