Total queer bait.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
Lainey feels like there's something wrong with her life, and she wants to do something about it. She decides that going back to work might be just what she needs to get out of this slump in which she feels stuck. However, she's soon captivated by her new boss, Eve, who takes Lainey under her wing as her personal assistant. Soon, there's more than just art and paperwork between them, and they must decide how to handle the new-found feelings along with everything else in their tumultuous lives.
This story definitely kept me interested, as I wanted to see how everything would develop between Lainey and Eve, and especially to know just what all happened earlier in Eve's life to make her the woman she is today. Lainey's married, Eve's with Adam but doesn't know how to commit, and to top it off, there's people dying and going missing all around them, with each new problem being attributed to Eve. She knows what's wrong, but she has to prove it, and along the way we not only learn how ruthless and determined she can be, but we also get to see the vulnerable side that she's been hiding all this time.
My only criticism is that I thought it was a little long, but that may have just been me getting tired (I read it all in one afternoon/night). There was a lot of ground to cover, so it makes sense for it to be longer than the sequel, but to me it felt some parts could have been shortened without losing any information or natural flow of the story. Other than that, great novel, and I'm starting the sequel ASAP!

I liked this book
Don’t understand why the author kept forcing Adam and Jack down our throats. Kept describing them to be in loving relationships with their respective partners but their partners both seemed mostly disinterested in them except for some random sex scenes.
Can already tell this series is gonna be more drawn out than I imagined it to be
