 This workplace romance reminded me somewhat of the Japanese manga "Sekaiichi Hatsukoi," but luckily without the rape-y undertone. Instead, the mutual pining and the resulting romance between grumpy boss and sunshine assistant was genuine, sweet, and spicy. As a fan of supernatural TV shows and fan fiction, I loved the setting and the background story as well. I only wish some of Lewis' mean comments during a particular scene would have been resolved better by the end, but otherwise this was an enjoyable romance.
