"An intoxicating blend of wholesome sweetness and tear-off-your-clothes steam...Ruby Barrett's writing leaves me breathless." —Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate
"Sexy, smart, and fiercely feminist." —Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test
A meet-cute gone wrong is the start of a surprising courtship in this fresh, modern take on the workplace romance from debut author Ruby Barrett
Corrine Blunt knows what people think of her—she's an icy, unapproachable executive. It's the price she's had to pay to get to the top. But there's knowing you have a reputation in the office, and there's hearing your new intern laugh when someone calls you "Blunt the C*nt" in the elevator on his first day.
She'd hoped to finally find an ally in Wesley Chambers, but she's not about to let him off the hook for joining the office boys' club. Taking refuge in the professional boundaries between them, she relegates Wes to assistant work—which would do the trick, if he weren't so eager to prove he's a decent human being.
Wes is sincerely apologetic, insisting it was a misunderstanding, and to her surprise, Corrine believes him. Being forced to work together was one thing, but long hours at the office with what turns out to be a kind, thoughtful man soon has their business relationship turning personal, and things get complicated—fast. Could this be something more serious than either of them dared to hope for? Or is their relationship just playing into the harmful power dynamics Corrine's had to endure her entire career?

      DEBUT Wesley Chambers knows that starting at the bottom of the ladder as a corporate marketing intern won't be easy. After taking two years away from work, he's determined to make up for lost time. Unfortunately, a poorly timed nervous laugh on his first day starts off Wes's relationship with his no-nonsense boss, Corinne Blunt, firmly on the wrong foot. Corinne has no time for interns who laugh at sexist jokes, no matter how talented or good-looking they are. She's worked hard to get to where she is, and she isn't interested in helping advance Wesley's career--that is, until he offers an explanation and an apology, which, to her surprise and his, she accepts. The two of them build trust as they begin to work closely together and discover they have more in common than they thought. The problem? Romance between a superior and an intern is not an option. Readers drawn in by the cheerful cover who are expecting a romantic comedy may find Barrett's debut surprisingly heavy: both main characters navigate a parent's cancer treatment, Corinne is sexually harassed by her own boss, and there is a tricky power imbalance between the couple. VERDICT An engaging debut featuring intense feelings and situations, with plenty of heat.--Jessica Moore, Milwaukee P.L.
