Review originally posted here: [...]What do I think of when I read the title and saw the cover? Some company  fixing up relationships or something to that extent. I thought this would be some ditzy and entertaining novel, but I presumed wrong. The cover made it look like a fun read, but this is one book that we shouldn't judge by the cover. The cover is far from what the story is about. Fair warning: I'm not easily pleased with contemporary books, and I like them like I like my doughnuts - with a lot of delicious filling. It needs me to feel so much for it because it's so close to real life, and humor goes a long way too.The whole story just fell flat for me. I didn't really care much for it and I am glad that it was a really short book. I find it extremely boring. I personally think it was poorly written and lacks proper editing. The story is quite simple. A judgmental Lexi doesn't want to work at Wayne's company because it was nothing like her typical corporate setting, and thought poorly of Wayne on their first meeting. Wayne judged Lexi to be incapable because of how she dressed. But they both give each other a chance, and Lexi proves her worth to the company. Their attraction grows stronger, but they would not dare act on it. Most of the book consisted of Wayne and Lexi pining for each other while assuming that each other was not interested in a relationship between the two of them. The attraction seemed more physical than anything else. They didn't really spend a lot of time getting to know each other.For an intelligent woman, Lexi acts so irrationally due to her attraction to Wayne. She assumes too easily without knowing the facts, and doesn't even bother to listen to reason. I find her extremely annoying because of the way she thinks and acts. Wayne is the kind of guy who doesn't really care much that girls are hanging over his shoulder even if he has no interest for them at all. And it took him more than long enough to confess his feelings.  The only good trait that both of them have is their passion for their work or company. Other than that, I do not find anything to like of them.I honestly wanted to love this book, but I simply could not. It was predictable and shallow.
