With Inappropriate, Vi Keeland delivers a fun, smexy and heartwarming story

Ireland St. James got herself in quite a mess when she drunk emailed her company’s CEO after finding out she got fired because of an inappropriate video she did not post. Fortunately for her, Grant Lexington, her boss’s boss’s boss found the email refreshing and upon investigating further about her dismissal, he got Ireland her job back. He also started finding other reasons to interact with her, but getting involved with him would be inappropriate. Can she keep away from the charming and sexy man?

Vi Keeland creates explosive chemistry between Ireland and Grant, writing brilliant banter that is so good you can’t keep from grinning. Their attraction leaps from the pages and is tangible from their first interaction, so much so that I couldn’t put their journey towards their happily ever after down until the very end.

Both Ireland and Grant are delightful, well developed characters. Their interactions are delightfully witty. He’s confident and enigmatic, thoughtful and caring. He’s perfect for the smart and savvy Ireland. Yet no relationship is actually perfect. Grant has a painfully sad secret and Ireland has some understandable trust issues. They’re both afraid of getting hurt, but the pull between them is greater and both take the time to get to know one another.

I loved all the elements that were expertly put together to produce this wonderful workplace rom-com. The secondary characters gave the story an added layer of depth while proving comic relief, the flash backs that progressively revealed Grant’s distressed past served to heighten emotions while all the fun, flirty and sexy moments fueled my craving to gobble up their story.

Inappropriate is a standalone contemporary romance by Vi Keeland. Told from both points of view with a happy ending. I absolutely recommend this book if you like fun, sexy and emotional romaces.

Although I usually love this author, this book for me lacked chemistry, banter and ‘inappropriateness’!

Bu hikaye için hafif, gündelik , sade bir hikaye diyemem. Evet bütün bunlara ve çok daha fazlasına sahipti...İçerik olarak bir kaç detay var ki hayatın unuttuğumuz gerçeklerini de bize hatırlatmış. Azıcık kalbimi bırakmış olabilirim.

Ireland comes home from a week’s vacation to find a form letter from her work, telling her she’s fired. How do you get fired while on vacation? After a night of drinking, that is in fact what she plans on finding out, how? So she sends an email to the CEO of the company, laying in to him how unfair her termination is. Grant, the CEO replies..and the emails are quite funny.
Fast forward, Grant offers Ireland her job back and he finds something about her different. She is honest and outspoken, and he tends to like the fact that she will stand up to him. He’s not the only one who has a crush though. So does Ireland.

As Grant and Ireland get to know each other, there is something about Grant’s past, he keeps freezing up about. As a reader, we get the flashbacks so we know, but Ireland is unaware for a while what has happened to Grant in the past. (Tissue may be needed)

That’s all you get because you have to read it. Rollercoaster ride for this one. It’s funny with witty banter, steamy, and heartfelt. Great read about trying to love again and trying to move on from your past.

Inappropriate is a romance that definitely takes a few twists and turns that are quite unexpected.

I liked the characters and their sparky attraction to each other, but I would have appreciated more warning about the trauma background going in, and I personally dislike books where the happy ending involves spawning babies right away.
