Emily and Jameson meet in first class and have a steamy night when their plane has to make a stopover in Boston for the night. 12 months later, Emily moves to NYC to start her dream job. Turns out that her new boss, the CEO of the company, is none other than Jameson.
Honestly I didn't like Jameson. He was such an asshole. He was so hot and cold. The way he treated Emily was unforgivable. Yes their chemistry was fire, but he was so horrible to her, I don't know how she could have forgiven him. I found him to be very toxic.
For the most part I liked Emily. She didn't let Jameson walk all over her and stood up for herself. I like that she didn't just accept a lame apology from him, but made him work for her forgiveness.
I wish there had been a bit more focus on the workplace mystery portion, that was pretty interesting, but lacking.
Tropes: boss/employee, one night stand, billionaire
