Sometimes it’s had to straddle the line between right and wrong or proper and just a little bit risky but Avery and Ellis’s story develops around one of those imaginary lines. This is a really interesting story with awesome characters and just a touch of humor thrown in to make it fly by quickly. I really enjoyed this book.

This starts out with Avery who’s the be all publicist in LA involved in a scandal and losing her clients left and right. She’s having a drink and feeling sorry for herself when her twin sister calls from London. Her sis talks her into coming over to see her and her bro in law. It just so happens that David the bil has a friend/coworker who has been accused of sexual harassment and they want Avery to take Ellis on as a client. Sparks fly as they meet. Both are sarcastic and not really sure they want to do this but Avery really needs this to get back on her feet.
This begins the slow burn and sexual tension between them. They know they can’t act on this and so the story goes on. Ellis is a very private person and doesn’t like that he’s the one the media is focused on but Avery is good at what she does, just trust me she tells him.
I liked the story line I just thought it dragged on a bit longer than needed.
Mind the Line by Jennifer Domenico is a standalone contemporary romance that is scorching hot and very much an “office” romance. Starting with a scandal, the two characters, Avery and Ellis, end up working together to put out the flames of their reputations only to start more fires in the bedroom. Well-written and well-paced this is my first book by this author but I will definitely be reading more form her in the future. The chemistry between her characters in this book, the crafted plot, the line (no-pun intended) between too real and too fake for fictional characters is balanced well. Enjoy!
I’m not even going to lie – I was interested in this book because it sounded like the tv show Scandal. I am so glad I read this one! I am new to Jennifer Domenico, but I was so impressed with this book! The story flowed, the scandal was great and the characters were EPIC! LOVED!!!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Jen you did it again!!! I loved Ellis and Avery’s story! The fact that they found each other in such a different way. The whole premise is ew and refreshing.
I found this story entertaining and enjoyable. It starts with a scandal. There’s scandal throughout the book. Yet it was a believable story. Two people, never expecting to find “the one” begin a working relationship, but are unable to mind the line and ultimately cross the line into a personal relationship.
I have to agree with Avery that the British accent is hot, hawt, haute. I loved their trip to Paris. Having been previously, I enjoyed revisiting the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles. Plus let’s not forget the English and French meals we read about.
I found the best parts of this book were seeing how strong Avery is. She is not a wilting flower and she knows when and how to make a point. I loved her little bit of snark, but with moments of genuine love, like and respect. Finally, I found Ellis a breath of fresh air. He let Avery take the lead even though it was not in his nature. He knew when to let her handle things and he let her shine.
This is only the second book by this author that I have read, but I would love to see more from her.
Jennifer is meant to share her stories with the world and she proves it once again as Ellis and Avery are my new favorite couple. They exude sex appeal and I loved the heat and tension as they tried to keep their feelings at bay due to their business arrangement. Their witty banter made me smile and laugh out loud. I could not get enough of these two. They give a whole new meaning to the term “power couple.”
Ellis has a smokin hot accent that I love and I would totally be his girl for life! He gives me goosebumps as soon as he commands the room. Holy cow, the sex scenes between these two could start my kindle on fire. The secondary characters just added more joy and spice to the story, so we got an added bonus.
Jennifer has become a one click author for me. This story will pull you in, and you won’t stop reading until the last page has been read. This book is swoon worthy, enticing and full of heat! I don’t know how they managed to mind the line for as long as they did because these two had off the charts chemistry, and I didn’t want this book to end!
Mind the Line is the latest contemporary romance from Jennifer Domenico. And let me tell you that this is one book you will want to read. The relationship between Ellis and Avery starts as a working relationship and there is so much push and pull between them that you just feel the tension and angst of not moving forward. I loved how strong Avery’s character was, so much sass and spunk in a woman that has had a difficult time, and she knows how to put Ellis in his place. Their banter and relationship was wonderful read and watch grow from beginning to end
5 stars! Loved it!
I loved Ellis and Avery’s story. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. It’s an easy, scorching slow-burn read. There’s no angst, just a bit of conflict because these characters are attracted to each other, but can’t act on it.
“I become impetuous when she’s near, forgetting all my own rules. I do not have personal relationships with colleagues. No exceptions.”
I was so smitten with Ellis; he’s the perfect book boyfriend! The sexual tension and sex scenes were hot too. I loved the buildup, the witty banter, the characters and everything! I highlighted tons of quotes too! I had a smile the entire time while reading it.
Jennifer Domenico pours her heart and soul into these wonderful stories that I cannot get enough of. This is why she remains one of my favorite authors. Can’t wait to read her next book!
Mind the Line by Jennifer Domenico is the story of Avery and Ellis.
Avery was a very successful PR person who is a Ms. Fixer but when a not so friend shows her true colors her reputation has dropped. Drowning in her sorrows she gets a call from her sister who talks her into coming to England to be with her and her husband. Avery then learns that they could use her help with Ellis when he is accused of something he didn’t do. Avery sees this as her chance to help redeem herself along with helping Ellis but the sparks are going off between the two.
This is my first book by this author, but I hope to read more from her in the future.
If you love a good slow burn romance, then Mind The Line is for you. Ellis and Avery are both knee deep in their own scandals. Despite what they originally think, they need each other more than they know. What they also need is for their working relationship to work. Key word is WORKING. But their attraction is undeniable which makes simply working together and not crossing the line into something more a herculean task. Mind the Line was an enjoyable read with just the right combo of heat, angst and heart.
A captivating and entertaining contemporary romance
The author very kindly sent me a very early version of this book so that I could double check her ‘British’ factor.
This is one full of feels read, quite a slow burn yet it still felt incredibly steamy with all the sexual tension between Ellis and Avery. All the characters are amazing, so believable, I’d love to read David and Annabel’s story, and maybe see a bit more Willis too! This author really knows how to write a really good story, with an unusual plot, good world building and a very rounded, believable characters.
Mind the Line is a boss-employee contemporary romance with lots of feels and a wonderful hero and heroine. Since I’m a huge fan of the author I know that I will enjoy just about any book with her name on. Workplace ‘taboo’ romances are usually fun too and it had the added benefit of being mainly set in the UK, so this was a definite must read for me!
Previous experience of this author had me expecting a book where the characters are really well developed and draw you into the story. I wasn’t disappointed, in fact not only would I love to meet Ellis and Avery in real life, I want to know David, Annabel and Willis too.
Avery is a PR Miss Fixit, very successful and in demand, until a lying diva shows just how fickle friends are in LA. Ellis is a very private business man, dogged by the false accusations of a disgruntled former employee. Avery’s sister and brother-in-law introduce them, hoping they can work together and be the answer the other one needs. Trouble is they are hugely attracted to each other too, but need to keep things on a purely professional footing. Can they fight their chemistry and, if not, what will the consequences be?
Avery is such a focused and very professional woman who is strong enough to stand up to Ellis when necessary. I really liked her and found her to be believable too. As a Brit I was very impressed with how well the author did at making both Ellis and David feel English. I loved the little words and phrases that she threw in, almost unnoticeable to me, that definitely gave it a British feel.
The pace of the book was good, the story really held my attention and, despite being a slow burn, it had a very steamy feel to it with lots of sexual tension between Ellis and Avery. In fact this is a book that is full of feels, both between the main characters but also with their family and friends.
It just felt nicely different to so many bland and generic contemporary romances. This is one heck of a read that I am more than happy to recommend to family, friends and anyone looking for a well written and entertaining story.
I love this book!! Avery gets fired and gets a job to help Ellis with his public relations. Ellis is so steamy hot and Avery doesn’t want anything to happen between them because of her job with him. But, they finally give in and start to have felling for each other but she has to finish the job to help Ellis before giving in to Ellis. You will read this book until the end because you will want to know what happens next. Jennifer Domenico wrote another amazing book and you will not be disappointed reading it!!!
