Über diesen Titel
One career-driven American ready to climb the career ladder. A reserved British billionaire with no desire for romantic entanglements. But when this assistant and boss are brought together by fate, will falling in love be the only option?
Mary-Kate Grant has followed every rule to the letter to pursue her dream of working in TV. Ripping a page from the "hard work pays off" playbook, she takes an assistant level job at a Chicago sports network to break into the industry.
MK is completely focused on one thing: her career. Love? A hindrance.
But MK's plans are run through the shredder when she finds herself working for William Cumberland, a British media mogul who made his fortune with Connectivity, a social media site. William blows into Chicago like the winds off Lake Michigan and purchases the group of networks MK works for - and makes her his personal assistant in the process. MK hates her new boss and wishes he'd go straight back across the pond.
Or so she thinks.
She finds herself not only rethinking what she wants for her career but for her personal life as well. Can a romance be the best move she has ever made? Or will MK end up wishing she never risked her heart in the first place?
©2019 Aven Ellis (P)2021 TantorThe FMC can afford super cutesy designer cloth from an uninspired assistant job, blames others for her clumsiness and is portrayed as this career driven woman despite not having a career or actually going for it. She does not know what to do with her life, until a man steps into it. He makes her realize her potential, gives her opportunities, she could easily taken herself and only opens up/ is seen by her. All the while doing everything sexily and/or aggressively, like mistreating employees, being unprofessional and fostering the FMC petty revenge fantasies. The relatable side of the FMC? She snort laughs and walks into things. This book wants to be feminist so badly but only succeeds in making women look bad for being concerned about a total attitude change in their friend, wanting to marry as a live goal, liking the same guy as she (but having the audacity of not being picked by the MMC and therefore being portrayed more over the top evil than Cruela DeVil). As a woman who chose not to have a family, I thought I could relate to this FMC until I realized she was just a Pick Me girl with an attitude, some sessions with a therapist could fix. And the MMC? He of course likes her because she is SO different, like, she says no. The narrator is reading the sh*t out of this book, but sadly it does not make it any better. The moral of the story still is: being a woman is inherently evil, unless you get picked by the hot rich guy.
Tries to be feminist, is misogynistic
