Publisher Description
Going to work never felt so good. Three office romance novellas from talented writers Julie Cannon, Aurora Rey and M. Ullrich.
In For Your Eyes Only by Julie Cannon: Dress for success takes on a very different meaning. CFO Riley Stephenson finds herself in a particularly difficult position when the stripper she's fallen for shows up at her office - as her new employee.
In Lead Counsel by Aurora Rey: Attorney Elisa Gonzalez is happy working behind the scenes while still having time for a life. All that changes when her firm takes on a major case and Parker Jones, powerhouse litigator and her law school crush, is named lead counsel.
In Opportunity of a Lifetime by M. Ullrich: Luca Garner is eager and hardworking but her new boss is a total nightmare: snarky and uncooperative, not to mention an ice queen. VP Stephanie Austin doesn’t mean to be unkind but the last thing she wants is an assistant getting under her skin, especially one who is as attractive as she is kind.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This disappointing anthology collects three unremarkable workplace romance novellas. In Rey's tepid "Lead Counsel," lawyer Elisa is forced to work under Parker Jones, with whom she had a regrettable one-night stand in college. The two women don't take long to dive back into mutual attraction, but the tension mostly stems from Elisa's hot-and-cold behavior, and too much of the novella is spent on depictions of office work. Cannon's "For Your Eyes Only" is a hot mess, beginning with two long and largely identical sections from each of the heroines' points of view. CFO Riley meets a stripper named Jess and immediately becomes obsessed, hiring her for multiple private dances. Inconsistent characterization, a thin plot, and clunky descriptions make this painful to read even without the predictable plot twist. The writing is better in Ulrich's "Opportunity of a Lifetime," but the story struggles. Mean, work-obsessed boss Stephanie is cruel and abusive to her new assistant, Luca, who predictably wears her down with cheerful goodness. The concept of this collection is great, but the execution falls sadly short.
Customer Reviews
Hot and steaming .. whew! I
Love reading box sets with individual stories but with a similar theme.
Hot steaming chemistry made these books stand out and make you take notice.
“Lead Counsel” was like a second chance at love and this time around, it was well worth the wait.
“For your Eyes Only” feel that Riley and Jess have great chemistry but wish that their story was developed a little more outside of the bedroom.
“Opportunity of a Lifetime” has to be the best but no surprise coming from Ms. Ullrich. Characters are Stephanie and Luca. I love Luca. Despite all the “character building crap” that is thrown at Luca; she comes back day after day with a sunny disposition ready to tackle the day. Love the Ice Queen persona that Stephanie wields in her office and the reference bestowed to her by her fellow office personnel.
Laughter and love is the best medicine and these stories may be short but they have great character, good writing, hot scenes, and passion.
Loved this book!
I so enjoyed reading these wonderful stories. I was surprised to see that there
we’re three stories in one book. All
the various characters were completely
different. I found myself hoping that
each storyline would never end. Keep up
the great writing ladies. From a fan 🥰
