Let’s start with the reasons why I did not give this a five.<br />The plot is, well, we have all read our fair share of office romances. Naïve girl who does not think she is pretty? Check. Alpha boss slash womanizer? Check. By the end of the book I felt deceived. Deceived because it gave Fifty Shades vibe in the beginning that I was actually waiting for the H to reveal that he is into BDSM because of the numerous times he mentioned “pleasure” with those hints. Seriously; I thought when he said that he does not want to hurt her, that she does not know everything about him, and all those pleasure-related innuendos, I really thought he is going to reveal his playroom. So the ending was a bit of a turn down for me. There was no big revelation or anything; he was just being a typical male with womanizing history. <br />Also, the cat and mouse chase is fun and sexy when there’s enough banter between the leads. Banters that make me as a reader grin like an idiot while reading them. I am not saying that there is none; what I’m saying is that there are not enough of those banters.<br />Now why I will not flunk this book?<br />First, I do appreciate how the author tried to build-up of chemistry. Although I mentioned that there were not enough banters in the book, the tension was described in details. It was a very descriptive book, that though there are times that I dislike the h’s POV, I can feel what she is feeling with the H.<br />The male lead can also be charming at times. Like I mentioned, he gave a Christian Grey vibe, though in the end it was not what was happening. (Imagine the budding O that did not came, lol) I was not very satisfied, but he has moments – mysterious boss who keeps on hinting and never seem to be out of innuendos.<br />Overall, it was good. Not that great, but it was not bad either. I think the most accurate description I can say is that it lead me to believe that there was a big thing in the end but there wasn’t, so it was disappointing, but since I enjoyed the ride, I’m going to give it a 3.5 to 4 stars.<br /><br /> <br/><br/> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/57537580-dannah-leizl-alcayaga">View all my reviews</a>
