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 The boy she grew up with has been replaced by a powerful, ruthless, extremely attractive man who doesn’t tolerate incompetence and who no longer seems to find Lucy’s quirks cute.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, traumatised Lucy is nothing like the daydreaming pushover she once was…
This is a full length, brother's best friend, grumpy billionaire boss romance.
Trigger warning for workplace harassment and assault.
Warning – there is swearing throughout this book.

My Review 3 STARS
This is the first time that I have read this author and I really liked this authors writing. It is very much British English and the book is also set in England. Being british myself I loved seeing phrases and words that I don't see getting used in many of the American written books.
Lucy is the quite shy type who has had a crush on her brothers friend Felix since she was a child. She often goes into her own head when thinking of stories and her family and Felix are used to this.
However She is currently in London and Felix is doing her mother a favour and has given her a job as an assistant, however she is not doing very well at it. Her head goes into the clouds, she has temperature issues so needs more clothes than others and she is not good at making friends. Felix gets exasperated quickly with her.
However, it is not long before Felix is being heavy handed, making her get new clothes, stepping in if something or someone upsets her, being bossy, but not listening to what she is actually good at. He just makes assumptions.
Its a good strong where the grumpy man eventually has to grovel and make up for the fact that he has been a stupid idiot, especially when something traumatic happens to her.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series.
