About this listen

It’s not you. It’s me.

No, seriously. It is me. Not only does my name literally mean “unfortunate”, but that’s the story of my life.

Everything I touch turns to crap. An apartment fire - that I swear I was not responsible for - means I’m living back at home with my sex-mad parents. Yay, me!

Which is why I need my new job as personal assistant to Cameron Reid to get back on my feet. Three months in this job and I can move back out and, hopefully, remember to turn off my flat iron once in a while.

Ahem.

On paper, my job is easy. Make coffee. Book appointments.

Keep everything in order. Until I walk in on my boss, half-naked, wearing nothing but the kind of tiny white towel that dreams are made of.

Now, nothing is easy - except for our mutual attraction. But he’s my boss, and you know what they say about mixing work and pleasure: unless you do p*rn, it’s just not worth it.

Or is it?

Nice romance. Narrators were great.

In my humble opinion, the story was funny, quirky and sweet. It made me laugh so it gets 4 stars just for that, I was enjoying it but I have 2 small critiques:

1. This particular shortish story could have been told from the female perspective only, and we would have had to figure out Cameron's feelings - showcasing more of Emma's style of writing. However, I must add that Brian Pallino was my favourite narrator of the two here, he did all the female voices so well and Cameron so yumm. So a bit of an oxymoron, there I admit.
2. A little soft on the tension between Cameron and Mallory. An office romance that had a feel of normal to it. Everybody was so....nice....to each other. The humour saved this story for me.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
