If you like age gap, ice queen, boss x employee, and lots of spice, this is the perfect story for you.

Laurie is a sociology student going for a job interview with one of Atlanta's top firms. Diana is one of the best lawyers in the city and needs a new assistant. What she gets with Laurie is not what she expects at all.

I've heard about this book a LOT, so I had to give it a try. I did not realize how spicy it was going to be. I'm not a big fan of boss x employee, but this was tastefully written to not even give a hint of power imbalance after the first incident between Laurie and Diana. I didn't really care for either of the main characters much, but I enjoyed the role reversal where Diana had to let go of control. ( )

Oh, dear. I know this story is supposed to be a bit spicy, but to be honest, I also enjoyed myself a lot.

The plot is pretty ordinary and nothing new. Diana, one main character, is a successful lawyer, married and in her 40s. The other main character is Laurie, a 25-year-old student applying as a personal assistant in Diana's law firm. There is a power-play between them because of their positions and the age difference. Especially because both sides are attracted to each other, which leads them into a spiral of "bad decisions". And this is also the point where it starts to get steamy.

Some of these scenes are VERY explicit but don't feel repetitive. That's why they feel natural and not forced.

However, I found that the story came a little short towards the end. It felt rushed. I would have liked to get more depth here. Above all, the "twist" of the plot was resolved relatively quickly, which I found a pity.

On a positive note, I was pretty amused by the inner monologues. Some of the characters' thought processes were so funny. I cracked up every time Diana thought, "How dare she!" about Laurie. Well, how dare they both start an office affair? lol

As you can read, for me, the book was entertaining. I liked it a lot and found the characters delightful. However, I was not 100% satisfied with the ending.

"like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, stressed as hell while it tries to protect its tail from any number of dangers."

Such a great read :)

The author did a great job bringing Laurie and Diana to life on the page. I really felt for both of them, and while their story held few surprises, it felt real and important through their eyes. And it is hot as hell.

Very highly recommended. ( )
