Strictly Business
by Carrie Elks
You know that post-vacation glow? Where you’re all sun-kissed and optimistic and determined to make changes in your life?
Well, mine lasted for about five minutes. Until I walked into the office and saw Myles Salinger sitting in my boss’s chair.
One look at his scowling face was enough to make me want to fly straight back to Europe. And no, he’s not getting any of the donuts I brought it for the team. He doesn’t deserve them.
You see, on paper, he’s my contemporary. But in reality, he’s been my workplace nemesis for the last two years.
Lucky for us we’re usually separated by five hundred miles.
But now he’s here in my face, throwing his impressive weight around and driving everybody crazy with his demands.
Especially me.
Good thing he doesn’t know the big decision I made while I was away.
That I’m going to try for a baby. Alone.
If he ever finds out he’ll never let me hear the end of it.
So let’s keep it between us. Okay?
Strictly Business is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance. Expect some hot scenes, a little cussing, and two characters whose heads you’d love to bang together…
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
I learned pretty quickly not to bring men home to meet my mother. They usually left shaking and talking gibberish.
I shiver at the thought of my mom serving time in prison. Not so much for her but for the other inmates. They’d all be begging for an early release to escape her.
My Review:
Oh – what – fun! I smirked and giggled-snorted with glee from beginning to end and didn’t want it to stop. The storylines sparkled with wit and insightful humor, eccentric and unexpected family situations, unusual yet engaging predicaments and storylines, and a delightfully complicated office romance. I adored all these unique and authentic characters and am eagerly anticipating the next installment. Carrie Elks has outdone herself with this one.
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
