these are just a few keywords what to expect when reading Brooke Cumberland's newest book -The Intern.This isn't the first story I've read by Brooke and definitely won't be the last; I can honestly say her writing has grown. It's stronger and more captivating than some of her previous books and she kept my interest piped throughout the book and made me very curious about what's going on and how it'll continue!Her characters were cheeky, fun, entertaining and extremely likable....oh yeah, imagining Bentley gave me real pleasure lol.The Intern has a very intriguing plot that started with a great prologue and continued like a straight line through the story never loosing sight of its goal. If you like solving 'cases' mixed with some serious off the charts steam by two hot young dynamic characters, then this novella is the right fit for you.I think Bentley is one of the youngest and hottest to-be CEO's I've come across....not to mention his total bad-boy look: inked and shaggy hairHe's not really yet into his new position and would rather continue living his old lifestyle. Sitting through a bunch of boring intern interview??!!?? Hell no, that's nothing for him especially because all wannabee intern failed in his eyes.....until she walked in.Yeah Cecilia made quite an impression on him and he on her. Not only was her interest but also her body parts very intrigued by him.There was only a tiny problem: She introduced herself as Casey WestYeah problem right there, she's faking it real good -too good. But find out who "Casey West" is ;)But Cecilia has a mission... she needs informations. She needs evidence. She seeks justice. She finally needs closure.But will she find all that at Leighton Enterprise???She's hiding some awful memories and the unknown is eating her alive; this is her only shot!"From the outside, we were the perfect suburban family. On the inside -lies, hatred, and secrets. I witnessed something that day that'll always be imbedded into my mind. I also have the evidence to prove it...on my very skin."But her mission seems a bit difficult when she and Bentley get quite cozy... at the office, every Saturday.Both can't hide their attraction. Both are charged with sexual frustration -or a desire that turned into frustration because interns are simply taboo.They tease each other merciless and Bentley is quite turned on by her.She's a "cocky-mouthed, smart [cookie]. And I love it." ~BentleyYeah yeah, Cecilia's thoughts have a nice field trip of their own ;)But then, BAM!After all the steam Brooke poured some ice water on me!!!Just let me say that the ending was: OMG...how is she going to find a good excuse. Dang, the ending left me wanting, craving more. Literally my mouth hang wide open and all I could think was : BUSTED!
