***Spoiler Alert***Hailey moved into what she believes is the perfect house until she encounters her neighbor Brad.  Brad has his biker friends over his house at 2:00 a.m. and the noisy music is keeping Hailey awake.  Therefore, she walks over to his house and demands that he turn the music down and he slaps her on the butt.  She slaps his face and leaves thinking that her new neighbor is going to be a severe pain in the neck.  Brad on the other hand is thinking about riding Hailey doggie style.The next day Hailey is introduced to a new executive who just happens to be Brad.  Hailey gives him the cold shoulder and ignores his presence.  Eventually Hailey is promoted and becomes Brad executive secretary.  Brad doesn't like the way Hailey treats him at work.  So one night while his girlfriend is over, he screws her right in front of the window so Hailey can see what she's missing.  I thought Brad was sleazy; he had a girlfriend up until 82% of the book.Brad and Hailey begin to spend time together outside of work, that is, when he's not with his girlfriend.  They find out that they have many things in common and become friends.  The whole time Brad is thinking about how much he wants to screw Hailey.  He keeps going on about her jigglely butt and riding her.Brad and his girlfriend go to the company's masquerade party.  His girlfriend verbally attacks Hailey, but Hailey gives Brad's girlfriend a come to Jesus talk.  The affronted girlfriend wants Brad to fire Hailey.  Brad dumps his girlfriend in a limo and agrees to see her later after he's calmed down.  He goes back to the party, dances with Hailey, and then pulls her into a back room almost taking her against the wall.  On the way home from the party Brad admits to Hailey how much he wants to have sex with her.Next thing you know, Hailey is under Brad's desk giving him head before he goes to lunch with his girlfriend.  He was still trying to work things out with his girlfriend until she started acting like a real bitch at lunch, and then he broke up with his girlfriend.I wouldn't classify this book as an erotic romance, just your basic screw book without the details.  None of the characters were likable and the book could have been so much more.  If Brad really wanted to be with Hailey, why didn't he get rid of his girlfriend and pursue a relationship with Hailey.  It seems to me that Brad was hedging his bets.
