But something about the way Laurie challenges her and follows up on her interview shows Diana that Laurie has the same hunger inside that drives Diana to be the best, so she offers her the job over someone with the right clothes, right hair, and right resume.
Parker.ĭiana Parker is known as an ice queen, but is it really too much for her to ask that people just do their damn jobs? When Laurie Holcombe shows up with her big blue eyes, small-town Southern Georgia accent, and a streak of pink hair, Diana knows she’s all wrong for the job. Besides, she wants to go to law school after she finishes her sociology degree, so what better place to get a job? When she walks into the offices of Parker, Lee & Rusch (PL&R) with her bargain clothes, it’s clear that Laurie doesn’t fit in with everyone else’s high-end looks, but she doesn’t really care because she knows she’ll be an asset to Ms. She’s determined to crush her interview to become the assistant to one of Atlanta’s top lawyers because if she doesn’t, she won’t make rent or her student loans. It didn’t bother me, but the details are behind a spoiler tag below. Also, while I’m noting things people might hate or be fine with, there’s sort of a cheating element to this book too. Personally, I like it, and I particularly enjoyed how this book handles it because it addresses and challenges that dynamic head on, rather than brushing past it (more on this below), while still offering a whole lot of feels. I totally understand and respect that not everyone is comfortable with that power dynamic in fiction.
This book is not going to be for everyone because it’s an erotic romance with a boss/employee scenario, although if that pairing is your jam, you will almost certainly love it. Theme: Age Difference, Class Differences, Workplace Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotica/Erotic Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance
