As a scruffy, disorganised daydreamer, Lucy
Mayweather is like a fish out of water at the high-powered offices of her
brother’s billionaire best friend. When she agreed to work for Felix, she had
no idea quite how cut-throat his world – or he – would be. She just wanted to
escape her reclusive life and be close to her childhood crush, hoping he might
notice her.
But Lucy’s lonelier in London than she’s even been
in her tiny village back home. The boy she grew up with has been replaced by a
powerful, ruthless, extremely attractive man who doesn’t tolerate incompetence
and who no longer seems to find Lucy’s quirks cute. Instead, he lectures her
almost daily on her general crapness, and seems blind to the bullying she
endures from his colleagues.
For Felix, agreeing to employ Lucy was a mistake.
This shy bookworm with her head in the clouds, who wears tattered jumpers,
carries multiple pens in her hair and has an obvious crush on him must be by
far the worst assistant in London. But he’s always had a soft spot for the
quirky little girl who lived in her own world and told the best stories. Well,
now that little girl is all grown up… and he can’t stop thinking about her.
After Felix gives in to his bone-deep longing for
his best friend’s little sister, he starts to feel more than he has in years.
But Lucy has secrets, and Felix has trust issues. When his inability to trust
her leads to a terrible betrayal and places Lucy in danger, Felix is faced with
losing her forever. Because the new, hardened, traumatized Lucy is nothing like
the daydreaming pushover she once was…
Like every other Susie Tate book there is so many
emotions with this book. You will hate Felix so much for what he does to Lucy.
She forgives him way too quickly. I don’t understand why he was so quick to
believe the lies and disregard her. He threw her out of his business without
actually getting anything from her which triggered her autoimmune disease with
cold. He didn’t even think about it for hours. Considering he claims to love
her it angered me. It did hit all the notes I look for in books and it did
bring out all the feels so worth reading for me.
