All I have to do is catch a plane, move to Sag Harbor and start my new job as editor of a brand new society magazine. That’s what I’ve promised myself. New life, new me. No more Mr. Wrong.
So when I meet a handsome gentleman on the plane, after a couple of drinks, I’m going to walk away, right? I’m certainly not going to try and join the mile-high club with him.
If it turns out he’s my boss and the youngest son of one of the biggest media moguls in America it doesn’t matter, he won’t remember me in the morning, anyway.
I’m just going to do my job. No serenading him. No succumbing to his sweet charms and absolutely no falling in love with him.
And, well, if he happens to fall in love with me, I’m just going to say no, right?

Caitlyn is moving halfway across the world to Sag Harbor, NY to take a new job at a brand new society magazine. Her boss, Hank, is the playboy youngest son of an incredibly wealthy family that needs his magazine to take off so he isn’t ostracized from his family. He’s her boss, he shouldn’t be thinking about how much he wants his hands on her. She’s looking to prove her worth at her dream job and can’t risk a misstep. How could these two possibly have a happily ever after together?
Katherine came to my attention through social media, and I was intrigued by the blurb of her book. I’m always a sucker for an office romance, especially when both characters know they shouldn’t get involved but do so any way. Katherine sets this trope against the high society of the elite and wealthy in Sag Harbor, which makes any bad press that much more of a risk. There were some genuinely funny and laugh out loud moments in this book, including the incredible meet cute between these two. I can’t spoil it, but it was definitely one of the most memorable meet cutes I’ve read this year.
Hank’s family was nearly intolerable, and I struggled to care about any of them or their business, they were constantly acting spoiled and stuck up, which was very annoying. His father’s controlling nature was awful and it made sense why Hank wanted no part in their empire. I liked that Hank was a bit of a rebel in his family, but I also didn’t like that he seemed to be a bit selfish too. I get he was trying to improve himself but his plan to fake a magazine to get to do what he really wants seemed kind of far-fetched. I also didn’t like that it meant he expected Caitlyn to constantly be covering for him.
I enjoyed the scenes with Hank and Caitlyn together, just being together and falling in love. It was every time they were around the side characters that I got frustrated. I think some of that is on me because I found I just didn’t care about the ins and outs of the wealthy in the small village. If we’d spent less time with the spoiled rich kids it would have been a much more enjoyable read for me.
Overall I liked the couple, and was rooting for them since the start. I’m glad that Hank and Caitlyn got their HEA, even if it meant reading about some bratty rich kids (adults actually). There were some cute scenes and laugh out loud moments that made for a fun and light read.
