I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Plot Summary:  Jessica is a down-on-her-luck gal. She's unemployed, about to be evicted and her lover, Storm, left. She travels from Bakersfield, Ca to Philly, for a job faire. While there she runs into a man who remembers her lover, but isn't upon closer inspection. Still the man is nice, and attractive, and give Jessica a ride to the job faire, as it's raining and she can't hail a cab.The man, Dane, later encounter Jessica while she's eating alone. They eat together and she invites him to her room, for a one-nighter. The sex is ah-mazing (for them) and she sneaks out the next morning for job faire day 2.Jess meets Melanie while at the job faire. Melanie encourages Jess to apply to her company, Ranier Inc. Jess does, and is hired a few weeks later. She moves across the country only to discover her new boss is...Dane Ranier.Jess makes it clear that she won't be working for I'm if he's expecting sex, and they agree on a professional relationship, only.My review: Couple things didn't make sense to me. Why is Jessica looking for a job in Philly? So many jobs in Cali...and Philly isn't a Mecca for business. No idea what her job skills are, but she gets hired as a personal assistant...so she's kinda a secretary. I have to beIeive she could get hired as a secretary in California somewhere, so her trip/job hunt didn't make sense.I've lived in Bako, BTW. Very few people who grow up there want to leave California...they will work two jobs to stay there, so it kinda made me question the character.Now, for the other stuff--the sex was decently described--not really one I'd go back to. No "smokin' hot" label. The coincidences are acceptable for erotic fiction. It didn't blow my socks off, and it's tragically short. 30+ pages. One sex scene. Some angst. Plot pacing is pretty good. Pricey. The diction makes me question the author's origin. I smell another Brit writing American...
