| Patent lawyer Gayle Osborne is ambitious and driven to succeed, but she has a secret. The secret is hidden behind her suits and her take-charge attitude. Her passionate nature’s only outlet is reading and reviewing erotic romance. If anyone were to find out that she is “Miss Retort” she could lose her reputation, her clients and her job. But the biggest loss of all would be her sexy mentor and boss, Tyler Monroe. What she doesn’t know is that Tyler has a secret of his own.
What a cute and quirky story. Being a lover of erotic romance books and a reviewer myself, I couldn’t help but feel a connection to this story. Gayle is a strong woman who’s afraid to let others see that she really does have a soft and sensual side to her. Her fears are justified by the judgmental field she works in. Tyler is very similar to Gayle in that he is a just and fair man, but his softer side is also hidden because of the secret he is carrying around. The tip-toeing these two go through to try to protect themselves and yet garner the courage to tell the other, is hilarious. The chemistry between them is very strong. Whether it is working side by side on a case, or tearing up the sheets, the connection is undeniable. If you are looking for a good, interesting quick read full of heat and desire, this is the book for you.
