The first half of the book I didn’t like much. It’s written like their sexual attraction was so strong they couldn’t resist, regardless of how it hurt them. They argued constantly and treated each other horribly.
Then Jameson flips a switch and decides to be with Emily, and suddenly they’re sweet to each other and it’s a nice romance. Until the 3rd act breakup, where Jameson is horrible again. I don’t know how, but they get their HEA and if you can believe it, it was pretty sweet.
Then next book is supposed to be about the nice brother, so I’ll give it a try.
TW/CW details about infidelity
Jameson had an agreement with his ex fiance. While long distance, they could sleep around but couldn’t get serious with anyone else, and they were going to get fully back together after five years of Claudia working her dream job in London. Emily didn’t know anything about that arrangement until they’d been together a few weeks. Jameson broke it off with Claudia and then told Emily. There is also a side character who found evidence his boyfriend was cheating (all off page) and struggled to end the relationship.

three stars for the drama but there’s a difference between grumpy and downright cruel.

T.L. Swan is the bestselling author of the Miles High series and has a degree in psychology. She is based in Austria and is known for her erotic romance novels.
When Emily Forster was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York after an incident with a drunk man, she met Jim. He is sitting right beside her, unknowing that Jim is exactly Jameson Miles, the CEO of a significant new company called Miles. Media in New York. After hours of drinking Champaign, talking about all the world and his wives and even watching Magic Mike XXL. The pair decide to hit it off by shagging at a stopover in Boston. After 12 months, they meet again, but this time under different circumstances: He is now Emily's boss. She has been given an enormous opportunity to move out of California to live in New York and work t Miles Media. Will they brush their one night stand under the rug to work professionally from now on, or will they continue where they left off?
The tropes of this book are pretty straightforward. It is an erotic romance novel with a hot CEO as the love interest. At the same time, Emily is a bright and aggressive young woman coming from an average middle-class family. Jim is quite the opposite. He comes from old money, has four brothers, and grew up in the heart of New York. The novel is about the difficulty of physical attraction in A workspace and the concept of friends with benefits.
Sadly, the theme of this book was relatively flat. However, Emily and Jim had significant interactions and moments with each other. They were just after another page wholly shattered, and they would begin to fight. I think the novel could have been a little bit short since all the ups and downs were a bit boring after a time. Moreover, I have to say the story is a bit unrealistic since why would a billionaire like Miles go for a middle-class woman after shagging her once. But that is my main problem with romance books, and I am sure it will be a recurring theme.
Moreover, I had a few issues with the characters of this book. Sadly, Jim and Emily always fight over nothing, have three-year-olds, and always fight about the same dull things. Furthermore, was the depiction of Aaron, Emily's coworker, a gay stereotype which I do not think was necessary to the storyline. Besides the main characters, most characters did not have a fleshed character.
Overall I did enjoy this book, and I am sure that I will read more erotica in the future. This has been my first royal erotica read, and I was glad that it had some storyline and not just sex scenes. However, I think some of the characters are a bit flat and that the book could have been shortened.
