It was his lips.
The way his stare sent shivers down my spine.
The way his rough voice whispered my name.
So I caved.
I did what I knew I shouldn’t.
But as quickly as he’s there, he’s gone.
Leaving me confused.
Devastated.
I hope I’ll never see him again…
Then I do.
He’s my new boss.
And he has secrets.

"Her strong will calls to me, and I'm losing the battle with myself every damn day."
This novel was hugely angsty and incredibly hot! It was absolutely seething with barely-suppressed desire. The connection between Bridget and Grant was tangible. I loved how Bridget's sassiness and determination to prove herself in her job broke down Grant's walls, and brought him back to life. I loved how she made him feel alive, again. I admired her attitude in dealing with Grant's hot and cold behaviour.
"You mean everything to me. I'll fight for us if you will."
I really felt for Grant's situation. His helplessness had me feeling equally helpless and full of despair. The resolution to his dilemma was perfect. However, as much as I enjoyed the build up and the climax to the story, I felt that the ending was a bit rushed and too quickly tied up. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the book, and this author's writing style, and plan to catch up with her other novels very soon.
