Less Than Three by Maggie Dallen

Less Than Three (Starting from Zero, #1)

by Maggie Dallen

What’s worse than butt dialing the man who could make or break your career? Accidentally sleeping with him.

Public speaking coach Lacey Ames has landed the client of a lifetime with Lawrence Newsom III, heir apparent to his family’s private jet empire. If she can help him land the role as the company’s president, she’ll never need to wait another table again. The job, however, proves more challenging than Lacey ever dreamed when Lawrence turns out to be Alex, the sexy pilot she spent one steamy night with while stranded in Chicago.

Alex knows the easiest way to win the board's election would be to do as his grandfather advises: rekindle the romance with his ex, the daughter of an influential board member. But how can he think about anyone else when his klutzy-but-delectable new public speaking coach is a constant temptation?

If their tryst becomes common knowledge, both of their futures are at risk. The only solution is to keep the action in the boardroom strictly business. But with chemistry like theirs, that's easier said than done.

I found myself giggling to this very early on, the humour was brilliant. Lacey, a Public Speaking coach was hired by Lawrence’s grandfather to help him land the role of company president. But, there’s a problem, she slept with a pilot as her flight was delayed and tells her story of butt dialling her client, only to find out when she arrives at her job that the person she slept with IS her client! Awkward!
I really liked Lacey, her character was admirable, she kept her head about her and did her job, even though she had a lot of obstacles in the way.
I also liked Lawrence’s character, I wasn’t sure of him at first but warmed to him quite quickly.
The story although short was brilliant and I enjoyed getting to know the characters and following the story to the end.
This is the first book I have listened to or read by Maggie Dallen but if all of her books are as funny but serious in places to then I want to listen and read them all.
