Total Creative Control by Joanna Chambers, Sally Malcolm
5.0
|| 4.5 stars ||
This is a romance set in the workplace, which isn’t very unique perse, but it’s just executed so incredibly well here that I couldn’t possibly not love it.
Even though Lewis was Aaron’s boss, he truly saw him as an equal and always treated him with respect. He listened to what Aaron had to say and took his opinions more seriously than anyone else’s. Aaron definitely wasn’t a doormat for Lewis to stomp all over.
I would actually say that Aaron kind of had the upper-hand in their relationship, since Lewis would genuinely break out in hives over the mere thought of Aaron leaving him or of even remotely upsetting him.
And sure, Lewis was grumpy and could be a bit obtuse, but he was always sweet and soft towards Aaron rather than hard and demanding. They often had some light-hearted banter going on, but also had their meaningful moments together: there was surely no animosity between them whatsoever.
All in all, I thought their dynamic was a very nice change from the usual ‘boss/assistant’ romances that are out there.
Aaron and Lewis honestly had a true connection and their understanding for each other went pretty deep. I loved how much Lewis cared about and appreciated Aaron, and I adored how well Aaron could read Lewis. They were lovely together, and their slow-burn romance was a delight to read about.
