Curl up with a good book Sunday: Two Weeks Notice


I’ve only ever read one Whitney G. book and that was Sincerely Carter. However, I loved that book, so when I saw she’d written an enemies-to-lovers story, which is my catnip, in Two Weeks Notice, I had to check it out. How did it do?


Synopsis:


To Whom It May Concern:


I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (& the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today.


This was a VERY EASY decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she’ll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it [his] goddamn self…


Sincerely (Not Really),

Tara Lauren


That’s the version of my two weeks’ notice I should’ve sent to my boss, because the more professional version–the one where I said I was “grateful for all the opportunities,” and “honored by all the rewarding experiences” over the years?


That letter was rejected with his sexy, trademark smirk and an “I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract…”


So, I did.


And now I’ve realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I’m stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York.


Then again, I thought that was the case until he called me late last night with an emergency proposition…


**This is a standalone contemporary romance.**


Why I Love It:


Let it be said that not all enemies-to-lovers stories are created equal. Just because you have an asshole boss and a snarky intern (of either sex since I love the m/m versions just as much), doesn’t mean that the book will be good. I think this is a very hot trope right now and a lot of people get the archetypes right without nailing the essential love/hate spark. I’ve bailed on a lot of these books recently and I’d begun to lose hope.


So yay for Two Weeks Notice! I will say that there is a bit of suspension of disbelief that is required both because of the timeline of this book and one of the stunts that the boss pulls regarding her contract that is a “really?” moment. Get over that and have fun with this story. It’s a classic office romance and there isn’t any new ground being tread, but it’s sexy and unabashedly entertaining. Banter flies, sparks fly, I devoured it and was ready for seconds.
