A fun power fantasy about using one-time time travel to make lots and lots of money. Like, if you've ever wondered what you'd do if you went back twenty years (buy lots of X company's stock, etc) then this is a fun read. The character is smart and there's various obstacles that he overcomes in interesting ways (nice plan buying lots of stock, where exactly are you getting the money for that, hm? Well, the MC has a well-constructed answer) The romance is... Uh. Well, the romance is quite the change in tone from the business power fantasy. In business settings, the MC and ML are smart, cool-headed, strategic. Leave them alone in a room together and they literally start brainlessly tearing each other's clothing apart, not even in a lust way, just in a super intense one-upping each other fighting kind of way. It's definitely A Dynamic. I'm torn between whether I'm amused by the total mismatch in tone or whether the whiplash is annoying. It's like reading two separate books in the same novel.
