“I want to taste you tonight.”With chemistry this hot, it’s worth getting burned…Billionaire Jack Grant is totally off-limits to Gemma Picton. He’s wild, deliciously dangerous…and her boss. When working late turns X-rated, it’s better than her wildest imaginings—and Gemma’s imagined a lot! But Jack has major emotional baggage, so when Gemma starts wanting to heal his heart as well as enjoy his body, she knows she’s in big trouble…
What we liked
♥ British characters, lingo's and setting. British everything, basically.
♥ Smart writing and keen characters.
♥ Playful, unabashed banter between boss and assistant.
♥ The sensual foreplay is thick - thicker than Jack's...you know ;)
♥ The foreplay and sexytimes. 'Nuff said.
♥ Although the main characters are boss and assistant (technically "counsel" according to Gemma), it didn't feel like there was anyone beneath the other. At times, it felt like they were more partners at work.
What we didn't
- Some minor inconsistencies and errors, but I assume they will be fixed in edits.
- How quickly the H lost his playful openness after the first chapter. But it was silly of us to expect that to be the set up of their personalities/relationship toward each other from that point on.
- Jack's silent treatment/tantrum in the limo because he didn't get some when all Gemma wanted to do was talk.
- Character inner monologue went off on a tangent a couple of times.
- (Loc 837) was a bit albeist.
- Ending was wrapped up/forgiven a bit too quickly.
The guys
Jack.The ladies
Gemma // Harry Potter diehard. Smart and sexy. She's pretty much the total package but also human and not the perfect model or angel that's put on a pedestal.
Gemma's grandma // She's the best...and a bit too observant. But it proves to be a good thing that helps Gemma.
Gemma's mom //
Lust at first page
"Gemma is staring at me, and the mood I'm in I feel about two steps away from going all 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' on her. I want to grab her round the waist and pull her down on my length. No foreplay. No teasing. Just her...taking me deep."--Clare Connelly, Off Limits (Loc 45)
