Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren
1.0

God, this was horrible. It couldn't have been written that long ago so how, in the #metoo era, did anyone think it was a good idea to have the romantic hero of their novel, grope their intern within the first few pages of the book? And then that groping leads to immediate sex? It is just too much. It's not that people can't write about workplace romance anymore but these characters presumably hated each other on page 1. Then the boss who has 100% of the power in this situation makes a grab for the intern. No talking, no banter, no chemistry. Not ok.
