Felt rushed

Office romance

I didn't feel the connection between Melinda and Derek. Their chemistry felt more forced than natural.

Could have used more emotions in the writing.

If you want something quick and sweet, this book is it then.

Melinda is a hardworking girl who just got a job as an assistant to the owner of Wilson Creations, a billionaire named Derek.
Derek...has everything. Fame? Check. Fortune? Check. Good looks? Check. A successful career? Check. 
So what happens when these two start working together, and slowly begin to see the other as more than just an assistant/boss? How will they traverse through this new romance? 

This is a very sweet comfortable contemporary romance with a touch of spice that will have you going back to read again and again!!

I enjoyed reading this sweet romance story.  This is a shorter story but it packs a punch in a short amount of time.  This is a well written story about Derek and Melinda.  When Melinda becomes Derek’s assistant they never expected to find a strong attachment to each other.  Their story is one of challenges and strength that it brings to their lives.  This is a story you don’t want to miss.  A fast paced story that I read in one sitting.  An engaging story that kept me coming back to the end.  I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters and how easy they made it easy to read.  This is a great story that I highly recommend.

This was such a cute and quick read! Extremely fast paced romance book but I throughly enjoyed it! The characters were like able and I loved the little bit of spice the author threw in there 😉 I do wish the book was longer because I’d love to read more about Melinda and Derek! I’d love to have more of their story because they’re so cute with each other!

Derek is the owner of Wilson Creations, a fashion house that has him traveling all over the world.  Derek returns from his holiday early to find his new assistant.  Something about Melinda rattles Derek and he wants her gone.  Melinda has a back bone that Derek never saw coming and once he gets to know her he realizes he wants more.  Will Melinda share the same sentiment?

This was a fun read, good chemistry between Derek and Melinda.  I liked the fashion design angle which only heightened the believability of the story.  Looking for a entertaining quick read this is one to pick up.

This was a great 5 star read. If you like billionaire romance/forbidden romance you will enjoy this one. Melinda and Dereks story pulled me right in. Melinda is hired as Derek’s assistant, at first he isn’t quite sure she will work and she is not thrilled to be working for him. As they work together and get to know each other sparks start to fly. Of course life throws them a few curveballs to add a great element to the story. All of the characters also added a great element to the story. Will these two get a HEA? The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Melinda is a sharp, quick witted woman who meets a savvy buisness man who has everything he wants. Despite their mutual attraction there’s a hitch…he’s her new boss. The two team up and become an amazing duo but the attraction won’t be ignored.  While this is a smaller book the author has amazing narrative that keeps the reader very engaged. This was a great book!

This romance focuses on the characters Melinda and Derek and although it’s short, it’s an easy and enjoyable read. There’s the billionaire element with Derek, office romance, and enemies to lovers as they get off on the wrong foot. 
As they work together and overcome challenges, they begin to see each other differently and in this show some character development. The way this was written made the transition natural and believable. I also enjoyed the descriptive language used by the author, painting a vivid picture of the scenes and characters. The chemistry between the characters was built well with the slow burn romance which work well for both characters. 
I loved the characters and enjoyed the author’s writing style so I hope to read more from this author soon!

Quick suspenseful romance
A beautiful storyline, this book had all the feels. Derek finds a compatible spirit in Melinda. Together they need to face several obstacles. The writing draws you in and the characters keep you glued until the end. A wonderful read fir a lazy afternoon. Recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Softest Touch was short, sweet, and to the point. I loved the story line and the characters. Sometimes I enjoy reading a short quick romance, however I felt this one could have been so much more. Everything happened so quickly between Derek and Melinda. I felt the relationship was forced. The spicy language within was distracting at times for my personal liking (hence the 4 star review). This was my first time reading a novel written by Grey and despite the few dislikes, I would not hesitate to pick up another novel written by her. The story line behind Melinda and Derek’s relationship really kept me invested in this one. I would not hesitate to recommend this novel to anyone who thoroughly enjoys a quick contemporary romance with lots of spice and suspense. I look forward to seeing what else Grey brings to us book lovers.
