Flat broke and down on her luck, Emerson Hastings is handed the perfect opportunity. Executive assistant to the head of Creative Marketing at Dixon Advertising. It’s a chance to prove herself, move up with the company, and land her dream job in media advertising. What Emerson doesn’t know is that her boss should come with a warning label. He’s hotheaded, demanding, and sexy as sin.
When long days turn into late nights with her boss, rumors about Emerson and Ryder begin to spread. By the time they circle back to her, they’re difficult to ignore, making her attraction to her boss hard to deny. Everyone has an opinion and no one cares if the rumors are true. No one except Emerson.

“Stop fidgeting,” Angela says, shutting off the engine. “It’s not like he’s going to whisk you away to his bedroom and have his way with you. Well, unless you ask nicely.”
“Stop it,” I scold as Ryder’s front door opens and my sexy boss appears, sans shirt, his shorts riding low on his hips. “Fuck me,” I whisper.
“All you have to do is ask,” Angela teases as she opens her door, moving swiftly before I have a chance to smack her.
Following her lead, I begin gathering bags from the trunk. When I turn to follow Angela, I find my path blocked.
“How’s your head?” Ryder asks, taking the bags from my hand.
“What?”
“Your headache?”
“Oh, yeah. Slept it off. I’m good.” I’m fumbling over every word as I stare at Ryder's bare chest.
I’ve seen him without a shirt on before, and yes, I enjoyed the view then, but this is different. We’re not at the office. No one is around except Angela and she seems to have disappeared. This feels dangerous and dirty, and all I want is to reach out and trace the lines of his peck and maybe his abs. Or the top of his waistband.
*****MY REVIEW *****
“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 ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
