So far I have only read two of the stories in this anthology, but I’ll be going back for more!
Tempt the Assistant by Natasha Madison – 4 stars
Bantering work colleagues combust in this quick read.
Shane and Bella have worked together for five years since he hired her as his assistant. They are a fabulous team, and have achieved great success. They are also completely in love with each other and oblivious as to how the other one feels.
Neither of them are fans of Christmas, so when the office Christmas party rolls around, they are both feeling pretty ‘bah Humbug’ about the whole thing. But alcohol and mistletoe combine to create the perfect opportunity for their secrets to come out, and they may end up having a Merry Christmas after all!
“Five years,” she mumbles as she tries to get the belt off me. “Five years, I’ve thought of you naked under me.”
“Is that so?” I stand and now pick her up, her long legs wrapping around my waist. “For the past five years, I’ve thought of fucking you on my desk.”
Witty and fast-moving, this is a fun little read.
4 stars.
Professional Development by Kate Canterbary – 4.5 stars
A delicious enemies-to-lovers romance between two work colleagues, this short story was fun with lots of chemistry.
Drew and Tara are the co-deans at an elementary school (the same school that happens to be run by Lauren from The Walshes series – book #1, [book:Underneath It All|36408795]). Their constant bickering and blatant animosity has become too much for their boss, and they are sent away to attend a seminar together with an ultimatum to get their professional relationship straightened out.
Unfortunately for me, I didn’t live in a simple world. I lived in a world where I wanted my colleague so much, I plowed all the way through lust and came out the other side at resentment.
An awkward road trip, an emotional breakthrough and a blizzard later, and they find themselves coming to an unexpected, exciting and most welcome breakthrough together.
“I don’t want to think about the terrible things I’ve said to you and the inexcusable way I’ve behaved. I want to pretend I’m allowed to love you and maybe, in some wild version of my life, you love me too.”
I loved this little story. It’s short and fast-moving, but Canterbary still manages to create two wonderful characters and pack in loads of chemistry, emotion and passion.
4.5 stars.
The perfect read when you’re in the mood for short, fun, sweet and sexy!
