Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review.Victoria is in her mid-20s, has a good job, some great friends, and is generally pretty satisfied with her life. She's not a college graduate, and she doesn't have a whole lot of experience, but she does her best and loves her job working for United Real Estate Investments, even if she has only been there for five months. When the big boss comes to town, she finds herself instantly promoted to his assistant for the length of his stay. Does she receive the promotion based on her own skills and merits, or simply because she is a pretty face? How will she get along with the billionaire Leland Ambrose?Leland Ambrose is the quintessential billionaire. He's a self-made man and is used to the finer things in life, and he's used to others providing them for him. On his first night in Atlanta, Leland spies a young woman and her friends singing karaoke at the neighborhood dive bar. He's instantly smitten; however he does nothing to act on his attraction. As luck would have it, it turns out that young woman is Victoria Bryant, his temporary assistant.I loved how down to earth each of the characters comes across. Victoria has the self-doubt that many women experience not only in relationships, but also in their relationships with their own bodies. Leland, while the self-assured self made man, can't help but understand that money can't buy anything, including someone's heart. The heat between Victoria and Leland, even from the very beginning, is hot, hot, hot!A Workplace Affair is a four and a half star read. The only knock that I have on it is the brevity...I want more! Ms. Rae has given us a fun story that is a fast, easy, well written read that gives us a new twist on the nice guy billionaire. I loved Victoria's relationships with her friends, Sage especially, and look forward to her story in the next installment of the series, A Sweet Affair.
