There are 3 parts to The Intern serial.  I recommend these novellas be read in order:Part 1: The Intern IPart 2: The Intern IIPart 3: The Intern IIIIn The Intern (part 1) we meet high school student Cecilia West, Ceci seven years after her father was brutally murdered in front of her eyes.  Ever since she has been on a mission to solve his killing.  While attending school she is plotting how to weasel her way into Leighton Enterprises a company with vast access to crime information, data and statistics.  Using her sister's identity she lands an internship.Prodigal son, ex-model and CEO in training Bentley Leighton is her new boss.  From the moment he laid eyes on Ceci he knew she was the best candidate, but also dangerous to his sanity considering his company's strict fraternization policy.The Intern follows Bentley and Ceci as the fight their attraction (and fails miserably) while a focused Ceci continues to plot and learn her way around.  Will she be able to work this closely and still keep her secrets?CECILIA WEST, "Ceci": 18 years/Student/Dark blond.Cecilia West, Ceci is a girl on a mission.  Five words to describe Ceci: Determined, smart, relentless, focused and confident.BENTLEY LEIGHTON: 24 years/Heir/CEO in training/Ex-model/Blond-brown hair/Tattoo.Bentley Leighton is somewhat immature for his age, but there is no denying his attraction to Ceci as the first time he heard her giggle his c*** stirred.  Five words to describe Bentley: Loyal, immature, smart, despondent and conflicted.Plot has a little bit of everything; suspense, mystery, forbidden romance and drama!  Story as well as their relationship moved a long a fast pace as Bentley and Ceci had a bit of insta-attraction followed by insta-lust.  I struggled bit to connect with either most likely due to their ages in comparison to mine.Needless to say The Intern, part 1 ends with a nail-biting cliffy, but fortunately part 2: The Intern II will be released shortly!Forbidden Romance!  Suspenseful plot!  Entertaining story-telling!***Hero rating: 3.5 starsHeroine rating: 3.5 starsSexual tension rating: 3.5 starsSex scenes rating: 4 starsSex scenes frequency: 4 starsPlot rating: 4 starsDialogue rating: 4 starsStorytelling rating: 4.5 starsStory ending rating: N/ABook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): N/A************************************************Overall rating: 3.75-4 starsWould I re-read this story: Probably not.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.A gifted copy was provided to me by author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
