I don't know who these Max Monroe authors really are, but they are more than a gimmick to sell books. They have some real talent for telling hysterical stories while keeping the reader engaged and delightfully turning the pages.
This book had been sitting on my kindle since release day. I have been seeing people talking about it and most were positive and glowing remarks. I can't say why it took me so long to actually pick it up and devour it, but I won't be making that mistake again with the remainder of the series. Shame on me.
Kline Brooks is the owner of Brooks Media, and a billionaire... hello! Georgia Cummings is a marketing director and she works for Brooks Media. So... Kline is her boss! While this concept isn't new... what I found refreshing was how Kline was described as the owner of his business -- respects his employees, avoids any kind of contact that could be construed as sexual harassment, and keeps his eyes to himself.
With that being said, I was a little surprised he backed off from his ideals when his mother tried to set him up with a less than desired date for a charity benefit. To get out of it, he sought out Georgia to be a replacement. She had been working for the company for 2 years and he never noticed her... that must be some awesome blinders and amazing self-restraint considering how the rest of the book goes.
Regardless of that, I loved the rest of the book. The writing was effortless and breezy. Their first date goes down in history as one of the most memorable first dates I've read about in a romance novel. Seriously, I could not stop laughing and bringing my palm to my forehead. It was so over the top, but it solidified just how swoonworthy Kline Brooks is as the hero.
Another thing I loved about our billionaire hero... he doesn't flaunt his money around like other billionaire hero's we know (yes, I'm talking to you Mr. Grey). He's not extravagant in his living arrangements or his "toys"... he's down to Earth and was raised to be a man of integrity. Maybe that isn't believable to some people (hello, if I had billions, you better believe I'd buy a huge house and a decent ride), but I found it endearing, charming and one of the many reasons I fell in love with him.
What I loved most about Georgia is that she is a real girl. She's confident and tough as nails when she needs to be, but deep down she has moments of insecurity, but doesn't let them take over how she portrays herself to others. Sometimes when you're reading a romance novel, heroine's come across as unrealistic. I just sit there and wonder how on Earth a woman would do some of the things they get away with in real life. Not one time did I feel that way about Georgia. That was so refreshing.
The twist in the book was rather obvious, but it wasn't exactly executed how I anticipated, which was interesting. Despite the predictable twist, it wasn't drawn out or ridiculous. In fact, I think it was perfect, just right, exactly what it needed to be.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a light read that will literally make you laugh out loud, swoon and fall in love. Definitely a top read of 2016 for me!

Hilarious and heartfelt with tons of swoon worthy moments!
I have a ton of Max and Monroe’s books on my TBR and after reading Kline and Georgia’s story, I am kicking my own hump for not this devouring sooner.Georgia is my spirit animal thru and thru. She’s headstrong, intelligent, hilarious, and an over thinker. I adore her to no end and love how she gracefully (and not so gracefully) handled every single situation…and understands just how important snack time is at work.Kline is a dream come true as a boss and an even bigger dream when it comes to more…he wasn’t nicknamed B.D.B for nothing. I adore how grounded he is, his patience and kindness…and that dirty mouth of his is to die for. I love the lengths he goes to, to prove his love and devotion to his Benny.I am completely head over heels in love with how this talented pair of queens wrote this. They succeeded at me laugh so hard that my husband actually ended up reading it with me. The banter between Kline and Georgia is fantastic but they didn’t stop there - the banter that happened with the side characters Cass, Wes, Dean and Thatch is just as good and I love that.Max and Monroe created a story with just as much humor as it has spice and heartfelt moments. I devoured it with a smile so big that it made my face hurt and heart melt. I loved every single word! I will definitely be reading more of their works this year without hesitation.
