A light, goofy romance with a little surprising depth sprinkled in. Rule-following Jada breaks character and mocks the new boss after suffering through his pompous conference call. But she wasn’t on mute, and the new boss, Jaxon, heard all of its mocking glory. Jaxon just took over the company after the death of his abusive billionaire parents, and decides to go undercover at the office to route out the “butt-dialer” and make them pay. What ”Jack” finds is a a close-knit family who won’t give Jada up, and he starts to thaw under their supportive environment. He initially just wants to ferret out the voice on the phone, but he gets invested in the office, including Keith, a dumpster cactus the office is trying to nurture back to life. Get it - he’s kind of like the cactus. Jada is all optimism and kindness, and Jack has no idea how to deal with this new supportive family. Jada is very likable, and Jack’s growth is almost touching for a softy like me. (8)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
