She’s paid to manage his image. He’s the distraction she never saw coming.
Landing the D7 Fitness account should be the highlight of Hallie’s PR career. Instead, it puts her face-to-face with Barrick Wassweiler—a brooding trainer with zero interest in going viral and a habit of showing up shirtless at every shoot.
Barrick doesn’t want a brand. He wants privacy. But D7 has made him the focus of their next big push—and Hallie’s job is to turn him into a star.
Now they’re spending long hours filming tension-filled workouts, sharing coffee breaks that feel suspiciously like dates, and doing everything they can to pretend there’s nothing going on behind the camera.
But when a scandal exposes Barrick’s biggest secret, Hallie is caught between saving the man she’s not supposed to want… and protecting the career she’s worked so hard to build.
If you love steamy workplace romance, forbidden tension, and gym scenes that blur every professional line, Spin This is the bingeable romance you won’t be able to put down. Perfect for fans of forced proximity, grumpy x sunshine, and slow slides into chaos.
If you’re looking for a quick, romance-filled read that doesn’t skimp on charm, Spin This by L.C. Reagan delivers exactly that. From the very first chapter, I found myself pulled into Hallie and Barrick’s world—and I didn’t want to leave.
One of the strongest elements of the book is the undeniable chemistry between the two leads. Hallie and Barrick have a spark that’s both fun and emotionally grounded, and watching their connection develop made for an addictive reading experience. Whether they were bantering, navigating tension, or sharing quiet moments, their dynamic was both believable and entertaining.
The pacing of the novel is brisk, making it a great choice for readers who want something satisfying in a short amount of time. Reagan’s writing is engaging and accessible, with just the right mix of sweetness, flirtation, and emotional depth to keep things moving smoothly.
That said, there were a few plot points that felt a little underexplored. Certain background details or character motivations could have used more development, which occasionally left me with questions that weren’t fully answered by the end. These gaps didn’t ruin the experience, but they did keep the book from reaching that five-star level for me.
Overall, I really enjoyed Spin This. It’s the kind of book you can easily get lost in for an afternoon, with a romance that’s both swoony and sincere. If you’re a fan of quick reads with strong chemistry and a hint of drama, this one’s worth picking up.
