I'm not really sure how I felt about this one. It was a little too serious considering the cover and blurb -- dealt a lot with grief (parental loss) and workplace sexual harassment. I also love high-heat books, but ended up skipping a few of the later sex scenes because I was just ready to be done with the book. I got tired of the push-pull between the hero and heroine (heroine keeps saying 'no, we can't do this, it's unprofessional' but then has sex with him in her office multiple times?) I'm a bit disappointed because I saw a lot of hype for this and the cover was so cute. Definitely not one of my favorites in terms of characters or even plot, but the writing was good.
