Excerpt
The guys were going to kill him.
Ollie scrubbed a hand over his face.
They wouldn’t be surprised, of course. But they were going to be pissed.
They’d all known that Piper quitting was a risk and that one day she’d probably wise-up and lose her patience and that would be it.
They’d also all known that when it happened there was a 90 percent chance it would be because of Ollie.
The other 10 percent chance was that it would be because of Ollie and Dax together.
And now it had finally happened.
If it came down to choosing between him and Piper, he wasn’t sure he wanted to know how that debate would end up. Or how short the discussion would be before they decided they wanted and needed her more.
That was only one of the reasons he hadn’t told them yet.
The other was because he was still processing the part where she’d said she loved him.
What was he supposed to do with that?
She wasn’t just supposed to say that out loud right to him, was she? He had not been expecting that. The guys and their girlfriends had insinuated for a while now that Piper might have a crush on him but no, he hadn’t expected her to ever say anything herself.
It was a might have. A crush. Okay, they were adults and maybe adults didn’t have crushes exactly, but everything anyone had said suggested that it was just that Piper thought he was interesting at times and that she didn’t hate spending time with him.
But a crush wasn’t love. For fuck’s sake.
And it had to be Piper?
Piper Barry was amazing. She was gorgeous. She was smart. She was capable. She could do anything. She was funny and sweet and sassy and tough.
She was intimidating as hell.
What was he supposed to do with her now?
What was he supposed to do without her now?
Well, the solution seemed pretty obvious. She’d basically given him the answer herself—I can’t be in love with you and work for you. And the only one of those two things I can change is the working for you part.
So he needed to get her to not be in love with him anymore. Then she’d come back to work and all would be fine.
Now he just had to get her to realize she could do a hell of a lot better than him.
Of course, he’d been a pain in her ass for five years now. If that didn’t do it, he wasn’t sure what would.

MY REVIEW
Piper's in love with one of her bosses, Ollie. He, in turn, is not in love with her. She's felt this way for two years, and he doesn't see her beyond being his assistant and babysitter, and she's done. So she quits. And tells him she loves him, all in one fell swoop. How does he take it? Not so well, actually. So not well that he decides to stick to her like glue so he prove to her she shouldn't be in love with her. Sounds like a plan. NOT. Because why on earth would being in close proximity work to convince someone they shouldn't be in love?!
OK, I have to admit here that Ollie drove me absolutely bonkers for the longest time. He was just so oblivious, in a not very cute or charming way, and I despaired that he'd ever get his head out of his ass. Piper was awesome, a damn saint, though, and I was rooting for her to get her man, idiotic though he was, the whole time. I've been loving this series, and Piper and Ollie fit perfectly in this funny, adorable series about the men who took over Hot Cakes, and the women who bring them to their knees.
