Introduction
Good Girl is a book that I have been wanting to read for quite some time. In fact, I have only seen good things about this one here, so I decided to grab this one up. Now this book is also part of my TBR for Romanceopoly which was my pick for the "Office" challege. In "Good Girl" we have a story that is a well done office romance, it was a bit shorter than I was expecting though. I will say that if you are nervous about Office romances, this one will still work for you. The office aspects were handled super super well.
Summary
The set up of the story, is that our hero and heroine meet one night at a bar and share a sexy kiss and the hero calls her "Good Girl" which only works on the heroine. But then when she starts her new job, she realizes that the man she really had a fierce connection with, is her boss's boss's boss. Not exactly the best thing for HR, but soon they both realize resisting the attraction is pointless. When the heroine comes up with a plan to lose her viriginity through an auction, she will never plan on what would be the end result or what love she wouldn't expect to find.
My Outlook
I had such a fun time with this one, but I will be honest in that I think this is overrated. It was a fun enjoyable office romance, but I am not sure why so many five star it. It did have a unique spin on a office romance. Their relationship was done so well and I like the way that the hero goes to, in order to make sure the heroine isn't intimidated by the power dyanamic ,even removes that aspect. I did love the auction aspect. It just delivered a unique element to the story that was entertaining. And man the reactions was so classic. I did love the steam that is built into the story, the author handled that super well.
I am intrigued by this author's writing style and definitely plan on reading much more of her. I think her style just has so many lighter aspects that was endearing to read.
