In She a Baddie, we meet Chris Rossmore and Isobel Taylor, Black excellence on full display. Chris and Isobel have been friends ever since popular Isobel saved geeky Chris from being teased mercilessly in high school. Chris and Isobel have always loved one another, but neither acts on the brewing attraction because they value their friendship too much. When Chris has to fight for the role of CEO at his family's company, Rossmore Wineries, and Isobel finds herself facing the same career-related challenges at her family business, Taylor Made Hair, the two work together to achieve their goals. Along the way, the two realize that they want a relationship and do the work to actualize it - finding true happiness in this happy for now-style friends-to-lovers fake-dating romance.

The story is entertaining for a quick read. Author Monique Fisher kept me engaged from the very first page. And even got some chuckles out of me...some parts of She a Baddie were really funny. Chris is the perfect MMC, smart, rich, and supportive - I'm looking for my Chris Rossmore right now! Isobel is a great FMC, too, she's smart, quick witted, self-confident, and fashionable, just an all around great female character. 

A few of the cons: 1) Unfortunately, for me, some of the dialogue between the characters is a bit immature, but the characters are young. 2) Some of the sex scenes and the confrontational scenes near the end of the book felt rushed. 3) I think Monique Fisher might've tried to do too many things with this really short story - friends to lovers, fake dating, estranged father-son relationship, and BDSM...that's a lot in 129 pages.  

I've only read one other book by Monique Fisher, Hot for Teacher, and it was so good that I decided to read her other books whenever I could: enter She a Baddie. I was expecting a full length novel, but I think this is more of a novelette at just 129 pages. It was an enjoyable quick read and I will read more of Monique Fisher's books for sure!
