A line has been crossed and their professional relationship has changed into something much deeper. Could it be just lust or possibly love?

 

 

 

Under the Boss by Xondra Day was a fun quickie. Another one of those good lunch break reads.

Darren is Jensen’s assistant, and they hate each other!! Jensen seemed to dislike Darren from the moment he met him. Their boss Eric has told him that Darren’s qualifications and his work since joining the company are too good. He can’t fire him, because he has absolutely no cause. To top it all off he is sending both of them on a business trip to check out some land for development upstate. Another blow is they get to the hotel, and there is only one room booked for them with no others available due to a quilting convention. Forced together they form a truce, and make an effort to get along. The more they get to know each other the more each of them start to notice that the other is very attractive. Talk about cutting the sexual tension with a knife. Will sleeping together make their working relationship worse?? And what is going to happen when they get back to the office are they friends, lovers, or friends with benefits now??

While I enjoyed this book, I do have to say there was something during the sex scenes that got me giggling. I don’t know if it was just me, but the line “I’m going to shoot” woke up my inner 13 yr old. I think y’all will love these two guys. There is something to love about both of them from the beginning. I love stories like this where instant attraction is hidden in animosity. The fireworks that come from that tell you they are gonna be explosive when they finally stop and truly look at the other man.
