I was really looking forward to this one as I loved what I had seen of JD and Ben in the previous books. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. 

It had great potential and the storyline was good in parts but I feel like the author wrote herself into a corner at times especially with JD recognizing that he was Ben's boss and shouldn't do anything with him. The way that was resolved did work but getting there was hard work. He spent so much time internally talking about how it shouldn't happen and then shouldn't happen again etc., it dragged the story down. 

I also didn't like the parts with Ben's husband and how everyone reacted to the news. His mother's reaction was just silly and I don't care that she was processing everything and would get over it, if my mother told me she wanted me to go back to an abusive partner instead of the new partner because he was older and my boss, I'd never speak to her again.

I did love the side characters. Gloria was a treat and kept the story moving and entertaining when it could have got bogged down.

It was an easy read and not bad story wise, I was just expecting something more and weas a little disappointed.
