Author: Melanie Moreland
Alex Bane (aptly named) is the bane of the HR department. There is basically a revolving door in his office for the assistants he fires. It comes to a point where HR places a bet: hire an assistant yourself or pay dearly. He thinks, “how hard can it be?!” Well, pretty hard, but when he’s about to cry uncle, she flies into his office – running, barefoot, disheveled, sweaty and late. For reasons unknown to man, he hires her… and his life is forever changed.
Magnolia Meyers knows she”ll be dealing with a grumpy demanding boss, but did he have to make her heart beat faster and her cheeks go pink?
They’ll bicker, banter, share lunches… He’ll defend her from office bullies and she’ll gatekeeper his witch of a mother. They were supposed to dislike each other. Well, that ain’t happening…
This was an absolute joy to read! I needed a low angst rom com that wasn’t silly and this one delivered what I wanted in spades.
There are some LOL moments involving an intrusive mother’s unexpected visit and latex allergies but also incredibly tender moments involving abandoned kittens and ailing dads.
If you are looking for a tender but spicy rom com with a curvy, lovely, accident prone heroine and a grumpy cinnamon roll hero, look no further. This will hit all the spots.
Thanks, Melanine, the publisher and NetGalley for the copy!
