Cass Sellars

When I was looking at the latest offerings from BSB available for review, I noted that most of the covers had some variation of white, trim women gracing them. I'm not a fan of actual people on covers, particularly when I can see that it's going to be another book featuring white women. So I went for Finding Sky first. Not saying I didn't nab others but this is the one I decided on first. Also, this book features romantic relationships between white women...

Okay, on to the story! Being a workplace romance, I expected that once things got rolling, there would be only a quick mention of what a bad idea it is to sleep with the boss. How pleased was I when it was brought up several times and with good examples of why it's a bad idea? Very! I liked Jess and didn't think she'd be an asshole if a relationship didn't work out but still. It felt more believable that Skylar was seriously concerned about her future. I liked her more for that.

This book wasn't just about love and figuring out how to have a relationship with the owner of the company. There's a little mystery happening, too. I say little because it was glaringly obvious who was doing the bad thing. I will admit, though, that there's a twist in there that I didn't see coming and laughed out loud at the reveal because I had been gotten. Good job on the author!

This is my first book by Cass Sellars but I would absolutely read another.

Oh, so you're probably wondering why I only gave this three stars if I had a pretty good time reading it. Well, I would rate this one 3.5 and I normally would have rounded up to a 4 except for the POV switching back and forth several times within a scene. It's one of the things that will yank me out of a story and I dislike it strongly. How can I connect with a POV character and totally live in their head to experience what they're living through if I'm pulled out and dropped into someone else's thoughts and feelings? I can't. Others can, and that's great for them, but I can't. So that's why I decided on going a solid 3 stars.

A big thanks to Netgalley and BSB for the opportunity to read a new-to-me author!… (mais)

Jess is the CEO of Ivan Associates, the Real Estate Company her father started.

Skylar is the new finance/accounting person at IA. And she has a ton to clean up after what the previous woman, Pam, did to the company's finances. Skylar also has quite the backstory that we do eventually get to learn as the book goes on.

And, of course, the two women get closer and closer as the book progresses. Made harder by the fact that they are boss and employee.

And then Skylar figures out that someone is stealing from IA and she and Jess have to not only figure out how to repair their relationship, but, also figure out who has betrayed Jess' family.

It was a fun read. I don't always love the boss/employee stories, ut, this one really worked and the characters were all very unique which made it even more enjoyable.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books.… (mais)
