3/5 stars

Closer than ever to becoming a chief analyst at Israel’s largest money manager, Tamar Feynman can't afford distractions of any kind. Which is why she’s on edge around the company’s new hire, Gideon Sela. He’s charming, irresistible…and her rival for the coveted chief job. Her libido-induced mind reasons that the only way to get him out of her system is into her bed. Tamar proposes an arrangement for a no-strings-attached fling that will end as soon as one of them becomes the other’s boss. Yet, as things heat up between the sheets and new feelings emerge, Tamar becomes aware that someone is manipulating share prices and that it could involve Gideon’s family. Now, she is faced with hard choices. Will she investigate further, knowing it could hurt her chances of winning the position… as well as destroy her lover?

What I liked
-Learning about a different job/culture.
-lots of spicy scenes!

What I wish was better
-This was a long book, considering how little happened in it.
-I enjoyed the beginning, but as soon as the story progressed, I found myself caring less and less.
-Chemistry didn't seem genuine.
-This was a choppy read that took a while to get through.

Mia Sivan’s Analysing Her Assets is a sizzling workplace rivals-to-lovers romance that deftly combines high-stakes corporate intrigue with steamy chemistry. While the story is engaging and full of tension, some pacing issues and underdeveloped subplots keep it from fully realizing its potential.

Tamar Feynman is a driven, no-nonsense protagonist determined to secure the coveted chief analyst position at Israel’s largest money management firm. Her life is meticulously planned, leaving little room for distractions—until Gideon Sela arrives. As her charming and competitive new colleague, Gideon shakes up Tamar’s carefully curated world. Their rivalry is electric, filled with sharp banter and undeniable sexual tension, which sets the stage for an exciting romantic dynamic.

Tamar’s initial proposal of a no-strings-attached fling is bold and refreshing, especially for a heroine who is so focused on her career. The arrangement adds complexity to their relationship as both characters struggle to maintain emotional boundaries amidst rising stakes at work and in their personal lives. Gideon is equally compelling, balancing charm with genuine care for Tamar, though his character occasionally feels overshadowed by the broader corporate drama.

The subplot involving stock price manipulation adds intrigue and raises the stakes for Tamar, forcing her to weigh her personal and professional ethics against her ambition and feelings for Gideon. While the premise is compelling, this element of the story feels underexplored, with the resolution arriving a bit too neatly to deliver the punch it promises.

The romance, on the other hand, is well-executed, with plenty of steamy moments and emotional vulnerability. The inclusion of lighter touches, like puppies and playful games, adds levity and balance to the narrative, making it feel warm and human even amidst the cutthroat corporate setting.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
This was a quick and fun read. Plus dogs on the cover? Of course I'll read it.

Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Mia Sivan

When I requested this book I was unaware that it was apart of a series, one that requires you to read the previous books for this one to make sense. I am unable to read all the previous books along with this one before the publish date. Therefore, I will rate this a fair 3/5 stars and will adjust the rating and review when I am able to read all the books in the series along with this one.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book.

This book was not for me. There were parts that were enjoyable, but the flow was choppy. I am disappointed,

Analysing her Assets is a spicy, funny and quirky read and the ‘will they, won’t they’ enemies to lovers’ trope had me hooked. Workplace romances are generally one of my favourite settings however some of the technical aspects of the financial sector in Israel was a little to in depth for my liking, at times had me a bit lost. Nonetheless it was incredibly fascinating to learn about the Israeli culture and I loved how the novel transported me to the sights and sounds of Tel Aviv.

The sparing and the competitive nature of the MC’s Tamar and Gideon’s relationship was extremely entertaining as were the two dogs that featured quite heavily in the plot too.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my ARC.

5 Star Read!!!

Tamar is an investment analyst in competition for senior analyst, she's been working towards this promotion and loves her female boss. Her list of workplace rules served her Mom well, and she follows them as well. One of them is not dating within the workplace. The CEO sends out an email asking if anyone is interested in adopting puppies from his dogs' litter. Tamar sees this as a way to gain favor with him and takes a puppy, who she names Giddy after it pees on her - annoying her like Gideon does. Her family drama spills over into her work decisions and she struggles with the pressure of being the primary wage earner. Her sister is cynical, very anti-relationship and overall unlikeable until the end.

Gideon works at the same investment house but has a past and is up for the same promotion. He's only worked there for a year but is the "Golden Boy". He also adopts a puppy because he loves dogs. His family has different drama - he's the only son of a successful CEO set to inherit the company. His mom writes books, most recently a werewolf erotica that he is the first reader for. His father has secrets of his own and they have driven a wedge between him and his son.

Tamar and Gideon bond over having to take care of puppies, living close to each other and feeling a mutual attraction. I loved this relationship, from forbidden, to loving and supportive. They face challenges at work, and eventually work through them and their issues with trust.

Set in Tel Aviv!

This was a slow burn for me. I loved that the main Character was Plus sized and the location was not the typical New York (Tel Aviv!) The dogs were a fun addition to the story and Gideon was adorable. The love angle between them seemed a bit forced at times and the sister was pretty unbearable.

Very spicy read. Loved that the main femal character is plus size. Hated the character that tries to manipulate others for his advantage. There was a big event at the end, but we didn’t get to see the “evil person” gave their reach. Would have loved that.

Tamar and Gideon’s story was a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance. I felt this book offered a different perspective than the books I often read. Will read more by this author.

The plot definitely didn't go the way I expected it to! A pleasant little surprise 🙃. Overall I enjoyed it, the plot was a little flat but the spice was definitely spicy!

A very good book with both main characters having totally different personalities and each one was also dealing with family issues as well. Tamar and Gideon work at the same financial institution and then later are both up for the same promotion. Tamar has a list of rules she follows but then breaks one of her rules when she takes a puppy from the man who will be one of the men making the decision. The dog not only helps her but also gets her closer to Gideon as well. There is a lot going on in this story but it was good seeing the growth in Tamar along with how she dealt with the problem at work when she was being set up. Gideon had his own troubles mainly with his father and to see both of these characters work through these was good. I really enjoyed this story and all of the characters.

I absolutely LOVE an enemies to lovers trope and this was excellently executed. Since the pacing was quite fast, I felt myself hanging on to every word and finding myself unable to stop reading! Incredible story.

A fun and fast paced read, enemies to lovers. A great story, and I felt I learned about another culture too. Looking forward to more books from this author.

Spicy enemies to lovers romance. I liked this very much. It was a good read and it held my attention and kept me wanting to know more. So very good!!

I LOVED THIS! The workplace rivals to lovers was done SO well! I loved the romance, the tension and the banter. But this also had a deeper connection of each character and I really enjoyed getting to know them and know why they were the way they were. Some romances can be surface level but this wasn't and I loved that. The spice was also wonderful! Highly recommend!!

When I read the synopsis for this book that mentioned workplace romance, rivals to lovers romance, I was immediately interested in this story! Something about a workplace romance while simultaneously being rivals is always a fun and interesting dynamic so I was quite curious to see what would happen between them and how their relationship would develop. And at some point the more I read, the more I got into the story and enjoyed it. I really loved the way Tamar and Gideon were not only having fun together, but exploring one another and creating their path. Overall, this is a great story filled with a strong female lead, supportive friend group and a charming / great male lead. There was a good mix of spice, humor, and romance and the rivals to lovers trope was good as well… also the dogs? They have my heart ❤️

This book is spicy!
All parts of this book were well written and you cheered for Tamar and Gideon. The addition of the dogs was really cute. The family drama for both added to their bond. I was happy to see Tamar stick up for yourself

There were parts of this book I enjoyed, such as the discussion of finance and the real depiction of getting a new puppy. But overall, the plot was a bit choppy, and although the spice was fairly steamy, the chemistry between the characters didn’t feel genuine. For those reasons, I don’t really feel like this book was for me.

"Analysing Her Assets" is a light and steamy read that will appeal to readers looking for a quick and entertaining romantic novel. While it has its moments, it doesn't quite live up to its potential. Therefore, I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
