I Can Explain by Missy Johnson

3.0

Alana works for Chase as the assistant to his assistant. Chase is a bit of a cranky boss. Alana messes up ONE time, and it seems like she can’t get off of his radar. Pile on top of that the fact that when she goes out one night to let off some steam with Jake, the cute trainer from her gym, his never mentioned wife comes home early, and he kicks Alana outside on his balcony to hide. Where she proceeds to escape on to the closest neighbors balcony. What are the odds that the neighbor just so happens to be the boss that she can’t seem to catch a break from lately? Well I’ll tell you, its him. Chase is the one who finds her in all her nearly naked glory on his balcony. From there... the sexual tension ensues.

I Can Explain was a GOOD read. When I read the blurb I thought, wow... this is going to be FUNNY! That hilarious situation can only end with laughter or well, sex. And it did end with me laughing my butt off and hoping the two MC’s would get it on. I enjoyed their banter. I enjoyed their sexual tension. I also enjoyed when they eventually gave into their desires. I just think somewhere along the line of this story I started to get a little bit aggravated by some things the characters were choosing to do. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed the story overall. Some of the situations between the two characters felt very unique, but a few felt like any other office romance I’ve read. That being said I read so many books. If you’re someone who hasn’t read a bunch of office romance, then this book may feel 100% fresh out of the oven to you.

I’d still recommend this book to ANYONE who loves an office romance, with a hero who is a bit of a jerk, and a heroine who is willing to stick up to him. The story is well written, and the sexual tension is real in this one. Plus the characters each have a bit of side plot to add to their story and those were also enjoyable!


*ARC read!*
