• Author Kathryn Freeman
• Year 2020
• Genre Romance

Sam Huxton doesn’t do one-night stands, especially not with men she’s just met! But the hot guy at the bar was hard to resist and one night is all they share – no names, no numbers, just some much needed fun... Until the same guy walks into Sam’s life the next day as her new employee. Sam never mixes business with pleasure and makes it clear an office fling with Ryan is off-limits. But after-hours…one thing can lead to another. Can Sam trust her heart and her business with the new guy?

Thoughts

This was one of those super quick reads, a rom-com of sorts which kicks off with that age-old story of having a one night stand that then turns up at your place of work as the new starter. In this case, our heroine is the boss and Ryan is the new guy who has a lot of work to do. Neither of the main characters in this are particularly relatable, and both are surprisingly mean to each other along the way, but ultimately they do start to soften towards each other and the inevitable happens - a happy ending! A quick read, potentially not one to rush to the bookshelf for.
