Romance Reads Reviewed by K - “It is the perfect book to relax, forget about reality and disappear into another world.”
Goodreads Review - “This is a steamy workplace romance with a sexy boss and lots of sizzle to go with it!”
Katslovesbooks - “OMG!!! This book is fantastic and an amazing start for this brand new series by E.H. Lyon.”
One business trip is all it takes for the unexpected...As co-owner of Ives & Wells, Josh is ready to nail the most important business trip of his career. But does it have to include his business partner’s feisty younger sister Layla escorting him to New Orleans?
As much as they hate each other, it isn’t completely crazy. Technically, she’s an employee and Josh is her boss. But one fight after another leads to an explosion in the bedroom… more than once.
Josh definitely wasn’t planning on nailing more than a good business deal on this trip.
Unfortunately, their plan to leave the antics in the bedroom and out of the office falls apart as soon as they return home. First, because some of their mutual talents can’t be forgotten. Two, because there is a business partner that may kill Josh as soon as he figures out what happened. And three, because some secrets can only be kept for so long, give or take nine months.
The Unexpected Card is a standalone novel from the new Mr. Boss series. This workplace romance is filled with banter, a swoony boss, and surprises along the way.
E.H. Lyon hates folding laundry and decided one day to avoid it by writing witty and a little steamy stories. Her stories take you on a light and bantering ride until the very end, when your couple finds their happily ever after. Along the way, there may be the occasional emotional twist thrown in and the essential appearance of a bottle of whiskey. E.H. has a thing for witty women, determined well-dressed men who fall in love, and the steamy scenes that bring them together.
An American from the Midwest, she now lives in Northern Europe with her small pack of humans. She believes the essence of balance is sitting on a yoga mat listening to music whilst eating a donut. And she absolutely loves finding a new book boyfriend to swoon-over, hearing from other authors, and connecting with people who read her books.
HOSTED BY:
In this story we meet Josh and Noah who own an advertiser agency in Chicago. Layla is Noah's baby sister and is very talented in graphics and she is a consultant for their company for occassional clients. One is one of their new clients, Trey Radnor, who is opening a new hotel in New Orleans and requests her especially and so thats how Josh and Layla who have a hate filled/attraction type of relationship end up on a trip in New Orleans.
What happens in NOLA stays there? well not always sometimes true love, attraction and life gets in the way and what a way to go. I really enjoyed this story. Josh and Layla have a very complicated story and I really enjoyed that about the story. The feelings they have for each other is complicated and the same goes with their after NOLA relationship.
The author did a wonderful job with Layla and Josh and I absolutely adored this love story even if its a bit of a forbidden story. I also loved the title of the book as the Unexpected Card had a very deep meaning in this story and I loved how the characters revisited that and made it a part of their story.
This story is lightly connected to the authors Matchbox series, as Josh is Harper's brother. Harper is in the second book, Crazy For You.
