The first time I met Noah Parker, he asked if I was an escort. Apparently when you’re a billionaire sports agent, finding strange half-naked women in your hotel room is…normal?
That didn’t stop me launching a stiletto at him.He’s fine—good reflexes. Still, he walked into my hotel room—claiming it’s his—and has no plans on leaving.Neither do I.
Which is how I end up sharing a bed with Mr. Jerk.Platonically…more or less. Nothing happened, I just might have had a few naughty thoughts and some very pleasant dreams.
He’s hot, all right? A hot jerk. Volcanic levels of hotness.But a jerk nonetheless.Like when he fires his assistant in front of me.And then asks me if I want the job.Only a 5-star, card-carrying, world-revolves-around-me, A—hole would be so brazen.
But he’s also paying me triple what my newspaper assistant job did. Giving me access to legit superstars.Starring in my dirtiest of fantasies. And that’s a problem.Because I can’t fall for my bosshole.They say he always gets what he wants. But he’s not getting me.

My Review
Due to a reservation mishap at the hotel, Maddy finds herself sharing her suite with Noah, a high-profile sports agent who might have mistaken her for someone else when they first met. This unusual start leads her to a role as his personal assistant.Their initial misunderstandings aside, Maddy and Noah instantly connect. She challenges him and introduces fresh business angles, while the sparks between them are undeniable. As the boundaries between work and romance begin to blur, they dive deep into their relationship. However, everything takes a turn when a figure from Maddy’s past threatens their budding romance, potentially causing a scandal for the company and tarnishing her reputation. With growing challenges pushing them apart, they must decide if their relationship is worth the potential backlash. The emotional climax was deeply touching.
I loved the dynamic between Maddy and Noah. Maddy was the ideal counterpart for him, helping him pause and notice the world around him, and she had a unique ability to make people confide in her. While Noah appeared to be a strict boss, his relentless drive and constant need to plan and control sometimes blinded him to his surroundings.Maddy and Noah’s journey was intense, but they ultimately find their deserved happy ending. Overall, It was an endearing read to me.
