Beschreibung

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether he loathed me or wanted to French kiss me.
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing demure about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job…which just happens to be in my office….And I can’t fire her, because it’s my mother the CEO who hired her…technically, Ally doesn’t work for me, and she makes it clear she doesn’t have to listen to me either.
So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit working here, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.
Ally
Ha! Hold my beer, Charming.

How could you not love a Lucy Score book?

That was one hell of an addictive read. This was my first book by Lucy Score but damn definitely not my last. Her writing is amazing. Really addictive and captivating. I devoured this book. I loved Ally and Dominic. I’m weak for a good workplace romance and therefore went in with high expectations and it did not disappoint. Their love story develops beautiful even though I personally would have enjoyed an even longer slow burn part. They gave in pretty quickly but this didn’t cause the storyline to suffer. Just a personal preference. Ally was adorably amazing. Dom is dominating my mind. [ you see what I did there? Great] Fantastic leads that make you want to never let them go again. They captivate you and you are eager for every piece of interaction and dialogue they offer you. My only critique is how the end conflict and how it was executed. The conflict itself felt a little unreasonable to cause that much. And the resolve then felt rushed. It didn’t really feel like a solution to me. They never talked it out. They suffered and then magically everything was great again. I actually would have appreciated an either more in-depth resolve that involves more of the companies problems and all of this stuff instead then just the email part. It was cute, not denying this, but the Paul Russo storyline wasn’t done it’s justice in the end I believe. It was just mentioned along the sidelines. I think a better way would have been just to focus on this problem and let them face it together instead of having to hotspots at the same time - ofc you can’t do both in a satisfying way which is disappointing for the reader then. Focus on the one. It gives enough drama. I’m also a strong believer in - the obstacle to overcome at the end of a book that keeps the excitement does not always have to mean breaking up the couple. Let them get through it together as a united force. This storyline here practically screams the opportunity to do this. Honorable mention of the side characters. They slayed. Every one of them. Faith and Christian - I need your book. Is it exciting? Is it in the works? GIVE IT TO ME. but also Ally’s other friends, her neighbors, her dad and the nurses. Adorable everyone of them. This book was fairly amazing. I really enjoyed reading it and loved the characters and everything about it. Change the ending like I suggested and it would be a five star rating for me. But someone else maybe appreciates it how it is. For perfection in my eyes: change the ending and maybe some of Domenics actions and you’re there. Nevertheless a must read for all my workplace-romance whores. You will love this book, I can assure you that much. It has some flaws but the overall performance surpasses every flaw there might be. 4

Wenn die Miskommunikation nicht gewesen wäre, hätte ich nichts zu bemängeln gehabt. So eine süße, schöne Story
