It’s not always easy when things keep getting in the way but the attraction between Elijah and Aubrey is immediate here and I could feel the pages sizzle. Their chemistry is undeniable but what adds to the story is their background and their back and forth and how their story develops. It kept me glued until I was done.

Elijah And Aubrey’s Sweet Story About Hard Work Is Easily Finished In An Evening. Some Parts Don’t Sound Authentic.
This is the first book in The Johnson Brothers series. It is Elijah and Aubrey’s story. It introduces Elijah’s parents and his two brothers, Jace and Liam.
Aubrey Williams, about twenty-four, didn’t plan on staying on at Glamour Girl when she got hired there two years ago. She had worked hard and now was proud of her sales team, their through the roof increase in sales, and her idea that went viral on social media, creating awareness of the young online company. They sold subscription boxes for beauty products and nightgowns, and getting freebies was a perk of the job. When her boss, Shannon, tells her she is being considered for a promotion to CFO, it sounds too good to be true – and it is. Aubrey lacks the qualifications and work history to support the position, but Shannon believes in her and devises an opportunity to prove Aubrey’s worth to the board.
With the launch of new boxes about three months away, if Aubrey can impress the board by raising their profile and creating buzz about the companies they are going to be partnering with, the CFO job is hers. To that end, Shannon assigns her to work directly out of the offices of the new ad agency they are working with. She will collaborate with an ad team out of Spectrum, a very prestigious agency owned by someone in the uber-wealthy Johnson family. The opportunity to put that on her resume is reason enough to be excited about the temporary assignment.
Elijah Johnson, owner of Spectrum, Glamour Girl, and other various start ups, loves his work. Instead of working for his dad’s company, where he could be making billion dollar deals, he chooses to work for himself. Start-ups are exciting and consume him, leaving little time for a personal life. It was a surprise to him and nobody else when he discovered his fiancee had been cheating on him for months. It devastated him six months ago. But a little rebound action quickly turned him around, and he has been refocused ever since. That is, until the woman Shannon sent to work with him walks into his office.
Much to his chagrin, Elijah thinks about Aubrey obsessively. She is naturally beautiful and doesn’t need all the make-up so many women wear to captivate him. Her hard work makes him want her even more. But the fact that she seems to despise him infuriates him.
When Aubrey realizes that the handsome man she snubbed is the man she is assigned to work with for several months, she realizes the tenuous situation she got herself into. She accepts his offer to dinner to clear the air. When Elijah realizes he won’t get past his obsession unless he acts on his desire, he asks Aubrey to dinner. Although he is a perfect gentleman on their date, it doesn’t stop him from making his move.
Elijah and Aubrey’s office romance is light but sweet. They work through misunderstandings and interference as they learn about one another and explore their new relationship, all the while keeping work and their personal lives separate. Aubrey has much to lose if things go badly, though, and she feels terribly insecure and out of her element in Elijah’s world. The couple works their way to a happy ending.
Some parts of the story do not feel authentic, particularly those relating to business. Shannon didn’t sound authentic, and neither did the premise on which Aubrey would prove herself to the board. The reasoning eventually makes a little more sense, but that Aubrey didn’t question it more is still odd. Additionally, after working there two years, it is doubtful she didn’t know Elijah had started and owned Glamour Girl, despite its legal set up. Elijah was proud of his work so it didn’t seem right it would be under wraps.
Elijah and Aubrey’s story is a very quick read, easily finished in an evening. The plot is simple. The characters are decently defined given the length. It is written in third person and the POV alternates between Elijah and Aubrey. I rate this book 3.5 stars.
