BLURB
Standing on the balcony, outside my boss’s apartment,
wearing only my underwear?
Not how I expected to start my Saturday morning.
I guess I should’ve thought harder about going home with
my sexy new gym instructor, especially since I had no idea the guy was married.
When he pushed me out onto the balcony, five seconds before his wife walked
through the door, I jumped one apartment over because I thought it would be
less embarrassing for a stranger to find me than his wife.
That was a smart move.
So here I am, wearing next to nothing and freezing my ass
off, standing outside the living room window of my young, sexy, and very
intimidating boss, Chase Winston.
I have two choices: I sit here and try to think of
another way out of this and risk dying of hypothermia. Or I can suck it up and
knock on that window. After a long, internal argument with myself, I choose
option two.
Here goes nothing…

Our Review:
“Office relationships, 4 stars”
Chase keeps his head down and his head buried in work. That is until he looks up and sees one of his employees. He didn’t know who she was or what she was capable of doing until he walked in on a conversation he never should have heard. After that Alana is all he can see or think about, especially when she shows up on his balcony.
Alana knows her boss is hot but that kind of gets pushed to the side when she thinks about her job and the fact she’s extremely over qualified. But what if the opportunity to not only get the guy but find the dream job is right in front of her? Will she take it?
I did enjoy these two but they kept forgetting to communicate. There was a lot of explaining going on up in here. Over all it was a solid story with a HEA.

EXCERPT
“Seriously, did you see the way she looked at me when she
told me not to stuff it up?” I huff, stalking back over to Peyton. “Like, God
forbid I put two sugars in his damn coffee instead of one. Hey, maybe I should
slip some laxatives in there?” I say with an evil grin. “I mean, he walks
around like he’s got something lodged up his ass, maybe all he needs is a good,
old-fashioned cleanout.”
“Lanna—”
“No. I don’t care how ridiculously sexy he is or how
dreamy those blue eyes are to stare into,” I say, cutting her off.
I was on a roll, and Peyton wasn’t going to stop me. I
have two years’ worth of frustration to vent, and it’s all coming out now, one
way or another.
“He’s an asshole to everyone here but Jade, and I bet
that’s only because she’s sucking his cock. Not that I wouldn’t go there if he
asked me to—”
“Lanna,” Peyton hisses, her eyes wide.
“Oh, come on, like you wouldn’t suck his cock too,” I
retort, nodding knowingly at her. “Hey, maybe we could tag team him.”
We’d had a lengthy discussion about this a few weeks ago
over a bottle of tequila, so I knew exactly what she wanted to do with that ten
inches of pure stiff muscle. And I thought I was the dirty one. I
chuckle to myself and turn around. My heart skips a beat
when I spot Chase leaning against Jade’s desk. He smirks at me and casually
lifts one eyebrow.
Oh, god no.
My heart pounds as I wait for him to react. This can’t be
happening. I cannot believe I just said that. Well, I can believe it, because I
say shit like that every day, but not when he’s standing right behind me. I
glare at Peyton, who releases a snort and then flushes, bowing her head.
Chase’s eyes don’t leave me as I glance around the room, praying for an escape,
but there isn’t one.
It’s like a scene from a really bad movie. With any luck,
he’ll drag me outside and throw me on the back of his bike and take me
somewhere to have his way with me. Or his office will do just fine.
“Is Jade here?” he asks, directing his question at me,
his smooth, deep voice making me shiver.
I shake my head, incapable of speaking. I think it’s
worse that he’s ignoring the obvious issue of my outburst. I’d almost prefer
for him to say something about it. Anything. Almost... He nods, and then walks
over to the door, stopping just as he reaches it. I brace myself as he turns
his attention back to me.
“Alana?” he asks.
I force myself to meet his steel blue eyes, wishing he
didn’t find this so damn amusing.
“Yes?” I whisper, feeling sick. God, I am so embarrassed.
“While I
appreciate your attentiveness to my health, I can assure you that everything is
functioning just as it should. Maybe you should focus more on your job and less
on things that don’t concern you?” he asks lightly. “Like who is and isn’t
sucking my cock.”
He walks out, briskly closing the door behind him.
I stumble over to my desk and slump down onto my chair,
my eyes wide. I breathe out, feeling dazed. My heart’s racing and I’m feeling a
mixture of extreme nausea and embarrassment over the whole situation. Every
time I think about what I just said, more or less to his face, I
want to throw up.
Peyton rushes over to me, both panicked and trying not to
laugh, which under any other circumstance would be a funny combination. I glare
at her, which sets her off.
“I’m so sorry,” she giggles, shaking her head. “I swear
I’m not laughing at you, but that just made my fucking day.”
“I’m glad I can be a source of amusement for you,” I
grumble, my tone sour.
“At least he knows your name now.” she offers, her eyes
twinkling.
I scowl at her. I think I preferred it when he didn’t.
