I’m so glad I requested this book to review! These characters are so intense and their relation was equal parts banter and sizzling foreplay. I had a great time reading their story!
Aurelia had a very sad childhood. Born to a ruthless and ambitious woman who barters her beauty and youth in exchange for money and status, Aurelia has been carted from marriage to marriage. One of her mother’s marriages was to Zaxton Monroe’s father, owner at the time of Monroe Fashion. Zax hated his stepmother, and like a little jerk, he took it against Aurelia and was cruel to her. She was eleven years old at the time.
At present time, Aurelia is just starting her first day of work at Monroe Fashion. Zaxton is the current CEO and Aurelia is hoping he won’t see her, since she’s to start as a lowly intern. But she’s mugged as she’s arriving to work, Zax rescues her and then learns who she is. His father helped her get the job so he suspects her and starts watching her closely. And this is when the fun begins.
Even if her life has been difficult, Aurelia never lost her ability to be positive and make the best of what she’s got. So she sasses Zax every time he’s grumpy with her, and is incorrigibly cheerful. She really rocked his world! Never before he’d encountered someone he doesn’t impress, doesn’t get to obey him, and talks back at him almost constantly. The poor guy is frustrated but he also realizes he was cruel to her when she was little so he has some guilt. She’s so sunshiny to his grumpiness and I loved how exasperated and fascinated with her he was.
There are secondary characters who are a blast and add so much spice to the story, mostly Lamar, who is irreverent and walks all over Zax and Aurelia. Zax has his group of friends from when he was in a rock band who are like his family. Aurelia only has one girlfriend Iris, but soon finds her group of friends inside Monroe Fashion. She’s brilliant, creative, uber talented and everything that Zax needed to jump start his dead heart. By the end, he’s a cheesy smiling loving guy and it was a beautiful transformation. so glad I requested this book to review! These characters are so intense and their relation was equal parts banter and sizzling foreplay. I had a great time reading their story!
