Boy does The Intern, Volume 1 pack a punch! It has everything a romance reader is looking for – suspense, mystery, forbidden romance, and hot sex. It’s a fast paced story that will hold readers’ interest until the end and make them demand the next installment as soon as possible.Ceci West is neither your typical high school senior nor intern. Seven years ago, her life dramatically changed with the death of her father, and since then, she’s spent her time trying to figure out what happened that day. She needs information, and she’s willing to do anything to get it. She’ll manipulate, deceive, charm, and seduce anyone who can help her uncover the truth. Her internship at Leighton Enterprises is a means to an end, but this fact finding mission hits a snag when she meets Bentley Leighton, future CEO of Leighton Enterprises.Bentley Leighton is sex on a stick, but he’s a distraction that Ceci can’t afford to have; too bad her body doesn’t agree with her mind. Bentley wants her, and no matter how inappropriate a fling with him might be, since he’s her boss and her motives aren’t exactly forthcoming, they both take the risk because their connection and the sexual chemistry between them is too much for them not to act on.But can Ceci have the guy as well as get the information she needs? That’s definitely one of the questions readers are left with in this first installment. Another one focuses on Bentley’s reaction to Ceci’s deception. What’s going to happen to their relationship and her place at Bentley Leighton when he finds out the truth? I guess readers will have to wait for Volume 2 to get any of those questions answered.The Intern, Volume 1 is a fantastic read. The storyline is completely original and as Ceci and Bentley’s story continues, readers are given further insights into what makes them who they are. I love that we get both point of views because a multi-dimensional look at what is bound to be an extremely complicated storyline is essential to understand all that is going to be revealed. What a great beginning to what I know is going to be one hell of a series.  I can’t wait to see how this storyline is going to play out in the next two parts, especially with where Brooke left us in Volume 1!A complimentary copy of the text was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.5+ poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
