Pleasing Mr. Parker by Elle Nicoll
4.0
This was a lot of fun. It took some favourite tropes of mine and did a good job with them. The writing is engaging and it kept my attention right through to the end; there were parts where I didn’t want to put the book down.
The chemistry between Maria and Griffin was really good, I just wanted them to act on the tension between them. There was also a good dose of angst in this - there’s a lot of drama and conflict and if you’re in the mood for that kind of romance then this is ideal.
Like, I can say that I don’t think this book would be everyone’s cup of tea - it’s over-the-top and melodramatic for sure. They fall out a lot, they have ridiculous sex, it’s entertaining. I would have liked more of a grovel from Griffin at the end and I did think some of the final drama was a bit dragged out, but ultimately I had fun reading it.
Content Notes: Boss/employee, workplace, grumpy MMC, hate-to-love.
Warnings:
