It's not very often you discover a new author, read their book and are find it ticks EVERY SINGLE BOX! This was just the read I was looking for, having dipped in and out of a few books the last few weeks, this one totally and utterly consumed me. I started first thing in the morning and was finished during the afternoon - I simply could not put it down. 
 Simply from reading the blurb, the storyline had me hooked. And then I actually met Richard VanRyan and Katy. What absolutely fantastic characters. Richard is your typically mean, career driven, business focused, takes no nonsense, man. He's not particularly nice to those around him, but he doesn't care - all he needs to do is succeed in the business world. He's particularly ruthless and just horrible, to his personal assistant Katy, treating her like his slave, run around dogsbody, someone to shout at, moan at and generally make her day to day working life a living nightmare. Katy on the other hand has some private problems which means she desperately needs her job and will actually put up with anything to ensure she gets her monthly salary. Then one day things change for Richard within the company he works for, meaning he wants to head in a different direction for his personal gain and career advances and also to get revenge.... But in order to do this he has an offer for Katy; a contract he's desperate for her to sign. 
 I don't want to say too much without giving away any spoilers, and although at times the story could be deemed slightly predictable, it's actually just perfect. And there are a few surprises along the way! It's sweet, sexy, hilariously funny at times, but at others makes you angry and sad. I went through ALL of the emotions reading this story; I laughed and cried, I swooned and felt frustrated! Loved it! 
 I would recommend this to anyone wanting a lovely, sexy, easy to read story with plenty of twists, turns and a few surprises thrown in!
