Tell Me Something
He was my boss. I was his assistant. It was only supposed to be a temporary office romance. Until he changed the rules..
Haylee Holloway has experienced more grief than a twenty-two year old should have to endure. When she moves to LA for a fresh start and takes a job as an assistant for an advertising company the last thing she expects is to have to step in as the model during a photo shoot. Especially with a multi-million dollar campaign hanging in the balance.
Josh Singer, the owner of Gamble Advertising is private, intense, and hard to read. But when he shows up to take charge of the debacle, he's surprised to be drawn to the nervous woman filling in. Once he learns of Haylee’s goal to save money for law school, he makes her a short-term offer she can’t refuse:
Move to New York City and work for him directly as his assistant.
As things heat up between them, blurring both their professional and personal lives, can they keep things temporary as planned or will they both realize some things aren't meant to end?
Full Length Standalone book with no cliffhanger. First book of the “Something Series”
***Tell Me Something is for mature audiences due to steamy bedroom scenes that are in no way contained to just the bedroom.***

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2! Tell Me Something (stand-alone). Haylee is tempted with irresistible job offer & secret affair with sex-on-a-stick boss before law school!
“I think you may be the yang to my yin,” Josh said on a whisper.
Tell Me Something (stand-alone) opens up to assistant and aspiring law student Haylee Lynn Holloway getting a job opportunity she cannot refuse. The big boss, mogul and heir Joshua Robert Singer had flown in from New York and watched her save the day. He is determined to have her work directly
Off to New York they go, settling into work, fighting their attraction and failing miserably. Plan B has them striking a deal to have a secret fling until Haylee heads back to law school. The perfect solution considering Joshua’s commitment issues and Haylee’s big plans. What neither count on is beyond the panty-melting sex, a deeper connection is formed around them playing “tell me something”…
Seven words to describe Joshua Robert Singer: Charismatic, commanding, determined, introvert, hard-headed, aloof and conflicted.
Seven words to describe Haylee Lynn Holloway: Smart, focused, motivated, willful, shy, proud and independent.
Tell Me Something, told from dual POVs, is a fast-paced forbidden office romance with mixture of fairy-tale and naughty with a pinch of angst.. It ends on a high, but I would welcome a glimpse some time into their future (which may come in next-coming books in series).

Ahhhh....This book.
I would call this novel a hybrid of chick lit, erotica and romance, and it tries to nail the key points of all three genres, but does not do any of them 100% successfully.
What it had going for it - The writing is solid, the editing well done, and that cover, well, lets just say that was the main reason I wanted to read this book, it looked sexy, it looked fun. Unfortunately what lets this book down is the story and the characters.
Josh. I had a lot of trouble with him as a reader. I usually love the hot/cold/broken leading man, but he needs to have redeeming qualities that endear him to me, that make me feel for him. I need to know why he is broken, why he won't let Haylee in, but I never see any side of him other than him giving mixed messages to Haylee the entire way through the book. An effort is made towards the end of the book to make him more human, but I felt it was too little too late, and the over-softening of him in the final chapters seemed redundant.
At the start of the book I got a real Christian Grey vibe from him , but he didn't turn out to be anywhere near as kinky as that, (which is fine by me) but he is still a massive jerk, and the way Haylee never stands her ground when he does something dickish, got old really fast.
Haylee. For someone so smart she sure as shit makes some dumb ass decisions. She is wishy-washy at best. She is all "I am a strong independent woman" one minute, then Josh does something like buys her an iPad and she is all "ohhh swoony swoon swoon."
Their relationship, if you can call it that, is.... strange. The fact that Josh was still I just don't get it.
Personally, I'm not into fashion, so all the brand labels and talk about vintage fashion in this, went right over my head. I just didn't care, but I'm sure there will be folks out there that love fashion who this may resound well with.
Props for trying to tackle some big issues in this book, like erectile dysfunction, grief and depression, and the importance of safe sex, but these could have been pivotal points and expanded on a lot more, and instead they seemed to be thrown in just for added drama and angst and then never fully utilized.
I will also say that some of the sex in this was very hot and well written, but on the whole, I think there was far too much sex, and it seemed that after a while the sex scenes got just a little too formulaic. I also did not find the "dirty talk" sexy, most of it just made me cringe.
I liked the Tell Me Something game that was introduced, but by the time this arrived, Josh had already rubbed me the wrong way and Haylee was being an idiot, so the whole effect was ruined. This was one of the better parts of the book though and offered tiny glimpses of character depth that was otherwise lacking in this novel.
Overall I felt that while this was a well written debut, but it did not know what it wanted to be and suffered in execution as a result.
Not a bad effort, but the characters and the story just didn't sit right with me, and were not my cup of tea.

Odd combination of boring and unlikeable.
Vasectomy gone awry, no real apology for accusing her of cheating and foisting another man's baby on him.
Ho hum.
P.S.
My first hero that had to use Viagra!

Despite all odds, cliches and failed vasectomy, the book was ok. Good heroine, and again despite some cliches.
Safe with exception (?), no sex, but some kisses with OP.
Big pro - this author doesn't hate women, and you feel it with all her females characters...

Haylee and Josh sucked me in right from the beginning. The opening scene which is the catalyst to their first meeting and subsequent new working arrangements was cute and light-hearted.
Josh is rather refreshing in that he didn’t always fit the typical contemporary romance hero mold. He’s both in control and vulnerable at the same time. He has his flaws, but they make him seem real. His character comes with a few twists/reveals, one rather unique, that were intriguing to read as they unfolded.
"'If we do this, we do it my way, which I'll warn you is complicated.'"
I loved how Haylee kept Josh on his toes and didn’t let him get away with some of the double standards that cropped up as they negotiated their secret romance and his hot/cold moments. Haylee’s responses to various early scenarios were commendable, and for most of the book she made a pretty good strong female role model in fiction. The author does a good job of depicting the difference among the sexes in the process.
Haylee and Josh kept me turning pages for most of the book. The first half or more is the strongest, most engaging, as they test out the dynamics of an “office fling.” It was easy to see how the two fall in love and their exchanges of information (i.e.'tell me something') were a nice addition to the romance. There’s also plenty of fun fantasy moments as Haylee gets a lot of what most girls dream about.
Towards the end I was a little disappointed at how Haylee handled certain things though. I understood she had her own issues she was dealing with, but she’d communicated so well with Josh up to that point that their “relationship troubles” in the final chapters were frustrating. None the less, it’s a good story, and I liked the way at least one of their obstacles worked out.
This is the first book in the stand-alone The "Something" Series. The supporting characters in this one are likeable, well developed additions to Josh and Haylee's story so they should be promising characters in their own. I look forward to Brian and Sasha’s story (Ask Me Something), and I hope Josh’s brother gets one too!

Wow, what a fantastic surprise, I loved this.
It's been ages since I was so thoroughly engrossed in a book by a new author.
This was a gazillionaire suited and hot boss (with issues, naturally) and his feisty, intelligent and uber efficient assistant story. I love a workplace secret romance, it's my thing, don't judge.
Ok so I've read that set up plenty of times, but it's rare that it keeps me enthralled like this did, with just the right balance of sassy humour, smut and heart in the mouth angst.
I kind of wish she hadn't done the modelling thing, that was my least favourite thing about this story, it was stretching credibility a little for me but the rest was so good, I'm ok to let that go. If it wasn't for that, this would be a solid five.
There's others in the series featuring different characters, but this is a standalone complete story and they're all available on ku. Recommended.

Heroine is young and just out of college while hero is her billionaire boss.
There’s insta lust and he makes her sign a nda and proposes her a no string affair.
They have a lot of amazing sex but he keeps her hidden and when he goes out on business parties he goes with other women.
He kisses two women one of them is a close friend of his and she’s nice with the heroine.
But he still acts jealous with her when she goes out with other guys.
They’re exclusive but anyway he kissed another woman and I suppose sooner or later he would have done other things.
And he knows the heroine had feelings for him.
He had a wife years before who betrayed him, cheated on him so he had a vasectomy.
Now he has issues and has to take the blue pill or else e won’t get it up and anyway he can’t come, but guess what, in a very good homage to old school romance the heroine cures him of all his issues, so his lil one works now like it never did before, and even shoots in the end! Bravo heroine, bravo lil one!
This part was really exhilarating.
They agree that their affair will last until she leaves for law school and since she’s a genius she is accepted by all the best colleges, she just has to choose where.
Since the hero is just a coward and a prick, and he vowed he will never get married again because one hoe means all women are hoes, the heroine decides to end it with him, even if he wanted to keep her, officially and not as a dirty little secret anymore, because she tells him very plainly that she wants marriage, family and kids and she doesn’t want to waste her time with one that will never want them.
Good girls.
She moves on, but since she has a history of depression and she’s not completely healed she feels sick without the hero and after some weeks she’s basically depressed again.
There’s also a surprise pregnancy that the hero can’t accept, but since we’re in a romance we know the vasectomy didn’t work, he should know better. But he doesn’t since he doesn’t know he’s just a character in a romantic novel, and not in real life, where failed vasectomies are one in a thousand, but apparently in fiction the rate is alarmingly higher.
Huge breakup, ugly words, apologies, and then they kiss, make up and get married.
The book is not bad but the hero was not of my liking.
His ex wife was a bitch and a cheater but have a vasectomy because of one woman it’s too much, as it is vowing never to get married again at 30.
I also didn’t like she was his dirty little secret and that he went out with other women, even if he only wanted her, but anyway, it was disrespectful and coward.
I don’t like such men.
She dumped him first, which was very good because she wasn’t totally doormat but anyway the man was not good enough for her.
She was smart, honest, kind, and hot. She deserved so much more.

I loved this one!
My favorite thing about blogging?? Getting review requests from an author you didn't know about and falling in love with their writing. As a blogger we take chances when agreeing to review a book from an author we've never read before. And when that turns into finding a new author to stalk...it's the best feeling ever. And that's exactly what happened with Tell Me Something. Aubrey sent me the arc early in the morning...and by 11 am I was already 40% in and didn't want to stop to go to work.
Haylee and Josh's story is one hot ride. It's full of bumps and pot-holes as well. And it's definitely got my favorite.....ANGST!!! It's a story that will have your heart in your throat and then drop to your toes. To me, that's the best kind of story. The boss/assistant trope is one of my favorites and Aubrey did well with making her story unique.
I'm now running off to start book 2 Ask Me Something!

“Josh Singer was attracted to me. And I’d just agreed to move to New York to work for him.”
Following the deaths of both of her parents, twenty-two-year-old Stanford graduate Haylee Holloway was starting over in LA as an assistant in an advertising agency while she saved money to attend law school. Still grieving the loss of her father five years earlier followed by her mother just a year before, this is a young woman very much immersed in grief; she’s functioning and coping, but she’s really only going through the motions of life. During an important client’s photo shoot thrown into disarray by a temperamental supermodel in full-on diva mode, Haylee steps in and unwittingly saves the day. In the process she catches the attention of not only the photographer, but her boss’s boss, Josh Singer. Impressed by her loyalty to her jerk of a boss, her pitch-in-and-get-it-done spirit and her quietly unassuming beauty, he offers her a position as his assistant including a relocation to New York.
“…the way she looked at me, like she could never get enough, was a powerful thing.”
An introvert forced to be an extrovert, thirty-three-year-old Josh Singer’s intense brooding masks his discomfort in social situations. An extremely private man, the wealthy owner of Gamble Enterprises doesn’t trust easily, and he’s got good reasons. Captivated immediately by Haylee during the ill-fated photo shoot, he knows he shouldn’t go there with her, but he just cannot stop himself. Parameters are set, an understanding is reached, and because of Haylee’s law school plans, an expiration date is inevitable.
“After the death of my parents, I haven’t trusted happiness. I don’t know how to.”
Traveling the world dealing with Josh’s many business ventures gives them plenty of time alone together. Sizzling attraction crackles between the two of them, and the more time they spend together, the closer they become. But between Haylee’s unwillingness to embrace happiness for fear of being hurt and Josh’s trust issues – issues he hasn’t trusted Haylee with yet – both of them are holding back. Add to that the fact that Josh does not want marriage or children and regardless of their explosive chemistry, in the end, they wouldn’t be a match because Haylee does want those things. And the clock continues to tick down on their time together before she leaves for school…
“You said you wanted more, and I’m showing you I can give you that.”
It takes the realization that Haylee is really leaving to wake Josh up, and he immediately launches an attempt to get her to realize they could continue their time together, it doesn’t have to end. But that wasn’t what Haylee agreed to, and regardless of the fact that she knows she loves him, she believes it will hurt more to deepen her attachment only to have it end further down the line. In the aftermath of a health related incident and a startling revelation, the advice from two of her newly acquired friends finally sinks in, and Haylee begins the process of peeling back the layers of her grief and dealing with it.
“Whether it was one day, one year or a lifetime, I knew I needed to grab onto happiness with both hands.”
They both take huge steps to deal with their issues both individually and as a couple. Will it be enough? Can Josh overcome his issues and allow himself to fully trust Haylee? Will Haylee let go of her belief that no one will ever be there for her long-term?
“I think you’ve given me the world.”
These two people were damaged and hurt and lonely. Meeting each other was a jolt to both of their systems, and the force between them was magnetic – they just couldn’t stay away from each other. They had real and difficult issues to deal with, both individually and as a couple. There were serious stumbling blocks in the way of their happily-ever-after, and the way in which the author had them dealt with felt genuine, authentic and was never forced. The author did a fantastic job of conveying the many emotions that churned through the main characters; my heart was breaking right along with both of theirs when they realized just how soon she was leaving. Josh and Haylee were ravenous for each other and that chemistry leapt off the pages of this seriously steamy novel. I really enjoyed Tell Me Something, I loved Aubrey Bondurant’s writing style, and I’m very much looking forward to more in this series!
Five smooches from me for Tell Me Something by Aubrey Bondurant!

Parameters are set, an understanding is reached, and because of Haylee’s law school plans, an expiration date is inevitable.
“After the death of my parents, I haven’t trusted happiness. I don’t know how to.”
Traveling the world dealing with Josh’s many business ventures gives them plenty of time alone together. Sizzling attraction crackles between the two of them, and the more time they spend together, the closer they become. But between Haylee’s unwillingness to embrace happiness for fear of being hurt and Josh’s trust issues – issues he hasn’t trusted Haylee with yet – both of them are holding back. Add to that the fact that Josh does not want marriage or children and regardless of their explosive chemistry, in the end, they wouldn’t be a match because Haylee does want those things. And the clock continues to tick down on their time together before she leaves for school…
“You said you wanted more, and I’m showing you I can give you that.”
It takes the realization that Haylee is really leaving to wake Josh up, and he immediately launches an attempt to get her to realize they could continue their time together, it doesn’t have to end. But that wasn’t what Haylee agreed to, and regardless of the fact that she knows she loves him, she believes it will hurt more to deepen her attachment only to have it end further down the line. In the aftermath of a health related incident and a startling revelation, the advice from two of her newly acquired friends finally sinks in, and Haylee begins the process of peeling back the layers of her grief and dealing with it.
“Whether it was one day, one year or a lifetime, I knew I needed to grab onto happiness with both hands.”
They both take huge steps to deal with their issues both individually and as a couple. Will it be enough? Can Josh overcome his issues and allow himself to fully trust Haylee? Will Haylee let go of her belief that no one will ever be there for her long-term?
“I think you’ve given me the world.”
These two people were damaged and hurt and lonely. Meeting each other was a jolt to both of their systems, and the force between them was magnetic – they just couldn’t stay away from each other. They had real and difficult issues to deal with, both individually and as a couple. There were serious stumbling blocks in the way of their happily-ever-after, and the way in which the author had them dealt with felt genuine, authentic and was never forced. The author did a fantastic job of conveying the many emotions that churned through the main characters; my heart was breaking right along with both of theirs when they realized just how soon she was leaving. Josh and Haylee were ravenous for each other and that chemistry leapt off the pages of this seriously steamy novel. I really enjoyed Tell Me Something, I loved Aubrey Bondurant’s writing style, and I’m very much looking forward to more in this series!
Five smooches from me for Tell Me Something by Aubrey Bondurant!

Review by Lisa Kane
I Loved this book!
Haylee Holloway is planning to enter law school in the fall. The last years have been tough. Her dad died a few years ago and she lost her mom recently. Her parents' deaths, so close together triggered some dark places for Haylee, but she's ambitious and is determined to follow her dreams. She's been assisting Warren Carlyle (a real sleeze) as his general "go for" as a means to make money. When one of the models shows up late and with a major attitude things fall on Haylee to make it right. The CEO of Gamble Enterprises, Josh Singer shows up and Haylee finds it difficult not to stare at him. He's gorgeous and charismatic and he keeps looking her way. When it's suggested that Haylee fill in for the snarky model she just about falls over. Her first modeling job and she has to wear a skimpy bikini. The conversation that included just about every person at the shoot (including Josh) regarding her au natural state versus being waxed is hilarious. Humiliating for Haylee, but for the reader-it's one of those moments where you can't help but snort.
"You make it sound as though it's a jungle. I simply said I'm not bare."
The shoot is a success, and Josh makes sure Haylee is highly compensated. But then he makes her another offer-he wants her to move to New York and become his assistant. The salary offered is over the top and would pay for her schooling.
"I want you to work for me."
In my mind that sentence ended with "as my personal sex slave," but in reality I realized he was proposing a real job.
But it's obvious both of them are attracted to each other. Can they mix business with pleasure? Haylee is leaving to go to law school at the end of the summer, would temporary be enough for them?
"Considering we both want different things and are heading in separate directions, I think it would be good to have an expiration date up front."
I loved the banter is this book. Josh can be pretentious and a real hypocrite (he "dates" other women but freaks out if Haylee meets up with another guy).
It was as though it was in slow motion that I watched Josh greet a tall blonde woman with a kiss on the cheek, a gesture she returned by capturing his lips completely.
I couldn't look away, not even after his eyes met mine and he set her away from him.
But his ex wife jaded him and he's lived a life that revolves around work ever since. Haylee brings out the fun in him, and as broken as she is, she is the glue that puts him together.
"I don't want to get married again, ever, nor have children."
There were a few times I wanted to grab Haylee by her braid and shake some sense in her. It seemed every time Josh would advance in their relationship, she would retreat. But eventually they both waved their white flags and surrendered to love.
There is a pretty wide canvass of characters in this story. So many of them deserve their own books and this is the first in the series. I literally put this one down and picked up book #2!
"God knows you deserve better, but I'm a selfish man when it comes to you, baby."

The story started out good. I liked Haylee a lot and thought Josh had real potential. Turns out he’s a bit of a weirdo. He’s controlling. He wants the doorman to call him everytime Haylee leaves the building and when she goes out he texts and calls her demanding to know where she is and then he comes to get her.
He's divorced from a Brazilian supermodel and this creates some self doubt by Haylee that she couldn’t measure up.
Josh comments on her sexual experience, making her sound like she is a bit of a floozy because she goes after him. She verbally diarrhea’s all over him, telling him she’d never had an orgasm before and only had two partners that were a couple flimsy couplings each. It was embarrassing. I wanted her to shut the hell up. Why does the author do this? They either make the heroine’s virgins and pair them with man whore’s or they have had 1 possible 2 partners that were unsatisfactory. No orgasms for those poor pathetic heroine’s. I find it so demeaning that they have to depend on the more experienced male to show them how their body works. Give me a break. It’s not that hard to figure out.
Also, Josh is a smoker… not attractive.
Haylee’s mental thoughts make her seem smart and assertive, but she’s not really… not when it counts. I was embarrassed for her and I didn’t think Josh had enough substance to make him interesting.
He has to be in charge of all the decisions in their relationship. He goes out with other women to maintain the charade of their private relationship. She doesn't like that and refuses to stay home and pine away for him. I loved that part, but I think she should have given him more of a taste of his own medicine. He did after all, kiss two other women.
He had her sign a NDA before he would get romantic with her.
Overall... I didn't like Josh. I wanted her to kick him to the curb and find someone worthy.

I haven't disliked a heroine like this in a while...
June 6, 2024
I didn’t like the way the fmc portrayed herself or acted towards her relationship with mmc. I think she gave herself to him too easily and most of the times she was the one initiating sex/conversations. I felt like she was throwing herself at hero all the time. If this book was into dual pov, I could give it more stars. Nowadays I am not into books with just one character pov. It’s just like half story.Every story has 3 sides: yours,mine and the truth.
I still have one more book of this author in my kindle but I am still not sure I’ll give her another chance. I will read a few reviews before I make a decision what I didn’t do for this first one. If I did, I would not have picked it up. But, with authors I am reading 1st time I try to go blindly to have a neutral opinion.

Haylee Holloway saw this job as a means to help her save for law school, yet she never imagined how much this one job would change her life.
After what his ex-wife did to him, Josh Singer has realized he doesn't want to do a relationship ever again. But when he lays eyes on Haylee, he knows he has to get her in his life, even if it means bribing her to come work for him.
As Haylee and Josh start a whirlwind romance, I couldn't help but feel for Haylee because, as hard as she tried to not let her feelings for Josh grow deeper than they already were, she knew that when their arrangement ended she would be the one with a broken heart.
I liked seeing alpha Josh, especially when he felt other men were encroaching on his territory, yet when things didn't go his way he seemed to push Haylee farther and farther away, thinking it was for her benefit.
I also liked seeing Haylee's sly way of trying to being out with the real Josh and getting him to admit his feelings for her and I have to say, at times, it was like pulling teeth. They had a relationship that sometimes felt more like a see-saw that kept going up and down way too many times.
Tell Me Something was an enjoyable read with sweet, sexy and hot scenes that had me blushing and fanning myself. ~ Kara, 4 stars

Blurb:
He was my boss. I was his assistant. It was only supposed to be a temporary office romance. Until he changed the rules...
Haylee Holloway has experienced more grief than a twenty-two year old should have to endure. When she moves to LA for a fresh start and takes a job as an assistant for an advertising company the last thing she expects is to have to step in as the model during a photo shoot. Especially with a multi-million dollar campaign hanging in the balance.
Josh Singer, the owner of Gamble Advertising is private, intense, and hard to read. But when he shows up to take charge of the debacle, he's surprised to be drawn to the nervous woman filling in. Once he learns of Haylee’s goal to save money for law school, he makes her a short-term offer she can’t refuse:
Move to New York City and work for him directly as his assistant.
As things heat up between them, blurring both their professional and personal lives, can they keep things temporary as planned or will they both realize some things aren't meant to end?

This book tries to be more than the typical tormented millionaire meets ordinary girl but does not quite succeed.
The beginning is a fairy tale.
Haylee is working as an assistant in an advertising company for a year to save money for law school. While working on a photoshoot, Haylee is asked to step in and model. She catches the eye of Josh Singer, her boss' boss, who happens to be there and who is the owner of not only the advertising company but the whole corporation under which is falls. Instant attraction. They go out for dinner and Josh offers her a well-paid job as his personal assistant. Of course, they kiss and more in no time.
The middle is more chick-lit.
Haylee is an intelligent woman, more so than in your average romance. For example, she has a great SAT score and speaks six languages. Josh is not portrayed as controlling but extremely protective. He keeps texting Haylee when she goes out, worrying when she takes the subway, and showing up at clubs to drive her home despite the fact that Haylee told him she is a grown woman who can take care of herself. Sweet? It is creepy and manipulative.
The author also weaves in heavy topics, such as depression, , and betrayal. But the problems seem to appear just for dramatic effect and conveniently go away. Pouf!
And the end is infuriating.
Haylee convinces Josh she needs some distance as she starts law school. He gives her that distance and she becomes all mopey. I hate when this happens: female ask for a break up or just time alone, then thinks the guy is no longer interested in her. She gets miserable and conflicted because he has not contacted her. Make up your mind!!! You asked for it and he listened. For once. It is a good thing.
Oh, and there is an overused plot device to tie everything neatly.

Tell Me Something is the first book in the Something series by Aubrey Bondurant and is a great read! This is the second book I have read by Aubrey and her style of writing flows easily and the storyline kept me hooked and wanting to know more about this made for each other couple. The secondary characters were just as entertaining and had me laughing and crying right along with them.
Our main characters Haylee & Josh are from completely different backgrounds and lifestyles and they have both had more than their share of challenges, problems and heartbreak. When these two meet by chance, an opportunity Haylee can’t refuse is offered and the instant attraction leads to a sizzling connection that can’t be ignored. But will their issues become too much between them? Will they realise what they want before it tears them apart? Will Halyee survive the perceived betrayal or will Josh come to his senses before he loses her forever?
There are many, many emotional twists and turns and insecurities that will have you biting your nails and hoping for the best. I also loved all the witty remarks and the easy banter between all the characters. I look forward to all future reads from Aubrey as I find her a talented author.

Haylee Holloway is doing her best to pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer, That being said being an assistant to a boss who belittles her at every turn is her path toward that career, saving money for law school is the mission. When she meets Josh Singer, owner of Gamble Advertising she is surprised he is on the set for the commercial they are shooting, but when the model doesn't show up she is told she is the stand in. Haylee is mortified but wants to keep her job so she does it, what she doesn't expect is to be offered a job in NYC being the assistant to Josh.
Josh is extremely private but he feels a pull to Haylee, he knows she should be employee only but she brings out feelings in him that he thought were long gone. Josh decides what they have will be temporary but will he be willing to give her up when the time comes?
This had an angle to the story that I was really surprised about and found it refreshing. Josh is entrancing, you are pulled in right away with his character. Haylee is fascinating, she is extremely bright and motivated and I think she was a perfect choice for Josh. Exceptional.

If you like safe romance stories with a decent amount of mature sexy scenes (that become boring & repetitive until even the author seems to just give up on them) then this is a story for you. This story had the potential to go a number of ways to make it an exciting read bit it fell short in every way.

why did i wait so long to read it
February 11, 2020
My first book by Audrey Bonurant, I was completely addicted and could not put this book down.
“I think you may be the yang to my yin,” Josh said on a whisper.
This was so much more than an office romance.
Haylee begins her day in her recently new job as an assistant for an advertising agency but when the model fails to turn up and they are left without a model, the owner of the company requests Haylee stand in, he then snaps her up to be his own assistant while his own assistant is on leave.
The chemistry between Haylee and Josh was hot!!
Both of these characters have backstories that have given them issues, trust issues, abandonment issues and as their relationship progresses from casual and starts to become more intense there is also a push and pull that will have you frustrated with the characters, especially Josh who wants to keep his relationship with Haylee private and still goes on dates with other women to keep up his image.
I loved the roller-coaster of it all, I was completely held captive by this story, I even had a goofy smile on my face at times, I loved it and cannot wait to read more books by this author who balanced the plot out brilliantly, making this an addictive read from start to finish.

Aubrey Bondurant wrote a fantastic story with Tell Me Something (Something Series Book 1). I loved Haylee and Josh (Mr. Singer). While they each battled with their own personal issues they decided to give in to the sexual tension (not before josh called his friend and lawyer Mark though). The whole story is great and it made me cry quite a few times and I did laugh out loud a few times as well. There’s something about a mouth, witty woman who does stuff to get a reaction out of a man that I love, and not in the I’m going to be deceitful and make you jealous way. But in the fun sexual way that makes the man go crazy and finally give in to his desires. Haylee and Josh go through a lot in Tell Me Something but honestly I love their game of tell me something, it was such a good way to learn random stuff about them both. I look forward to book 2 which I will be diving into in just a moment. If your looking for a read that will suck you in, make you laugh, cry and hate people all at once while still loving them then this is the story for you. And the sexual scenes, well youll just have to see how awesome those were for yourself.

Tell me Something was my first book by Aubrey Bondurant and I liked it.
It's about 22 year old Haylee who took a year off between undergrad and law school to work. She works as an assistent in LA. When her boss his boss, the owner of the company she works for, shows up at a photoshoot and the model shows up too late Haylee steps in. Josh, the owner, wants her to work for him in New York. Haylee decides to take the oppertunity. When things start to heat up between Haylee and Josh lines begin to blur.
The story was good. Josh and Haylee both had their own problems they try to overcome. I would love to read more by this author.

Sweet and intense, you could never go wrong with that. I liked the story eventhough there's a few "but" in them.
1. But where the plot has gone after all their many sexual encounters?
2. But their endless issue with trust has been going on in circles up until the end.
3. But it feels like the author lacked a smooth sailing ending come the few last chapters.
But, there's a good "but" too
1. But Josh is my kind of alpha male through and through.
2. But the epilogue is something you will look forward to.

What do you do in preparation for a book signing? You read an author new to you of course, and when the bestie says it's a must read, well then, who am I to argue?? Very good read by Ms. Bondurant, I am really looking forward to the rest of the characters stories in the Something series.
