The Comebacks Book 0.5: Cherry Picker by AJ Truman

The Comebacks Book 0.5

 Bill

At the end of a long business conference, I’m eager to get home to my daughter. But a snowstorm strands me in Chicago for the night with my assistant Tate Cherry.

He’s very cute and very off-limits, no matter how much he’s flirting with me tonight. My willpower is put to the test though, when we’re forced to share a hotel room.

Even more so when he makes me an offer I’m unable to refuse.

Tate

After two years of working under Bill Crandell, and fantasizing about being under him in other ways, fate is shining down on me. Tonight will finally be the night we consummate the unnerving tension crackling between us.

It’s my last shot with Bill. I can’t screw it up and develop real feelings for my boss. Not tonight.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Bill has had a very long crush on his assistant. A cliche, he knows. But how can he not have feelings for Tate when he has spent the last two years getting to know him? But he won’t cross that line. Even when they are stranded in a blizzard overnight waiting for their flight back home and have to share a room. He’ll resist. But when Tate makes an unexpected move, well Bill’s willpower is only so good. Tate has wanted Bill for two years and tonight is the night he is taking his shot. Maybe Bill won’t return his feelings completely, and it will be one night only. But he’ll take it. Neither are prepared for the chemistry between them once they finally give in to the attraction or that fact that neither want to let the other go. This was a sweet story to open the series. Bill is the leader of the Comebacks, the hockey team he puts together with his friends. And we get a nice sweet story between him and Tate. I remember really liking book one, so I was glad to come back to this world as I wait for book two’s release!
