Falling for Raine by Lane Hayes

 


The gentleman, the hot mess, and a little British adventure…

Raine

Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner. 

Hold up! 

I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.


Graham

I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go and that’s madness. The Horsham Group is closing one of our biggest deals ever and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal. 

Yet so is Raine. 

He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit. For some reason, I can let my guard down with him. It’s unnerving and probably unprofessional. 

But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine. 


Falling for Raine is an MM, age-gap romance featuring a British silver fox, a desperate but adorable American, and a UK adventure!

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Raine needs a fresh start and a new adventure. So he finds himself accepting a job all the way in England as an assistant’s assistant. But there are some complications. Like, the job has slightly changed and a friend may have given him a little bit too much of a glowing recommendation. So he finds himself way out of his depth and decides honesty is the best policy there. Lucky for him, he isn’t fired right away but can at least stick around to help out until they can find a replacement. But if that wasn’t enough there is one more twist to this crazy story… the owner of the company? The man he hooked up before he flew to London. Raine is shocked to discover that Graham is technically his boss. But maybe not as shocked as Graham. Graham doesn’t do relationships. Hook ups and don’t repeat. But he finds himself breaking his rules day by day when it comes to Raine. Especially because he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about him since their night together. And though Raine doesn’t stick around for the job he was originally hired for, Graham actually asks him for help on something that is more Raine’s expertise. Leading them to pick up where they left off in Vegas. The connection to one another is undeniable. They are opposites in a lot of way but they also balance one another out so well. Graham is this grumpy and serious guy who has forgotten what it is like to relax and have fun while Raine is a ball of sunshine who is endlessly optimistic and determined to make Graham smile. A really fun and cute story with these two! You definitely don’t want to miss this one.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
