synopsis
Kinsley just wanted to have some fun for a change. Then she wakes up in a stranger’s bed, with her bridesmaid dress on backward and a hazy memory of what happened at her friend’s wedding. With a quick escape, she can get back to her predictable life. But then she meets her new boss—the same guy she’d woken up next to—and seeing him with a clear head doesn’t make him any less attractive.
Mixing business with pleasure has never been Damon’s style, and easily avoided, but the hotel he just bought comes with an unexpected perk—its manager. “Sensible” Kinsley today is as alluring as “impulsive” Kinsley was the night before, and she talks him into a deal. If she can turn around the hotel by the end of summer, he won’t tear it down to put up more profitable condominiums.
Their plan is simple…until falling for each other becomes more than they bargained for.
♦ Personal Thought ♦
What a roller-coaster ride “Bargaining with the Boss” is!! A not-exactly one-night-stand turns into true love. It’s a common enough trope but the way the author weaves the plot is a delight! Without a doubt, this is my favorite of Jennifer Shirk’s books so far.
Kinsley Roberts is an attractive character; she has look, brain, and a big heart yet underrated by her former fiancé-cum-boss. I love that – despite the initial shock upon recognizing Damon as the man she went to bed with the night before – she doesn’t turn tail and even stands her ground. And boy, am I happy that Damon doesn’t turn out to be a smarmy character, despite what Kinsley think! He has his not so stellar moment, which is somewhat frustrating for me, but still pretty ”normal” for a human being.
