Instant Chemistry!!!

Dro and Esme's chemistry was off the charts from the very beginning, and they found love in the workplace. Esme was a boss lady who knew what she wanted and supported Dro's endeavors throughout the whole book. They ended up not letting anything stand in the way of their relationship which I loved. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I recommend you check it out as well.

Blurred Lines

What a cute story! …“The Apprentice” was a great work place romance read. I appreciated Dro diligence and the journey of both Esme & Dro navigating the obvious chemistry between the two of them to maintain a professional environment (even though there wasn’t an explicit no fraternization policy). Nonetheless, the heart (and other parts 🤭🤷🏾‍♀️) wants what it wants, when & how it wants it & as frequently it can get it‼️Consequently, sometimes it best just to concede to the enviable & blur the lines respectfully. Now all parties (personal & corporate) are satisfied!….well, at least until the announcement 🤭🤷🏾‍♀️‼️

The Apprentice

I really enjoyed the energy that bounced off Esme & Dro. This was a medium paced read. I did kind of feel like skipped scenes but it still flowed well! I loved how Esme believed in Dro she just had to have a way to get him seen by others. I loved the way Dro believed in himself. He showed that he’d do anything so he could love her properly! Now they both have what they wanted plus so much more!

Torryn, I wanted more!!! Esme and Dro, when the bond and chemistry is so undeniable that no matter the place or time you’re drawn to one another! When a man loves and wants you before you can even comprehend what’s happening! When he steps up to show that not one barrier will come between making you his woman!!! This is my 1st read by this author and won’t be my last

Great Teachers

Short cute read! Esme and Dro had an immediate connection. The chemistry was strong. Their vibe was only off once, when they couldn't figure out how to navigate and keep separate a work and personal relationship.
They found each other and ran with it. Perfect timing.

Loving this author more and more.

If you love finding romance on the job, this is a story for you. Two mature adults meeting at the right time. Esme & Dro were.perfect.for.each other. They were able to lift one another up and discover their passion. The family and friendships were refreshing as well.
I would love to see more Dro and Esme

We Found Love

Great love story. Drop and Esme both were driven,but needed love.
These two were made for each other. The lovemaking was off the charts.
Disappointed that the story ended before we found about the pregnancy.
