I’m a sucker for alpha bosses and office heat. This one delivered on all points.
ARC of The Executive Floor received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
My first read by Belinda Wright & I really liked this author’s writing style
I was immediately drawn to the cover & brief synopsis!! Looked like it would be my kind of read & it certainly was
Great book – it checked a # of my personal “boxes” for a really good office romance :
Billionaire/ Corporate setting
Age difference between characters
Smart – sexy heroine
Self made millionaire/ bachelor / playboy
Sexy chemistry
A bit of angst
HEA
Granger is definitely a bit jaded bachelor- a self described workaholic who doesn’t even realize his latest girlfriend has moved into his place until she decides to move out – leaving him with her dog she no longer wants to care for …
Chantele is an intern working as an analyst at Granger Finance – with her contract ending & no job in site she needs to make a decision about “what’s next” … it certainly wasn’t a chance meeting with Granger.
This is a fairly quick read & the relationship developes quickly also between the two ! Loved these two characters together!
Great read – loved it !!

THE EXECUTIVE FLOOR is a quick read; an engaging, entertaining but predictable story line of forbidden romance between the boss and employee. The drama and conflict is limited but spread throughout the story line premise. The romance needed a little more excitement in order for the reader to feel any real palpable sexual attraction.
