Rumors, Episode 1 by Rachael BrownellMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Rumors” by Rachel Brownell is book 1 in a new series which is exciting and fresh. Emerson is out of college after graduating and starting a new job. She starts a job at a different company from her boyfriend’s and finds out that this company she is working for is a competitor marketing firm. This causes serious trouble in her relationship. She sees how her boyfriend is very controlling and nasty to her when she wouldn’t do things he asked, like quit her job. She ends up having to break up with him and make changes in her life in order to be happy. This is in order to take a chance on herself, to prove her worth and if that meant breaking up with her boyfriend, so be it. What Emerson didn’t expect to happen was falling for her hot and sexy boss, Ryder Dixon.
Ryder Dixon is going thru a mess in his personal life. He is going thru a divorce. It is one messy divorce and it is affecting every aspect of his life. Then into his life comes a breath of freshness in the form of his new assistant, Emerson. Emerson is bright, energetic, sweet, outgoing , beautiful and caring. Thing is, Ryder is going thru this bitter divorce and he cant afford to start anything with Emerson because someone will end up getting hurt so he distances himself.
Suddenly rumors are popping up about the two of them. Rumors that aren’t true but hey, that’s what happens when you work in an office full of people, there are some that thrive on spreading gossip. Those rumors regarding Ryder and Emerson spread and spread and pick up speed like wildfire. No one but Emerson seem worried if those rumors are true. It takes Emerson’s best friend to remind her that the best way to stop a rumor is to make it true. Will Emerson take the bulls by the horns and let her boss know she is in love with him and wants to see if they can make the rumors reality ? Or will she sit back and let the rumors spin out of control without doing anything about it?
I loved this forbidden office romance story. It had all the angst, heat, tension, passion, witty humor and tenderness that I love in my romance stories. I loved the secondary characters that popped up in this story. The story between Emerson and Ryder seems HFN, not HEA so I hope there will be another book featuring them. It looks like the next book in this series is Justine and Devon ( they are Emerson and Ryder’s friends) . I can’t wait to read this story and read more by Ms. Brownell.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
