De: Ruby Barrett

Narrado por: Troy Duran, Sofia Willingham

Corinne Blunt knows what people think of her - she's an icy, unapproachable executive. It's the price she's had to pay to get to the top. But there's knowing you have a reputation in the office, and there's hearing your new intern laugh when someone calls you "Blunt the C--t" in the elevator on his first day.

She'd hoped to finally find an ally in Wesley Chambers, but she's not about to let him off the hook for joining the office boys' club. Taking refuge in the professional boundaries between them, she relegates Wes to assistant work - which would do the trick, if he weren't so eager to prove he's a decent human being.

Wes is sincerely apologetic, insisting it was a misunderstanding, and to her surprise, Corinne believes him. Being forced to work together was one thing, but long hours at the office with what turns out to be a kind, thoughtful man soon has their business relationship turning personal, and things get complicated - fast. Could this be something more serious than either of them dared to hope for? Or is their relationship just playing into the harmful power dynamics Corinne's had to endure her entire career?

Contains mature themes.

Complex romance

This sweet office romance puts the woman in the driver’s seat and I loved it

Slow Burn

a good slow burn office romance. it was pretty slow on the story but it was good

Solid Enjoyable Listen

The story was fun. It felt worth the purchase.
Given my d'ruthers, it would have been slightly more detailed, and polished, but it is good enough to leave me happy. Four solid stars.
Both narrators were top dollar.

The realness

Story felt like non-fiction. At onset I thought the readers were a bit monotone but later I appreciated their lack of embellishment which now seem to add to the story’s sobriety. A totally different experience than most romance novels.
