I like the premise of this book, but in and of itself the story was just okay. I really liked both Leo and James. While they both feel chemistry between them, it's not really burning heat as they don't actually interact much at first and considering what Leo was hired for, their first time being intimate isn't until 50% in. Not much relationship building or character development. James is deep in the closet, and Leo was trapped in an abusive relationship with a drunk. I felt like the repercussions of both of these issues should have been featured more. This is the first book I've read by this author. 3 stars

I enjoyed this short story, James and Leo were good characters both had there own issues but they were good together, the job situation was a bit odd especially after feelings became involved and they moved to being boyfriends, It would have been nice to see if James ever came out and if they got married or had children but overall good short read.

Leo has reached his limit, he needs work and a roof over his head, he has nothing and no-one. Kicked out by his ex, which isn't such a bad thing as the man was not kind, a violent drunk, Leo answers an ad for a personal assistant and as soon as he sets his sights on the house where it will take place he wonders if he is really the right fit for the job. Then he meets James, his potential new boss, is asked to sign an NDA and given a better idea of what this personal assistant role is all about.

James is in the closest. He has built himself up to the house he now owns, has worked hard to earn the money he now has. He is a successful, rich and very handsome business man but he doesn't have everything he wants. Too scared to come out of the closet he resorts to paying for "personal assistants." This is not the usual PA role. It comes with the NDA, a room, a phone and a nice choice of wardrobe. There are beach views too!

Now the question is, as James and Leo get to know one another, as James discovers what happened to Leo just a short time before he came for the interview, as he deals with that situation for his new employee, he finds himself realising he has feelings. In turn Leo realises he is getting comfortable, getting drawn into this life, but his insecurities are never far from the surface.

Can a closeted business man and a young man who is still hoping to find some happiness and his way in life, find one another, be what the other needs, be the other's forever? A gorgeous story, soul-searching, spicy and fun.
