Finally got around to reading this Christmas novella about Presley and her asshole boss, Jack. She has been his assistant for 3 years, and he has acted like a child on the playground by essentially treating her poorly due to being attracted to her. He invites himself home with her over the Christmas break under the guise of being her boyfriend due to needing her close by for work things. However, Presley's mom plays matchmaker and they end up in one bed for the holiday.
I felt very meh about their relationship. I would say Presley deserved better, but Jack did apologize and her family made sure they got revenge once they realized he is actually her boss. I was relieved that Presley's mom wasn't surprised at all that Jack was her boss, because there's no way my daughter works for someone for THREE years and I have no clue what their boss looks like.
Overall, the author's writing was decent and I'm looking forward to the next book. I think it may be better since it's full-length, because the novella style wasn't a great way to truly see the author's strengths as a writer.
