It could have been so good…

This sounded like just my sort of Blaze – hot, sexy and just a little bit naughty. Sex in the office? Yes, please!
I wasnāt disappointed as soon as I started to read – I just adored Maya. She was fun, feisty but also a card-carrying introvert and I felt an immediate kinship with her. Her first interactions with Jamie were cute, sexy and also very realistic. Apologising for kissing him was genius!
From the start I also really enjoyed the writing style. It was quirky and fresh – a unique voice that even made me laugh out loud at certain times.
But as time went on in the book, I started to seriously lose interest. It seemed like nothing much would happen or if it did, it was a little samey. Letās be colleagues. No – letās be lovers. We canāt – letās try colleagues again. Et cetera. I also really donāt like when sweeping statements are made to show the passing of time. āThe next two weeks were much the sameā¦ā
“…quirky and fresh – a unique voice that even made me laugh out loud…”
With those big gaps in the timeline of the story, I also felt that a lot of the chemistry was missing. Sure, their inner monologues told that they could barely keep their hands off each other but I wasnāt seeing much evidence of their connection. I even started to skim the sex scenes because of this and thatās not like me.
Once the affair came out, the story got a little bit interesting again but by that time I felt Maya had changed into a person I didnāt recognise or even like. Some random chick tells you sheās been sleeping with your man and while you donāt really believe it or even pitch a fit, you still tell your man to get out of your life. What?
As other reviewers have really liked this book, I suppose itās just horses for courses. Itās not one I took a great liking to but I will read more of J. Margot Critchās books because I can see that if the story grabs me, Iāll really like her writing. Just 2 stars from me for this one, though.
