Eh, this was just OK for me. The heroine was a brat. The hero was an asshole manwhore (I mean SERIOUSLY he fucks a different woman EVERY day of the week?) He is supposed to be a CEO for christ sake. What CEO has time to fuck a different woman EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK and STILL run a company!? *lol* Plus the ending was VERY abrupt and unsatisfactory.

PS. I'd LOVE to know exactly how many families are out skating at Rockefeller Center at 3 am? Ok, I just checked and rink actually closes at midnight...SO???

YaYa, but little details like that get stuck in my head!!

What a steamy little read and that's the one thing I hate about novellas, they're short and you never want them to end. If you don't like novellas, don't read this one, you've been warned. And I don't want to see you complaining ;-)

The steam factor is there, ladies!

The whole concept of this novella is super intriguing! When Mya constantly has one too many inappropriate things to say via email about her boss to her best friend, it's inevitable that those emails are bound to cross paths ... to the wrong person. You got it, one email is sent to her boss and that just leads to an even better story.

The banter between these two is the best, Mya is witty and not afraid to bite back! She's a sharp one and Michael should know better than to mess with her. To be frank, Michael needs Mya more than she needs him. And boy is that a sour fruit for Michael to bite on.

In true Whitney fashion, she delivers us a steamy novella with plenty of humor and wit. And you'll definitely be begging for more by the end. It wasn't quite the way I'd hope for the book to end, but I loved this nonetheless.

When Whitney G announces she has a new book coming out, I immediately at it to my TBR list and then greedily wait for that book to hit my kindle.

If you've read any of this author's books, you know she has a knack for writing a hero that is a complete a-hole that normally would turn you off.  But there is something about the hero that has you hanging on and looking for a thread of decency that would lead to a redeeming quality later on in the story.  Michael Leighton was such an a-hole and had me really searching for that thread, because I wasn't really sure there was going to be one.  It was there, but he hid is well behind a giant wall of douchebaggery.

Mya, as Michael's executive assistant, has to put up with him and all his pain in the arse glory.  And she does, grudgingly so, despite being attracted to him.  She may complain to her best friend about his emails, demands, attitude and the errands he forces her to run, but she always goes back and it always made me wonder why.  Why she pushed his buttons (when she could).  Why she stayed as long as she did and didn't complain (even to Brad, who likely understand).  I think, despite everything he said and did, Mya saw the thread of decency buried within Michael and it was that thread that kept her tied to him, even when she didn't want to be.

If you're a reader of this blog, then you know I have an issue with novellas.  I always feel like I'm lacking something and try to steer clear.  But now with this author's novellas.  I'm engaged immediately, drawn to the characters (even if I don't want to be) and always feel like the characters somehow grew.  That was clear with these characters.  Would I have liked a full length novel?  Yes.  I have a feeling these characters had a few more issues that needed to be screwed out.  But overall, I loved the story and characters enough to be satisfied in the end.  Well done, Whitney G.  Well done!
