Never fall for a charming Prince...
Harry-freaking-Prince. He’s my arrogant, demanding, sexy-as-sin boss. A six-foot giant who micromanages his lattes.If he asks me to redo his coffee one more time, I’ll throw it in his face.
Prince is a pain in my you-know-what—but that’s wishful thinking. There’s no way he’s into me, except he won’t let me out of his sight. Before long, Prince makes his intentions clear with a kiss.
He wants to blur the lines between work and play, but it has to stay a secret.
In exchange for my silence, I’ll get a new apartment, a rack full of designer suits, date nights at swanky restaurants, anything I want. Anything except for what I need. A real relationship with him.
I promised him I would keep it quiet. I promised myself I wouldn’t fall in love.

Well, I'll not sugar coating my review just because I got the privileged reading the ARC given by the author for the exchange of honest and unbiased reviews.
So, I'll be straight forward with my review.
I have this huge expectations that it gonna be such a sweet 'Pretty Woman-Cinderella' like story, but turned out it's not!
The premise of the story at the very beginning was really good and intriguing. But as I dig the story more deeper I found that it's not like what I expected.
The lack of emotional connections between the two MC's still continue until nearly end of the book. There's no specific nor further explanation about Harry 'behavior' except constants lust, alpha dominating and blurred PTSD.
Speaking about the chemistry...
Chemistry between the characters supposed to be feel, not to tell.
And in this case...I didn't feel it...

It turned me complete down at 49% reading when Harry suddenly 'punished' Ash by spanking him in the office trailer that caught me off guard because I didn't expected any BDSM things even if it's just light one.
The conflicts a bit blurred and out of focus when it came into Harry's ex-work partner/lover, Rex. And how they solved it make me can't stand not to rolls my eyes.
It hard for me to say whether I like or dislike the book. I wish I could say that the book was 'that' good, but I can't. I wish I could say that the book was not 'that' good, but again I just can't. Because I must admit that honestly there's some part that I do really like about what happens in the story, but I just can't denied that there's also some part that I feel it didn't work for me.
Last but not least, I think the blurb kinda 'misleading' a bit, and that's why I felt kind disappointed.
