Book Review

Firmly situated in the land of fairy tales and fantasies come true, this is the story of young Jus, a personal assistant, and his boss Maxim, the new VP of scouting in a small fashion company. If ever there was hot office romance (ethics not being looked at too deeply), this is a great example. It contains international travel in a private yet, sultry nights in an Italian vineyard, and enough personal drama and misunderstandings to fill a novel. All squeezed into a very sweet short story that reads like a modern-day office-based Cinderfella story.

Jus is one of those men whose lives just don’t seem to want to be simple, or be easy to deal with. He is a hard worker, has degrees in business and fashion design, but nobody seems to want to hire him other than, finally, as a personal assistant. Read: glorified gofer. His bosses keep being sacked, and when the newest incarnation of his superior, the godlike and totally impeccable Maxim, catches him with a stained shirt, caused by a malfunctioning copier, Jus is sure his life will never get any better. And he is right, it will get worse before he finally finds his happy ending.  

Maxim is mysterious, a demanding boss, and the master of the “hot and cold treatment”. He knows exactly what he wants and is a total workaholic to boot. I must admit, I have met knights in shining armor who were far nicer than this one – then again, he does redeem himself in spades by the end of the story, so that is a definite point in his favor. I actually quite liked that he wasn’t totally perfect.

If you like modern-day fairy tales and feel like reading an office romance, if you’re looking for heat in an exotic setting, and if you want a read that is entertaining and has some emotional drama, then you will probably like this short story.
