The emotions felt a bit wishy washy at times and I got really frustrated with the female lead, but overall a cute fun read.

This was a freebie series starter, and I really liked it! Pilar gives her notice, and her boss takes that as his cue to tell her he's been in love with her for years. As Pilar does her best to finish raising her younger brother after their parents' deaths, she is finally ready to do something for herself. With plans to finish her degree and send her brother off to college wobbling, she appreciates Benedict stepping in to help out. I think the cutest part of this book is the fact that Benedict does his best to fix everything for everyone else without feeling like he has a stick up his butt. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Pilar works for Benedict Murrill who she feels has given so much charity to her family that she feels suffocated. She's ready to go out and do something for herself and earn her own way. So, she hands him a letter of resignation and gives him plenty of time to hire a new assistant and train them. Three months is surely enough time. Only when she gives him the resignation letter, he's pissed and hurt.
In her mind, he's always been nothing but professional and aloof when it comes to her. All of a sudden he's taking an interest in her and proposes they move to something more outside of the office. Off guard, she thinks it's ridiculous at first. He's doing it to keep her around.
Things get heated and he continues to fix things and pay for things while showing her a side of him she's never seen. Cute and sexy and a little sweet.

I found this book to have way too much lust at the beginning. It got better, but the beginning was a bit annoying. And the final page was too abrupt. Not something I entirely like.... Plus I would prefer the character completing each other, rather than facing the same problem with a different attitude.
Other than that, it was funny and sexy. It gave me a different perspective on relationships, that other novels don't and I really appreciated that!

I'm on a junk kick, so the standards are shifted accordingly. That said, this surprised me with its writing quality: I really enjoyed Pilar's voice (points for diversity, too) - she was clever, funny, realistic, and not overly dramatic. I also liked that the romance worked on realistic lines, and no one abandoned their life dreams for orgasms or anything.
