A new stand alone office romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…
I’ve always had one rule:
Don’t mix business and pleasure.
But then Landon Wright comes home to his family’s construction company with a broken back and a beaten heart and ends up as my new sexy boss. As the office gets heated, I’m thinking about throwing the rulebook out the window.
If only there weren’t a million reasons this could never work.
We may have shared a single perfect kiss, but I can’t let our intense connection cloud my judgment. Not with everything I’ve worked for on the line.
Dating your boss is so very, very wrong…even if he feels so Wright.

I am just throwing it out there that I will be in the minority on this book. And I believe it’s more of a “it’s me, not you” thing. So please take my review for what it is – just my opinion.
I read the first book in this series and wasn’t really wow’d by it but thought it was ok. I wanted to read this book because Landon’s story felt like it was going to be more intense and angst-filled. But I felt a bit letdown with how everything played out.
Landon and Heidi have known each other for a very long time. Landon dated Heidi’s best friend back in high school. They were mutual friends. Fast forward many years later, Landon is in a miserable marriage and yet he can’t fight the attraction he feels toward Heidi. Heidi feels it too but refuses to be that woman until she knew he was truly leaving his wife.
There is one issue that prevents them from being together publicly – he’s her boss now. So they have to not only tiptoe around his family but they can’t be seen together in public either. And then add in that his wife refuses to sign the divorce papers. Sounds exciting – but it felt like it all dragged out way too long with very little excitement happening.
Again, this is where it’s more of this book just wasn’t for me or just bad timing. I felt myself skimming, ALOT. I got bored with their interactions and them learning more about each other. And that is not good. I felt nothing for either of these characters, which sucks. I sped through the last half of this book, knowing how things would end, but hoping to maybe come across something more exciting. To my dismay, that did not happen.
As I said, I am in minority on this book. I just couldn’t connect to any of the characters, nor get behind their story. I wanted more – hell, I was hoping Miranda (Landon’s crazy wife) would have caused more of scene than she did to at least spice things up. But no dice.
I’m not trying to bash the book because it is written well. It just wasn’t for me and/or bad timing too. If you enjoy a nice contemporary romance with not alot of angst and drama, this is a good read for you.
