“Are we going to talk about some business today, or are you going to continue mumbling to yourself?” “Um, Preston?” George waved his hand in front of my face. I was pretty certain I knew her better than anyone else, too. I spent more time with her than with the women I used to date, and I could honestly say that she knew me better than anyone else. I hadn’t fucked another woman since we met because no other woman compared.
Great narration.I also refused to believe that she couldn’t see how much I’d given up for her. TLDR: The main dude is an egotistical butthead, the heroine could have done so much better, and a lot of this was unrealistic. I wanted to know more about Tara's successes after quitting. Also, having a cute 3 year old talk a cutesy to a grown asshole does not make said asshole anymore likeable. **SPOILER ALERT** Furthermore, the fine print stuff is far from legal and also the randomly dropping an orphaned child on a random person she has never met is also not correct (take it from a social worker). Preston deliberately held Tara back from potentially amazing opportunities and was a genuine non-swoon worthy asshole. He is not book boyfriend worthy, and he is pure garbage and I hope you ladies (and gents) know you can do so much better for yourself (bookwise and in real life). So, my problem? I honestly did not like Mr Preston Parker. Now, I'm not saying I regret my decision either, because the narration was phenomenal and the writing was also great. I honestly thought I'd absolutely love this, I even waited until I had a credit saved up to purchase it.
This is a standalone contemporary romance. Then again, I thought that was the case until he called me late last night with an emergency proposition. And now I've realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I'm stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. That's the version of my two weeks' notice I should've sent to my boss, because the more professional version - the one where I said I was "grateful for all the opportunities", and "honored by all the rewarding experiences" over the years? That letter was rejected with his sexy, trademark smirk and an "I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract." I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she'll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it goddamn self. This was a very easy decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (and the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today.
