This book is about Savannah Grace Monroe, a pretty brilliant young woman who becomes COO for Baxter Technologies. The owner is Warren Bexley, CEO, who is 15 years her senior and unmarried. When Savannah interviewed for the job, she is 26, but Warren decides she is the best person for the job. 4 years later, they are friends, but each is hiding an attraction to the other. The story is well written, with fully developed characters. Chapters alternate between Savannah and Warren, giving their points of view. In addition to being and age-gap, boss and equal subordinate, the story introduces Savannah proposing a “Just Once” encounter, which changes their friendship. And the author, to make this even more interesting adds blackmail to Warren’s plate.
I enjoyed this book very much, and my only issue is that it seemed to go on too long- I’d have suggested about 50 pages or so less of the back and forth between Savannah and Warren. Other than my issue, the story is satisfying and complete. I was given an ARC of the book through Booksprout, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
