Tim is dumped by his girlfriend, Jennifer, before the office's Christmas party. He starts drinking heavily. His intern, Jax, tries to stop him from getting drunker but Tim is not having that. He grabs Jax and takes him to his office where he offers Jax the place of Jennifer. The next morning Tim is hungover and trying to remember what happened at the party. He is suspended from his job as CEO. Jax decides to take Tim's offer. Both know they will not fall in love. But emotions and intellect do not always match. Then Jennifer returns saying she will marry Tim. What will happen with the feelings beginning between Tim and Jax? Where does Jennifer fit?

I enjoyed this story. Tim is a jerk, right from the start. Jax is trying hard to please Tim at work. Tim finds fault constantly. Jax is looking at the money Tim offered him. He knows it will pay off his student loans. I understand Jax's reasoning. I liked how Jax stood up to Tim every time Tim did or said something inappropriate. Jax and Tim both gave as good as they got. I loved when Jax realized he was developing feelings for Tim and set out to stop them. Tim was happy to oblige. Both walked away from that encounter with neither one winning. Then when Jennifer (the gold digger) walks back into Tim's place, Jax runs. I understand perfectly. I was glad that Cliff, Tim's BFF, tells him to straighten it out with Jax. He does not mince his words.

I liked Dave, Tim's CFO. He also tells Tim how it is but not as rawly as Jax does. Tim gives advice to Dave, as Dave is going through a divorce. The advice is to go after what will make you happy. Tim finally takes his own advice. I was happy it all worked out. I loved Jax's dad's reaction.

I cannot wait to dive into the next book. ( )
