Excerpt:
‘I’m told you’re settling in well,’ he says, but I still refuse to look at him.
‘Yes, very well, thank you,’ I answer, giving myself a cheer for my professionalism. Then I move to the right. And so does he.
‘Good,’ he says quietly. ‘Very good.’
Biting my lip, desperately wrestling off the urge to take a quick peek at him, I step to the right again. And so does he. ‘Excuse me.’ It takes everything in me to maintain my strength. He’s like a magnet to my eyes. Nothing as stunning as him should be ignored. Immune? I laugh to myself. I don’t think that’s possible.
It’s a long, long while, but I eventually see his smart brogues shift.
‘My lady,’ he says quietly.
Damn it. I chance a peek up at him as I scoot past, catching the signs of a cheeky smirk. And, shit, if my eyes don’t sprint over his entire face as I continue past, and then down his tall frame.
‘I look better naked,’ he says, all low and sexy. That soon breaks my trance, and I swing away, outraged, marching on.
‘I don’t plan on finding out,’ I mutter under my breath, and he laughs, telling me I didn’t voice my promise quietly enough. I stop, turning to face him. ‘You know, I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR about sexual harassment.’
He grins. ‘I am HR. What’s your complaint?’
I narrow my eyes. ‘You’re not funny.’
‘Then why are you fighting to hold back your grin?’
My lips purse. Damn him. ‘Are you going to continually try to get a rise out of me?’
‘A rise?’ He peeks down at his groin area, and then glances back up, his grin now mild. ‘Too late.’
My eyes naturally drop to his groin, and he chuckles as he turns and saunters away. My head cocks in admiration, his lovely backside my focus. It really is a sight to behold, his sexy swagger executed to a T.
‘Stop looking at my arse,’ he shouts over his shoulder.
I cringe. Holy shit, I need to find some control. He’s my boss, for Christ’s sake. ‘I was doing no such thing.’
‘You know,’ he calls, ‘I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR.’
‘What’s your complaint?’ I ask on a frown.
‘That you’re undressing me with your eyes.’ He doesn’t entertain me with another glimpse of his lovely face, just carries casually on his way, disappearing through the large doors into the Grand Hall.
My Review:
Artful Lies by Jodi Ellen MalpasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I devoured this book. From page 1, I was intrigued with Eleanor’s story as she embarks on a new start in London while feeling guilt at leaving her father’s dream behind. She is coping with his loss but knows maintaining his ‘antique’ shop isn’t the life she wants. What he collected aren’t really antique’s but through her love of reading, she found a world in old things that she desperately wants to be part of. While job hunting, she bumps into a frustrating yet sexy man. When he is suddenly her boss, she isn’t sure what to do. Becker Hunt is all kinds of wrong while creating all kinds of right feelings inside her. Becker pushes all of her buttons as he attempts to push her away while trying to keep her close. Truly frustrating but enthralling all at the same time. Becker delivers a sexy alpha male with a flair for adventure. As Eleanor is let into his secret world, she learns about his true passion for collecting things, something they share. But knowing Becker won’t open his heart, is there any way for Eleanor to protect hers? I am loving the quest for antiques and being introduced into this amazing world through this incredible couple. So excited to see how this adventure will end. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
