Too Hard to Resist by Robin Bielman
One rookie assistant + one demanding executive = flirting that is too hot to handle.
Have you ever wished for the perfect job? Me, too. So when I land a temporary gig with a worthwhile and exemplary startup, I'm determined to make it permanent. That my boss is the gorgeous, clever Elliot Sax is nothing I can't handle. We may steal glances at each other and straddle the line of playing it safe, but our partnership is too important for complications. Not to mention workplace hookups are against the rules.
But when our attraction flames hotter, our best efforts are put to the test. I never imagined having to fight my feelings for him on a daily basis and keeping my hands to myself is absolutely killing me.
Until I can't. Until we can't. And what's at stake becomes more than our jobs. What's at risk is our hearts.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved this slow burn, forbidden, office romance.
"Even if he weren't my boss...he's a million times out of my comfort zone. I'd never be enough for someone like him."
Madison Hastings desperately needs this job so she can save enough money to move out of her parents' home. She can finally put her college degree to good use, too. The fact that her new boss is also from her social circle shouldn't be a problem. However, she wasn't prepared for the sexual attraction that blooms between them.
"I'm terrified of her and the things she makes me feel."
Elliot Sax has a career goal. Always the underdog of the family, he's determined to prove to his parents and siblings that he can be a success. When Madison proves herself a more than able assistant, things really start to take off at his new job. However, he wasn't at all prepared for the seriously distracting mutual desire between them. A desire that could cost them both their jobs and ruin friendships.
"You constantly steal my breath in the best possible ways."
This was a super sexy, slow burn romance. There's the office angle, as well as the friends-to-lovers angle. I loved how hard they fought for normality and friendship; how hard they fought their attraction to one another. The chemistry and passion between them was SIZZLING! Paxton is pretty tough and serious but he has one dirty mouth! Madison battled hard against her feelings, and her strategies for keeping away from one another made me laugh.
This was a fabulous read, and it was great to see familiar faces from the previous standalones in this series.
