Sam has a secret he holds close to his heart… termination.
Sam Davidson has pined for Joy since the first time he saw her sweet smile and stunning eyes. But there’s a secret that the shy IT developer holds deep inside: Sam is still a virgin. At twenty-nine, he never intended it to happen, but accepts that he could never please Joy in all the ways she deserves.
Sam can offer her a job, though, and proceeds to help Joy rebuild her life after the unfair firing. As their work relationship grows, Joy is taken with Sam’s kindness, gorgeous crystal-hazel eyes and generous smile. And his hands…oh, his firm, broad hands…
Joy can’t figure out why Sam resists the desire that sparks so vividly between them, but Valentine’s Day is coming and she’s determined to seduce him and make them both burn. Even if it means discovering all his secrets…
Inexperienced hero trope lovers unite! This is a fun, fast-paced, steamy novella from an author who wanted to flip the script and write about a sweet, sexy, inexperienced male main character.

Oh my gosh I LOVE Joy and Sam’s story so much! This author brings the heat, as in spicy scenes! But she makes you work for it with her slow burnnnnn! Totally worth the wait, though! This was such a sweet story with an ‘untouched’ MMC and I am here for it! Love this series and this author!
Joy is working on a campaign at work. She needed to get her report in 5 minutes ago. Her computer froze. Sam works in the IT department and he came up to help her fix it. He’s always had a crush on her. He would do anything to make her smile. Now what do they do?
Drake is a terrible man. No one should do that to their employees. I’m so glad Joy has Kayla and Laura for friends. The flowers are cute. I love how shy Sam is. She’s so stubborn and very direct. I love how he trusted her with his secret. It’s so sad what’s going on with Kayla’s mom. Will, Frank and Jamaal were not right in telling Sam what they told him during the poker game. The clothing event was a disaster. Those three girls are quite close. The ending was so beautiful I cried! I will recommend this to EVERYONE!
Kai Kenncott and Wen Ross have amazing voices! Try listening to the audiobook if you can.
I love this series because in addition to the wonderful characters and delicious romance, there’s always a juicy hook that grabs me from page one. Joy works hard at her job as a personal assistant. When her boss hits on her and she politely turns him down, he reacts by inventing bogus reasons to get her fired. Reader, my blood boiled in some of those scenes! Sam the IT guy was such a sweetheart. I loved the sweet and awkward scenes between him and Joy as they worked to navigate both forming a business together… and something more. This romance was the perfect mix of sweet and steamy. And I enjoyed the way the resolution worked out with Joy’s HR issues.
