Blurb
There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it
cuts right through the middle of their office.
Bad boys? They run
right over good girls like Georgina Keller.
But after a
confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new
workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad
boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.
Sebastian Quinn's
taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to
the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is
suddenly threatening to end his career.
Georgina can
help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do
that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or
inconvenient attraction will distract her.
Because if Sebastian
gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

Excerpt
At the stadium’s
concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level
since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?”
She gasped
into her hand. “My breath is fine.”
“I meant
his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.”
She made a
face. “Gross.”
“I happen
to love relish,” I said. “But does François?”
Each time I
said François with flourish, she
flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my
finger on it.
“We didn’t
kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out.
“So? If I
were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop
me.”
“Frank and I are clicking,” she said,
scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.”
“Hamptons?”
She coughed
into her fist. “Boca Raton.”
The idea of
Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I
almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great,
why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug
about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.”
“You two
should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.”
“But then I
wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.”
“For
someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t
seen you successfully flirt with any
girls since I’ve known you.”
I smirked.
“How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”
Review
This book is perfection..the tension, the banter and the healing that happens in this book is just really,really well written. Sebastian and Georgina are just amazing together. They might not have had the best meet cute but given the circumstances, it was what was expected. These two have some hurdles to jump. Sebastian,is reeling from grief and the anniversary of the death. He hasn't came to terms with it. He is also the master at his job but he gets a rude awakening when Georgina comes into his work place. This is like a whole bunch of men who never grew up and really have no need for it but make a really good magazine. Things are changing though. Georgina, is complex character. She has two personas. One is George. She is a take charge, no nonsense business woman. She comes in takes charge and turns the business around. Her other one is obviously Georgina. She has been put down mentally and her self confidence is low. She knows she needs to speak out but chooses not to. With Sebastian and the guys, she is put out of her comfort zone and given challenges to accomplish. She grows as a person and eventually comes out of her shell. She also has this ability to push Sebastian to see things a little different. He needs to come to terms on something and heal. She helps him do that. This was such a fun book to read and I found myself falling in love with these characters! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is questioning whether or not to read it or not.
