Author: Evelyn Leigh
Rating: (5/5)

A Heartfelt, Spicy, and Unforgettable Romance

When I say I loved this book, I mean it. I read it the first day it came out, and since then, I’ve re-read it at least five times. It’s just that good! Elevator Pitch is a beautifully crafted romance featuring Selah Bailey, an introverted, neurodivergent Black woman, and Greyson Park, her extroverted and charming neighbor. Their love story unfolds with patience, warmth, and sizzling chemistry, making for an unforgettable read.

A Love Story That Feels Real

Selah and Greyson’s first meeting is simple yet significant—they meet in the elevator of their apartment building. Greyson is immediately drawn to her, while Selah, lost in the pages of her book, barely registers his presence. However, their connection begins to grow organically, with chance encounters at the local coffee shop and friendly hallway conversations evolving into something deeper.

What makes their romance so special is how genuinely it develops. Greyson notices Selah’s love for books, takes an interest in her world, and even reads the books she enjoys—a swoon-worthy gesture that solidifies their bond. Their relationship is not just about passion but also about mutual understanding, patience, and emotional depth.

Selah’s ‘F List’ & The Slow-Burn Romance*

One of the most refreshing aspects of this book is Selah’s personal growth. She has a *“F List”**—a list of things she’s determined to accomplish without fear or hesitation. She’s tackled most of it on her own, but the last few items require a partner. Enter Greyson, who playfully “auditions” for the role—a move that kicks off their steamy, heartfelt romance.

Greyson, having gone through a painful divorce, is searching for his person. He sees something special in Selah, but he’s also mindful of her boundaries. He’s patient, supportive, and allows their relationship to blossom at her pace—making their romance feel both intense and deeply emotional.

Themes & Representation

Neurodivergent & Introverted Representation: Selah’s character is beautifully written, offering a realistic and respectful portrayal of a neurodivergent woman navigating love and life.
Therapy & Personal Growth: I loved how therapy is included as a positive and normal part of the story, reinforcing the importance of mental health.
Community & Found Family: Selah has an amazing group of friends who support her journey, adding warmth and depth to the story.
Strong Family Support: Greyson’s relationship with his parents and younger brother is absolutely wonderful. It’s so refreshing to see a male lead with a healthy and supportive family dynamic.
Successful Leads: I love how both characters are equally successful! Greyson is the CEO of a dating app, and Selah, despite working from home, is thriving in the tech industry—which is such a cool detail.

Spice Level: (4/5)

The romance is not only sweet but incredibly steamy! Greyson is an absolute flirt from beginning to end, and his confidence is undeniable. He knows what he wants, and he’s not shy about letting Selah know—from page one to the very end. As he so smoothly says, “Call me Grey if you’re nasty.” Honestly? I need a Greyson Park.

The tension, the buildup, and the eventual release make for a swoon-worthy and passionate read. It’s sensual, romantic, and deeply satisfying—the perfect balance of heat and heart.

Final Thoughts

This book is everything I could want in a romance—it’s emotional, funny, steamy, and beautifully written. Selah and Greyson’s love story is realistic, heartwarming, and full of depth, with themes of self-discovery, healing, and embracing love at your own pace.

Final Verdict: A must-read! If you love slow-burn romance with sizzling chemistry, deep emotional connections, and strong character development, this book is for you. Five stars, hands down!
