Status Updates From Business as Usual

Jamie and Darren are such predictable characters...

I was craving a book in which the author knows that not everything is fast lust and sexy times, and there's a foundation built.-

I'm liking the direction this is going...

This was really good! lets see the epilogue !

Finally. I feel a five star in the making.

// Having worked for a time in Mergers & Acquisitions and having an intimate knowledge of how companies, corporations, and takeovers work, I can sincerely say I am not surprised by what's happening here. Also, even in a fictional setting, I am pissed off. I dislike seeing the combined vision of Darren and his late partner [Ethan] burn to the ground like that :-/!! I feel like going on a crusade for him.

// ... This apathy I’ve found myself in has a name. It has a face. It has a smile that brings out the dimple on its left cheek. And it has a very specific tableau that plays on a loop in my head: My business partner and the love of my life, Ethan Samuels, lying dead on the floor, surrounded by a pool of his own vomit."

~ WOW!! Right off the bat, so deeply moving, so profound, so ... SAD :-/!!

// "Some people might call this malaise that’s gripped my life depression, but depression to me is something without much of an explanation. It comes and goes as it pleases, with no root cause and no immediate solution. It’s not sadness or grief, just a thick sea of nothingness.

...

I have so many things to be reading other than this and I'm not sure I even care that much about the book. possible dnf. Book is well written, there's just something not quite right for me.

Feel free to start the romance at any time now.



The MC's have had one scene together, but I can give you a rundown of the company products and specs.
