Maybe Later
by Claudia Y. Burgoa
A new to me author and a fun read. Jackson and Emmeline were very complex characters, they had a lot of stuff going on. Jackson is the CEO of an up-growing technical company. He’s grouchy and obnoxious, with a reason. He went through a horrible divorce years ago that soured him greatly. Emmeline is the product of old, wealthy parents who only wanted perfection and that she follow their footsteps into their law firm. She rebelled and is now the owner of a successful and growing service company.
They meet online when Jack’s assistant goes on maternity leave and gets him a virtual assistant to help him out for three months. Their initial emails are a hoot, as Jack behaves like a douche and Emmeline, acting as Amy Walker, whips him into shape, conforming him into the client she wants to have. Day by day, she challenges him, sends him motivational quotes, a playlist geared to improve his moods, and changes his preference for lunch into a daily adventure where he never knows what he will get. She changed him from a curmudgeon into a friendlier man with an open mind. In return, Jack/Jackson changed Em/Amy from a loner and recluse into a woman ready to trust and find love.
The big mess starts when Jack meets Emmeline but neither knows that the other is Jackson the CEO and Amy the virtual assistant. We the readers know and are biting our nails waiting for the discovery. It was like reading two different love stories, starred by the same individuals in their different personas, one online and one in person. It was crazy fun to see how each character evolved, both online and in person.
Reading this book required a lot of attention to the dates and hours of each email and text message, then checking which character and in which mode they were communicating. It had dual POV’s, dual personalities, and different modes of communication. It was a mess but the author kept it sorted and logical, never confusing, and a lot of fun. Very riveting!
