Blurb

Terminated for inappropriate behavior.

I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.

Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba.

All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought…

Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices.

I didn’t think he’d actually respond.

I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk.

Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back.

Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me.

But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.

It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.

Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

But sometimes it’s twice as fun.

Review

4 stars!

Oh, Vi Keeland, can you do no wrong? This standalone is a funny, sexy CEO/employee romance with a strong emotional element and a beautiful, functional love story. It’s a fun read that had me feeling all the feels, and I loved this one.

Grant and Ireland have a fabulous introduction – she has just been fired for inappropriate behaviour after a video of her on holidays ends up on social media, he’s the CEO of her now-ex-employer and therefore the recipient of her drunken email fighting back at her dismissal. There’s some highly entertaining banter back and forth banter, and Ireland ends up with her job back, but she also ends up with a crush on the charming boss of her boss of her boss. Luckily, the attraction is reciprocated and romance quickly sparks.

Some of the best things are complicated, but beautiful and worth all the risk.

It’s such a fun set up, made all the more special because Grant is a man who has been actively avoiding love for a long time. He has a horrific backstory that is revealed in flashbacks throughout the books, and I could absolutely understand where he was coming from and why he felt the way he did. It just makes it all the more beautiful when Ireland comes along and unknowingly smashes through his walls, making him feel again for the first time in years.

“I want more with you but I’m not sure what I’m capable of, Ireland. I won’t promise you something I’m uncertain I can deliver. Yet I’d like to try and make this work.”

This couple are so damn functional! They are open about their feelings, about what they want and what they are capable of, and they take things slowly as they explore everything that is happening between them. It’s a bit of a slow burn because they’ve both been hurt before, and I like that they take their time with it, moving at a pace where they are both comfortable. It has the added bonus of building the chemistry and the anticipation, and when all of that sexual chemistry hits its peak… holy hot damn, it’s steamy!

They have such a beautiful love story, but as the truth of Grant’s past is revealed, it brings with it a hurdle that they may be unable to overcome. It’s gutwrenching and emotional, but again they handle it so, so, functionally, and I loved watching it all unfold.

“We don’t have a choice who we fall in love with. We fall in love by chance. But staying in love and making it work isn’t something that happens by chance—that’s a choice. And I’ve chosen to love Ireland.”

It’s another solid read from Vi Keeland. Sweet and sexy with all feels, and a gorgeous epilogue that left me with a big grin on my face.

Narrated by the audio dream team of Andie Arndt and Sebastian York, this was a great book to listen to.

I loved it – 4 stars.
