She shows him that it was okay to laugh and love again. But Sophie brightens up his drab world and slowly he starts to smile and laugh more. Gray’s past in the romance department has turned him into the serious, stoic type. This book features a blend of a couple great romantic tropes: opposites attract and workplace romance. The only two not so happy about it is Sophie and Gray. As the new CEO of a hotel company, Gray is down a secretary and the whole Dalton family is elated when he offers Sophie a job. After Gray’s misassumption, she quit her job as a cocktail waitress, hoping to turn over a new leaf and find her passion. Her sister outs her to everyone as unemployed. Elevator! No joke! I was smiling throughout this whole scene because she was totally giving him the eye like, “Please don’t tell my parents I was dressed like a prostitute” and Gray was like, “Please don’t tell your sister you know me already.” Though Sophie’s embarrassment doesn’t end there. Imagine Sophie’s surprise when, at the next Sunday dinner with her parents, the man her sister brings home is Mr. Being used as a pin cushion for a wildly attractive woman in an elevator isn’t how Gray thought this business trip would go. She looks more like Julie Robert á la Pretty Woman than the twenty-something cocktail waitress that she is. Sophie is on her way to her best friend’s bachelorette party dressed to the nines in her festive trashy-themed get-up. Gray mistakenly assumes that she’s an escort, deflating all the sexual tension in Sophie’s eyes. Sophie and Gray meet in an elevator, but it’s not exactly a steamy passion-filled encounter you might expect. There is no “screw the paperwork” moment followed by a passionate kiss. How Sophie and Gray met was hinted at in book two, Made for You (and in the synopsis), so I was super pumped to see how unstructured Sophie wins Mr. I mean, we know the couples get their HEA. I read this 2-book series out of order, which you can do without too much of a problem with spoilers.
