A quick and easy read. It was enjoyable, but I'm not a fan of guys like Bentley. He was too immature for my liking, and so without self-restraint it was like watching a horny teenage boy. I never once felt like he was ever trying to act like a boss. There was very little professionalism about him and it was hard to admire a man that really was given everything in life. I didn't get the impression he worked very hard. It certainly wasn't a part of him. His POV evolved entirely around his want for his intern rather than really getting to know him.Cece was a likable character with a solid motive that worked for me. I liked that she was confident. But I disliked how immediately she turned to mush around a hot man. Are there any heroines left in literature that don't crumble like a stack of dominos when a sexy man pays them attention? Instead they're irritating, mumbling "ums" and "ohs" like unintelligible toddlers.And the condom scene? Am I the only one that was a little taken aback by how demanding he was she go on birth control? If my guy said that to me, I'd happily send him to the hole in my wall where he could "feel" all he wanted. That was very unnecessary, especially for the FIRST time.After the passionate scene, it ended rapidly and without much of a build up to the cliff hanger.The three stars is for the writing. Cumberland can put the words together effortlessly, and I'm sure the second book in this serial will be just as entertaining as this. So despite the faults it has, I think it is very readable.This is just my honest opinion. Don't bite my head off for stating my indifference. I've noticed people attacking reviewers a lot recently and it's very unjust.
