She is causing her boss to break all his rules.

Morgana Drake is smart, hard-working, and has an unusual addiction to cake. She refuses to let being fired from a terrible, dead-end job deter her from her dream: working for one of the largest internet retailers in the world. When she's lucky enough to land an interview with one of their big bosses, will she make it through the meeting without drooling on her hot potential boss?

Henrik Payne, a top executive at a billion-dollar company, is sexy and mysterious, but kind of a jerk. He's in desperate need of an assistant that can follow his directions, precisely. The perfect candidate interviews for the job but it's her distracting curves and unique ideas that cause him to question all his rules.

Contains mature themes.

I'm not sure about this story; it feels a bit toxic and doesn't quite resonate with me.

Seems to be a toxic relationship

This book was all over the place. I couldn’t discern a single character build up neither a solid storyline. I understand the need to appear whimsy but even the most whimsy people have some depth in them otherwise they wouldn’t be worth the effort. I mean how did the male character fall for that woman? How did the female character fall for that guy? Were they both that shallow that they deserved each other? Quite honestly, that’s the only conclusion I’m drawing from the book. But I don’t know if these characters are worth writing about. You usually read or listen to a book to find the depth lacking from a reality of isolation or to pass some enjoyable hours while your hands are occupied.
Truthfully the only reason I kept on listening were the narrators (the only bright point) and their effort to make something out of whatever this was and because my hands were too deep in clay while I was working on my sculpture. I tried, I really tried to get behind the storyline but couldn’t. I don’t like leaving negative comments but this had me baffled and angered and disappointed

The narrators were good

I’m still not even really sure what this story was about. There isn’t much of a plot and the character building is lacking. I definitely found several things confusing or even weird. Lord of discussions of poop for a romance novel too which is just odd.

Odd story line

I couldn’t finish it. The story, character development, and romance were not good. I’ve listened to about 200 contemporary romance books this year, my bar is fairly low. This one isn’t worth my time.

Gave up on Chapter 7

No meaningful story. Not a single likeable character. Never buying this author again. Love Tor Thom, but other than his voice this is blech.

worst audible book ever

I hated everything about this and I also hate myself for finishing this book.

THIS IS SOOO BAD

This book is crap and the narrator has no inflection. I couldn’t listen to this a moment longer. I want my money back. Don’t waste your time and money on this book.

No No No!

This book is bipolar. It goes from here to there the characters are going from here to there without any rationale

Do not purchase or start. Horrific writing, ridiculous plot, terrible voiceovers.

When she took off her red panties for her drunk boss after the second week, I knew this chic wasn't serious about her job and this was heading downhill fast.

And what was wrong with her best friend talking about sex with her boss to the HR lady before she even knew she was cool?? She could have gotten fired... again. Don't need to read about the side characters.

There's a fine line between comedy and cringe. This dumpsterfire is cringe worthy.

DNF Not funny Dumpsterfire

The storyline was all over the place and the whiplash of hot and cold was ridiculously way too much to follow. I really tried to like this book but couldn’t finish it. I think the author had great ideas, but when they were pushed all together, it just became a jumbled mess.
