Have you read any of the other books in this series? The heroine is always described as looking professional and 100% "put together."
There are reasons for this, which we finally learn in this book. I suppose she is addicted to buying shoes, but that's mentioned only a few times in the book. It was not a focus.
The chemistry between the h/h was evident from the first book in the series. We know from those books they knew each other from before she became the building manager, but
how they knew each other was somewhat of a surprise. There was a lot of push-pull with each having made false assumptions about the other’s motives. This set up a lovely dichotomy with them knowing each other very well, yet still discovering new things and surprising each other, all melded together with a lot of humor. There was a moment toward the end that felt forced and I wasn't a fan of the subplot with the heroine's sister, but otherwise all of the elements of the book gelled for me. Shalvis' humor doesn't always work for me, but it did here.
