Review:
This is N. Michaels’ debut book and it is a great, sexy, escapist romance. I had this book on my TBR list forever and is getting a re-release after being its original release in 2013. I could not put this book down once I started and it is a very good twist on the office romance theme.
Katherine is not your run-of-the-mill heroine because she grew up in a very privileged family and never had to work. She lives in a gorgeous apartment in NYC and Her father is a famous neurosurgeon. However, he cuts her off after she refuses to follow in his footsteps. Although she is smart and talented in her own right, she doesn’t have any work experience and must find a “real” job. She lands a position as the executive assistant to the CEO of a company. Eric Miller is gorgeous, sexy and very, very off-limit. I had a few minor issues with the plot at this point but nothing that detracted in a major way from my enjoyment of the story.
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Eric and Katherine! They literally can’t stay away from each other. I must feel an emotional connection between the main characters and the author does a great job at creating that bond here. Katherine knows she is sexy and desirable but has really never felt the attraction for a man like she feels for Eric. But of course Eric has a bitchy “friend” named Eliza who will let nothing stand in her way of becoming Eric’s girlfriend and she does everything in her power to come between Eric’s growing attraction to Katherine.
I fell in love with Eric and loved when he showed his romantic side. I can’t say much else about the story without giving any spoilers. Enjoy this story for what it is: a very hot, escapist romance, set between NYC and Miami with lots of drama and some very sweet and tender moments. I absolutely loved Eric and Katherine together and can’t wait to read the next book. There is a rather dramatic cliffhanger but I am hoping that we won’t have to wait too long for Book 2.
