What a wonderful down to earth romance with real characters and a plot that kept hold of me til the very end. ’𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆’𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒐𝒔𝒔. 𝑴𝒚 𝒃𝒐𝒔𝒔. 𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔. 𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒚. 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰’𝒎 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕.’ When Polly returns to Milford to help care for her mother, she takes a job at the college as a temporary administrative assistant. Learning that her boss is a grumpy, terse man should make her nervous, but she rises to the challenge and meets him head on. I really connected with Polly, which is something this author is often able to make me do. She’s just been waiting for life to get started, to find a home, somewhere to belong. Although she tends to be the person standing in the corner during social functions, she doesn’t have a problem standing up to Liam. And doing so with a smile on her face. While I prefer to have the hero’s point of view, this author always manages to convey what he’s experiencing without even a little peek into his mind. It’s a talent that is rarely found, in my opinion. Even though Liam had some alpha tendencies, which I loved, his vulnerabilities were clearly visible even as he grumbled his way through a few irritated words. There was a moment or two I wanted to give him a smack, but he more than made up for it. ’𝑰 𝒔𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒛𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆. 𝑯𝒆’𝒔 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒚. 𝑯𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆.’ This is one of those books that you read when you have a few hours and want to just sit back and enjoy. The angst is relatively low, the chemistry believable, and the hero and heroine extremely likable. I love a boss/employee troupe and this one did not disappoint.
