Once Upon a Date is a steamy workplace romance. The one night stand that got away turns up the next day. Fighting list and egos takes up almost as much time as their day jobs.
It’s naughty fun. Once Upon a Dare was a great way to immerse myself in a workplace romance with out the drama of real life. So kick off the offending heels, put your feet up, and cut loose with a Dare…
Well this is all kinds of hot and steamy. Olivia and Cole were oozing sexual tension and chemistry all over the place. It certainly wasn’t a horrible way to spend an afternoon reading about these two love birds. Yeah, there’s some good stuff in here. I enjoyed it!
I did enjoy the story it kept me entertained one afternoon. So we meet the Ice Queen, Olivia as she is known in the office. She is an Ice Queen because she is focus on moving up in her job and doesn’t really take crap. On a night out of town her friend dares her to get a hot night and she found her victim and had said hot night, thinking she will never see him. Unfortunately, for her she meets him again at her job and Cole gets the promotion she wanted..Now what to do, ignore him or keep doing what she really want to do even thought she wont admit..
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) My voluntary thoughts and opinion are my own.
What do you do after you find out that the one night stand who gave you the hottest night of your life takes your promotion. Then you are tasked to work with him and he is now your boss?
Olivia is a very hard worker and deserves the promotion. The weekend before the reveal her friend takes her out and dares her to let her hair down for one night and go home with a man of her choosing. Olivia finally decides that she deserves one might of wildness and she promptly leaves in the morning.
I felt so bad for Cole in this book. It just felt like every step he makes was the wrong one, especially when he isn’t trying to be the bad guy. He is a man who knows what he wants and sometimes doesn’t always look at the whole picture before he moves forward with his task.
These two were really fun to read about. Even when they were fighting, there was still passion and chemistry.
Olivia is in advertising and the night before she’s supposed to find out if she’s made partner, she goes out with her friend Chloe. Olivia is known as the Ice Queen, all work and no play, so when Olivia dares her to have a one night stand with a stranger, she goes for it. Cole is back in New York after working in London for years. He is starting a new job and is out having a couple of drinks. Olivia comes up and starts flirting and then when she asks “ your place or mine?” he’s ready and raring to go.
When Olivia gets to the office the next day and goes for her meeting with her boss, she’s shocked to see Cole there. And then to find out he got the job she thought was hers. She is furious and hurt too. When Cole and Olivia work on a project together, they can’t keep their hands off each other. But then Cole totally screws up and might lose the woman he has ever loved if he doesn’t find a way to get her to forgive him.
First time reading this author and I must say it hopefully won’t be my last. You have a sexy, rich, smart guy who messes up just like most men do. A beautiful, former beauty pageant contestant, smart and only wants to climb the ladder without help from anyone. Sexy, funny, a tough woman who’s not afraid to stand up for herself. I really enjoyed this story and hope all who reads it will too.
