A new, sexy standalone novel from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. Terminated for inappropriate behavior. I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands. Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba. All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought… Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices. I didn’t think he’d actually respond. I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk. Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back. Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me. But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming. It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even. Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with. Two wrongs don’t make a right. But sometimes it’s twice as fun.

It was okay. This is my 4th book from Vi Keeland and I feel that she uses the same formula for her books. Unfotunatly I don't like that formula at all...
Three and a half stars... could've been four and a half but for one major problem. I really felt disappointed 25% of the way in because this is not a story about a woman having an inappropriate love affair with her boss. I thought I'd be seeing tenuous dates, trying to keep things under wraps... this book is about something completely different than what the blurb advertises. What Ireland did to cause her termination wasn't even remotely ‘inappropriate'. Grant and Ireland don't really work in the ‘same' company. There is no company policy saying they can't date. I felt mislead. This isn't the story I signed up for.
Which was really too bad because the story was for the most part a strong, engrossing story, but it ISN'T about a CEO and his subordinate. The references to what they actually do in their careers is so surface, the characters didn't feel like a CEO and a news anchor to me, just general people. I found it very unbelievable that Grant could have ‘worked his way up' through a public company to become CEO by twenty-nine years old. Nothing in his character substantiated that he was talented enough. There are chapters of flashbacks to Grant's early life which came too early in the novel I felt. I wasn't invested enough in Grant's character to really care what he did when he was a teenager and it was a real effort to stay focused on those chapters. Ended up skimming them. The story would've benefitted from the flashbacks being a paragraph here or there instead of exhaustive chapters in my opinion.
