Review: When polar opposites attract...

I have to say I have loved the 'Talking Dirty' series; the characters, their quirks, traits and personalities and their budding romances have made each endearing and realistic in their own way. Talking Dirty with the Boss is a good addition to the series, but it was in a similar vain to the first book in that our hero has a behavioural disorder (which once again is handled sensitively). It could be read as a standalone as the previous characters aren't overly present and there no real evolving of their stories this time around.Luke and Marisa. Polar opposites. He's serious, she's fun. He's neat, she's messy. He's the boss, she a member of staff and he's tactless whilst she is sarcastic. But both have hearts of gold and an errant (and hilarious) cheeky email, a pair of panties and a stationary cupboard later leaves them with a little more than either bargained on. Their chemistry runs deeper that lust and there are some touching moments along with those that tug on the heartstrings. Add in the humour and steamy time and it's an easy-read romance that's not unrealistic.I liked them both and Luke is very sexy in that slightly tortured and vulnerable way. Marisa surprised me; she's a firecracker, but has a wonderful caring side. I believe it's the last in the series so I would have liked a little more from our previous couples, but it's still a book/series I'd recommend.(although I have to say I'm not keen on the cover, I know you shouldn't judge a book etc. but it doesn't really match what this romance is for me nor Marisa or Luke as characters.)I received a copy of this book as an ARC from the publisher for an honest and unbiaised opinion.
