Rika Hasegawa has the perfect job, but it comes with some unusual duties. As a secretary at one of Japan’s largest publishing companies, she gets to read as many books as she wants, but the one thing she must do is keep her bosses’ office affair a secret. So when they get caught in the act and fired, Rika's in the hot-seat now, this time with the hot new boss. Goodbye online gossip and computer solitaire!
Nobuki Miyano might be sexiest man Rika has ever seen, but he’s also the rudest, most arrogant jerk she's ever worked for. Though she loathes Nobuki, there’s something deeper between them, a magnetic attraction the lazy bookworm and genius workaholic can’t deny. Will the tension between them ruin her career, or can Rika keep her job and learn to love the handsome devil?
As the story develops so does each character and by the end I was rooting for them. This book, setting and characters really intrigued me. I look forward to the next in this series. The Handsome Devil is a must read!
This preview is a two-hour romance short read. Rika Hasegawa's bosses were fired for sexual indiscretion. Nobuki Miyano, her new boss, is a rude, arrogant jerk who appears as a hot supermodel. Yet she's attracted to him. Overall, this title has too much steam and not enough substance.
Picked this up as a freebie. It’s an introductory novella for a series. It has 2 graphic fantasy/dream sex scenes, bracketed by awkward in-person interactions. It is interesting for the peek of Japanese office culture, but the writing feels clunky to me.
