Review:  This book was great, it was a little slow at first, but lately I have been falling in love with books that have playful bantering because it is cute and sweet.

Liis (pronounced as Leese) is sweet and is married to her job, and is not looking for a relationship since she just got out of one.  She just gets into the city and she runs into Travis Maddox and somethings happen only to find out  that he is her boss and some unspeakable things happened between them.

Travis Maddox is tough on his employers and when he hired a new person that knows Japanese to help him  make sure that his employer are not going behind his back when they are interviewing people. 

Travis is hard on Liis, but Liis is not any easier on Travis. She makes him go crazy and yet he promotes her and tells her how good she is doing.

People on the force mainly marks is worried that a romance happening in the office will ruin Travis all over again. He has already been ruined once and he could not handle it happening a second time.

This book made me frustrated sometimes because it would not move along. They would start to move forward only to back track more steps than they moved forward. This book was well written and I love all of Jamie McGuire’s work. I cannot wait for more.
