I’m a huge fan of the boss-secretary trope but this book is was both quite a bit rushed and lacking in the setup of the plot. I would have liked some more pining before the initiation of the affair between the two main characters. Some denying-their-attraction-while-seeing-other-people-to-avoid-falling-for-each-other-stuff. That would have established the fly by the seat of your pants romance a bit better I think. Also why would a secretary feel obligated to tell her boss about her broken engagement to another man!?!? What business is that of his? Maybe he could have stumbled on that one instead of the MFC having to make a big deal out of having to tell him? Maybe find her drying her tears and wanting to know whats wrong or noticing her lack of engagement ring or anything but a whole drama scene about her telling him? I don’t know… finally.. the whole presentation of the MMC was a bit yuck. His personality.. ok people are flawed but a grown ass 34 year old that feel snubbed for not breaking up first with someone he planned on dumping is really immature and not very attractive. I wished he’d had some other flaw than that. Ok so quite a few pet peeves but the trope saved it from being one of those books never finished and Saskia is a great narrator so she helped too.
