Ok so this started out well but then it went all over the place:
Ezra sees his Olympic career die after an accident. When a year after that he decides to get a job, he goes to interview for a janitor position at Gabriel’s company. Instead of getting the job everyone is suddenly inspired and think he should become the new face of the company and use his story to inspire people. I’m sorry but I don’t get what’s inspiring about his story: he had to stop competing, didn’t do anything for a year and has his offer land on his laps out of nowhere. How is he supposed to inspire people if there’s no tale of struggle after his accident. Maybe it would have worked better if you had seen him on page go through those hard months. Struggling with mental health, trying to find a new purpose,…But here it’s just so sudden and not very inspirational IMO.
Then Gabriel the big boss is drooling all over Ezra but of course they can’t do anything about it because they’re boss/employee, right? They go to NYC, Gabriel drunkenly confesses his desires, they go home and suddenly MIRACLE, they have a solution to their horny problem: after Ezra realises that Gabriel wants to be bossed around by a working class type of man, he shows up at Gabriel’s office dressed up in an honest to god hard hat and work boots outfit and goes all dom on Gabriel. That’s it, that’s their solution. Apparently being all kinky suddenly made all the reality disappear. After they have sex (in a scene where Gabriel is tied up but also is not since he can move his legs easily?) we jump to 1 year and 3 years later scenes with no mention of what Ezra’s life has been since they had sex. Are they all really ok with the fact that the boss is in a relationship with his employee? How did Ezra adapt to his new life and his inspirational job? Also how did he manage to make enough money with this to buy his parents a house IN JUST 1 YEAR????
I think the problem is that a lot of things were underdeveloped: the fact that Gabriel wants to be dominated in bed, the work situation, Ezra’s life after the accident,…
Also there were some weird repetitions just 2 sentences apart once or twice and some dialogues felt really stiff and not natural at all. Especially once Ezra goes all dom, it felt ridiculous.

Ezra & Gabriel
Rating: 3.3 ⭐
- Boss/Employee
- Age Gap
- Former Olympian/CEO
- Rich/Poor
- Opposites Attract
- Instalust
This is the seventh book in the Making It series and can be read as a standalone novella. Overall, entertaining to watch them try to fight their attraction where everything happens within a few days of meeting each other and working together.
With this being a novella, you surprisingly get more plot than heat, since that doesn't come until like 75% into the book (only one full scene). Ezra went into apply for a janitor’s position but ends up with a job he never expected and one that could actually still help him fulfill his original dream to give back to his parents. He lost that dream when his injury took away his Olympic career, but now he has another chance so he needs to behave. These two are immediately attracted to each other but they have just become boss and employee so they need to keep it professional. Gabriel has an equally tough time trying to not show how much he wants Ezra. Once Ezra takes matters into his own hands, he turns Gabriel into a puddle of goo. After their first night together, it's the beginning of their forever. You get to see one year later in the last chapter and then three years later in the epilogue, which was a nice touch.
