Alright, so here's the thing...
I'm wasn't in love with this one, but I didn't exactly dislike it either. Hang on, I shall explain...

The story we follow the majority of the time was slowish, but enjoyable...she becomes his personal assistant while a spark develops and is fed over time leading to a great big HAZZAH moment and then just when everything seems to potentially be going the way one thinks it would go (even if a bit fast, but hey...it is the movie biz!)....BOOM....blindsided by something COMPLETELY different...and that's where my hang up comes in.

The latter storyline introduced that seemed to be an afterthought, yet could have played a bigger role, if given the chance to develop or introduced somewhat earlier in the story, hit me completely out of nowhere. I mean I wasn't looking for THAT type of story, I was perfectly content with how things were going with all the snark and flirtations, even the faster than the speed of light HEA that came at you like a train in the dark, but it just seemed like unnecessary drama to bring about at book's end. Why now...why this story...why not give it a life of its own or integrate it in so both could flow throughout the pages? That's the one thing with short stories, sometimes there are more ideas, more potential to explore than pages promised.

All in all, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't as over the top as I had wished it would be. The truth of the matter is BOTH story lines were worth persuing; I just wish they had both been given time to grow and achieve their full potential.
