Falling for the CEO by Audra North is a sexy, nicely written novella about a heroine that finally comes into her own with the help of a little inspiration and the magic of the holiday season.Finance guru Meredith Klaus lost her parents in a tragic auto accident on Christmas Eve when she was only nine years old. Needless to say, sadness and anguish has shrouded any happiness during the holidays.  The remainder of her childhood was spent in the foster care system, where she grew up unloved and unwanted.CEO Andrew Stanton has worked diligently for the past ten years building his company. In addition to his firm's success, is the effectiveness of his philanthropy during the holiday season. So much so that he is known as "the Santa CEO" to his colleagues and community. Hiring Meredith as his CFO is his best decision yet.Meredith and Andrew have tremendous chemistry and due to a colossal banking error, end up spending lots of time together. One thing leads to another and they end up spending a hot, steamy night together, which evolves into much more.This novella is a sizzling scorcher and panting is not an option. I connected with Meredith and Andrew immediately, truly enjoying the sexual tension leading up to their eventual night of passion. I really liked Meredith, I found her to be real, funny and honest. Her klutziness is quite funny as an adult. While I enjoyed the cocoon the author created around Meredith and Andrew, I felt there needed to be more secondary interaction.  Overall, a solid, sexy, holiday read.
