***ARC received for an honest review***
“You’re making it very difficult
to be a gentleman.”
“Who asked you to?”
This is another short story from FL Jacob and if you have
read Behind the Computer you will recognise Liam as the man that Sawyer left
for her cover model. I have to admit, in Behind the Computer I thought Liam was
a bit of an ass, but after reading his story my perception of him really
changed and I actually felt sorry for him. It just goes to show that there are
two sides to every story. However, this is fate at its finest as Liam
definitely hadn’t met “the one.” The one comes in the form of Marissa and while
this was a tad insta-lust I have come to expect it in shorts. But what the
author lacks in word count is definitely made up in an addicting read that will
have you rooting for this couple from the very beginning.
“I’m in trouble.” ~ Liam
“How much do you need and where
do I need to send the bail money?” ~ Zach
“…I think I’m on a date.” ~ Liam
While Liam and Marissa work in the same office they had
never really noticed one another. Liam had been working his fingers to the bone
and his head rarely came up for a breather, but it is a chance encounter
outside of work that puts these two on one another’s radar. Their chemistry was
palpable, their connection was undeniable, office politics…a whole new ball
game.
I have to say that the office part of their relationship was
handled extremely well, the bedroom was combustible and the easy flowing banter
and friendship that these two manage to develop in such a short space of time
will leave you in no doubt that these two belonged together. While Liam had
been moping around for months after the demise of his relationship he soon gets
that twinkle back in his eye and the change in him as soon as Marissa comes
into his life and his bed was astounding. Marissa brought out the real Liam and
I loved what I saw.
“The way that Marissa and I moved
together was so freeing. It didn’t feel robotic or uncertain; it felt like we’d
known each other forever and it was just another day that we couldn’t keep our
hands off each other.”
Marissa was a tad shy and introvert in the office, she kept
her head down and herself to herself, but Marissa had a wild side, especially
between the sheets. Liam had certainly met his match with her, but Liam gave
her confidence and made her shine so they really did complement each other
beautifully.
I also loved Liam’s relationship with his best friend and
colleague, there was one conversation that had me chuckling for an age, reminiscent
of a similar conversation me and my husband have had in regards to our own
daughter.
“Boys would be so much easier;
you only have to worry about one dick with boys but with girls you have to
worry about all of them.”
So, if you are looking for a quick read that will steam up
your kindle then this is the ideal book for you. Fun, flirty and hot and if you
haven’t read Behind the Computer I can highly recommend that one too.
