Henley Holloway is my boss’s daughter and I’ve been assigned to mentor her.

The problem is, I’m not looking to babysit anyone.

But I’m determined to make partner at the firm, and this is the final obstacle in my way.

So, I agree to take the little princess under my wing.

I’ll work her so hard, she’ll beg me to leave her alone.

But from the first day she walks into the office and spills scalding hot coffee on my chest—I’m intrigued.

She’s a Harvard grad.

Her work ethic rivals mine.

She’s witty and funny and beautiful all at the same time.

I don’t want to like her.

I have a hard and fast rule about relationships, and I will not break it with my boss’s daughter.

That’s a hard no.

But she’s everywhere I turn, and I can’t seem to get enough.

Weren’t rules meant to be broken anyway?

From the moment we cross the line—I’m done for.

Henley Holloway has seeped her way into my heart, one that I didn’t even know still worked.

But sometimes loving someone isn’t enough.

I’m living proof of that.

Review

4.5 stars!

I love this book! A small town, sort-of-enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance with fantastic characters, epic chemistry, and a fun, swoony and sexy love story that stole my heart.

This is the start of a new series from Laura Pavlov, I was so excited to dive into this book. A spin-off from the Magnolia Falls series, this series is based around the Chadwick boys – brothers and cousins to Emerson from Beating Heart. But you can easily read this as a standalone

Easton is Emerson’s twin brother. He is is an attorney at the top of his game, and he’s heading towards a partnership in his firm when he is given the role of mentoring one of their new hires – the daughter of his boss. It’s the last thing he wants, but he doesn’t really have a choice and agrees to work with the girl he assumes is a spoiled nepo baby, but from the moment Henley walks into his office, his world is turned upside down.

She was a distraction that I didn’t want to deal with.
I didn’t get distracted anymore, and for good reason.
But here I was, staring down at her like I’d die if I didn’t kiss her right now.

Henley is determined to prove herself, even though her new mentor seems to hate her and is constantly challenging her. But she rises to his challenges and tosses attitude right back at him, and the two of them are so entertaining together. They bicker and banter, and they have wild sexual tension, and when all of those lusty feelings become impossible to ignore, they are on fire together!

They quickly realise that what they thought would be a quick fling won’t be enough for either of them. They want each other, and they dive on in to explore what is between them, and I loved them together so much!

“I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want anyone else. I want you. All of you. And I don’t want it to be a secret.”

It’s such a fun and enjoyable story, and Easton and Henley together are so much fun. Their banter and flirting is fantastic, and their chemistry is so freaking good!

It had taken me a long time to find someone worth taking a risk for.
And I was going to hold on tight.

But their pasts have left them scarred and wary of relationships. They have some issues to work through, but they are honest and open, they talk about everything, and I loved watching them figure everything out. There is some drama for them, which brings some nice emotion, but they work through it and follow their hearts to a beautifully happy ending.

“You walked into my life and stole my fucking heart, Henley. I didn’t even know it still worked. But it’s yours.”

This is a gorgeous story and such a great start to the series. Easton’s family are all up in his business, letting us get to know the boys and setting the scene for books to come. The guys are close and have such a fun dynamic, and I cannot wait for their stories as the series continues.

I loved this book so much. 4.5 stars.
