We Shouldn’t by Vi Keeland - Book Review
Synopsis
Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning.
I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger.
While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons.
She’d ticketed a long line of cars—except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine.
Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine. Chances were, the owner would pay it and be none the wiser.
Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window.
Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse.
Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator. We had one of those brief moments that only happened in movies.
You know the deal…your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity.
His heated stare left me flush when I stepped off the elevator.
Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Or so I thought.
Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition.
The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction. It was because he’d seen me vandalize his car. And now he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival.
There’s a fine line between love and hate—and we shouldn’t cross it.
We shouldn’t—but straddling that line could be so much fun.

Hello friends and lovers!
Today I’m reviewing Vi Keeland’s romance novel, We Shouldn’t.
We Shouldn’t, is an enemies to lovers office romance by Vi Keeland that has dual perspectives. I LOVE, like LOVE dual perspectives. I love when a man is tortured by love. Does that make me sick?
Moving on.
Bennet and Analise unexpectedly meet at their job, due to a merger the two have to complete for their title. The loser ends up having to leave the state and moving to Dallas, TX. Yikes, I wouldn’t want to move, that’s for damn sure.
It’s funny, because Bennet happens to see Annalise vandalize his car with her own parking ticket. She didn’t know she was caught until they both meet and learn about the merger. BUSTED!
Analise is on a break from her boyfriend of eight years and let me tell you… I’m glad she is on a break. Bennet is a fucking hot ass man, who happens to be a playboy not interested in relationships.
Ladies, does he sound like a project or what? YES! Bring on the projects.
Analise and Bennet almost have a little bit of an enemies to lovers vibe, only because they are in competition to beat one another out. Although I liked their relationship I didn’t fall in love with them until toward the end. I like their bickering of course, their forbidden type romance/office romance, but I especially loved Bennet’s backstory when it came to his nephew or godson, Lukas. (And I’m not a kid type person, but these stories with kids by Vi Keeland have been melting my heart.)
We Analise and Bennet struggle with miscommunication during the story, which brings us their highs and lows of their competition. All in all, I really enjoyed it. I dragged the audiobook out a bit on this on more than Vi’s other novels, but still a great read. The characters had good chemistry!
As always Vi always has me cracking up throughout the book, the sex scenes are steamy, but I wouldn’t say x-rated (IMO) her books stay at around a 3 rating for steamy. It is explicit, but I want more. Then again, I’m just a greedy bitch at times.
Rating: 💋💋💋💋/ 5
Steamy Rating: 🔥🔥🔥/ 5

I finally graduated with my nursing degree and now it’s time to celebrate. Out with my friends, I come across the man of my dreams. Tall, dark, and oh so sexy. When I see him with another woman, I move on, after all it’s just a night out and it’s time for me to focus on my career anyway.
Until we end up at the same hospital.
I had no idea he was a doctor, and now he’s become the forbidden fruit I see every day.

At this age, I’ve had it with relationships. Call me sour, but nobody is faithful, and I’d rather have a taste and move on.
Then, I run into the beauty from the club. I was attracted to her immediately, but didn’t make a move. Now, after spending some time with her, I might be convinced to change my tune about being a one-woman man. She’s smart, funny, and driven. Everything I’ve ever wanted.
But she’s a lot younger than me, can she be trusted? We’re locked into a contract at the hospital together, only one way to find out.
