 Their first meeting is not under ideal circumstances, but that's ok, as Reese will never see the good looking man who berated her for sending an SOS text to get out of a bad first date. Except that she soon learns that the dashing, creative, handsome man is also her new boss. 
 As it becomes clear that they will have to work together, Reese decide to draw a line in the sand. She can't afford to have anything to do with her boss. But Chase has other things in mind, and can't seem to settle for the strictly professional relationship Reese is dictating. I loved the lengths he went to in order to get Reese to change her mind, without forcing her to do anything. He is such a charismatic character, that it was only a matter of time before her line faded away. And the chemistry between them is so strong, even from the beginning, that it was a matter of time before the lines were crossed. 
 Parts of the story were great. At times it was light & flirty and at others there was a lot of emotional depth to the tale. The banter between Chase and Reese is full of wit and quick quips that had me grinning. The flashback scenes added a depth I wasn't really expecting from the story, but that made me love Chase more than I would have otherwise. The flashbacks also kept me turning pages to see how the past was going to collide with the present, as at times it wasn't always clear how the events would impact. 
 There were a couple points that I wish had happened in the pages, but the explanation of events that happen "off-screen" are at least there. I just wished they had happened in a more direct manner so readers could have seen the interactions rather than hear about them off-handed, after the fact. 
 The side characters were a perfect match for the main characters. Both best friends were great counterpoints to their opposite. I couldn't help but watch the action in the sidelines wondering how the secondary characters would influence the main characters' decisions. 
 This was a fast paced, sexy, office read with a twist of humor. It was one of those books that just flowed, and when I was reading, the story flowed smooth and steady. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
