Ps: this book can be read as a standalone, but is an excellent set up for the second book Romance Recipe about Wesley’s sister Amy! I read that one first, but was still able to read both out of order!

I know that the boss/employee dynamic can be done well (eg. Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner) but this doesn't reach there for me. The quality of writing is fine, it's pretty steamy, I'm sure it's very enjoyable for other people, but the whole thing just made me feel uncomfortable. I'll skim through the rest to see what happens but this book isn't for me.

Well 9 sex scenes really is something else. I will say the age gap paired with a boss-intern relationship was WEIRD. The intern is 25 the boss is 30 so it's not gross in that creepy sense. The book does explore power imbalances in an interesting way where it really takes into account how that affects the relationship. As someone who is really squicky about that...this book didn't feel like it was exploitative. It certainly felt like an even playing field.
