I absolutely loved this, it is my favourite trope boss/employee, and this was so well written. August has lots of layers, but he doesn't let people see them. He is commanding in full control and uses this control to protect himself, never allowing people to get close. He has such a fortress keeping people out that he also struggles to let people in. He has a playful side and can't resist using his sexy smirk to get what he wants. And he wants his new boss, Caleb. Caleb has been hurt but is ready to move on and when he meets beautiful brown eyes across the boardroom he knows he is in for. This isn't an easy relationship and takes time before August will admit he wants and needs more.  This is one hot steamy book, with lots of intimate scenes along with some mild bdsm. However, just as everything is going so well there is a bump in the story and it's full on devastation and heartbreak for everyone. Caleb is such a special person, he is so patient and understanding even when August has pushed him so far. The epilogue jumps give a happy ending on top of more happy endings and as a romance reader I was left content and glowing with happiness for this special couple. Hard to believe this is a debut novel, I can't wait for more from this author.
