Blurb
There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it
cuts right through the middle of their office.
Bad boys? They run
right over good girls like Georgina Keller.
But after a
confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new
workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad
boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.
Sebastian Quinn's
taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to
the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is
suddenly threatening to end his career.
Georgina can
help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do
that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or
inconvenient attraction will distract her.
Because if Sebastian
gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

Excerpt
At the stadium’s
concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level
since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?”
She gasped
into her hand. “My breath is fine.”
“I meant
his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.”
She made a
face. “Gross.”
“I happen
to love relish,” I said. “But does François?”
Each time I
said François with flourish, she
flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my
finger on it.
“We didn’t
kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out.
“So? If I
were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop
me.”
“Frank and I are clicking,” she said,
scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.”
“Hamptons?”
She coughed
into her fist. “Boca Raton.”
The idea of
Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I
almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great,
why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug
about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.”
“You two
should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.”
“But then I
wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.”
“For
someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t
seen you successfully flirt with any
girls since I’ve known you.”
I smirked.
“How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”

It's a Coming Back Home Story of a man who's uprooted from his hometown, loses touch with his family, his heritage and his values. In order to fit in, he paints a caricature of himself, way bigger and more colourful than his reality and then he tries to fill it with borrowed props, hangs out with the hipster crowd. He wears a cloak of flamboyance and audacity to appear larger than life. But it's an empty shell.
From Quintanilla to Quinn, Boston kid to city playboy, I’d been trying to keep those parts of myself separate. To slip those identities on and off. But I was still that punk who’d hustled to become the man I was now. I was both. Without Mom to put me back in my place when I needed it, I was clinging to this, an empty shell of a house.
He's Sebastian Quinn-Creative Director at-large of Modern Man magazine in Dixon Press and a columnist at BadVice . With his group of bad boys who basically create raucous havoc in the mag world by objectifying women and inflating male egos. But Karma comes to bite in the ass with an Exposè and an emergency Crisis Manager is called- George(ina) Keller, what she doesnt know is that she's literally stepping in a den of lions and they're pretty much set in their ways. He's the captain of the ship which is sinking under his feet. When the compass breaks Georgina sets the ship right.
“You’re more or less here to babysit us.”
“Don’t be babies, and I won’t have to,”
Sebastian has potent charm and sexist entendres in his arsenal, he picks and books women with ease, so looks like George has her work cut out for her. She tries to clear the layers of silt to dig out the real Sebastian buried within. The story is classified under Enemies-To-Lovers trope, but I think its much deeper and wider in canvas than a simple box its put in.
There's two people battling public perception. Both have been burned badly and have mastered the art of dividing their psyche into two seperate compartments. it’s like you feel guilty taking up space. I don’t get how you can be so fierce at work and the opposite in your personal life.”
Both have lost them selves and it's up to each other to help unearth the simple human beings that they are. Jessica has made the characters very real. They're plagued by self doubts, and instead of facing them, they puff up their images to hide behind it. A one-up-manship follows with some supremely sharp and smart banter. It's a joy to read such fantastic lines. Clangs of titans banging heads is like a battlecry in the office of Modern Men. I loved the sharp as whip language, witty retorts, push and pull of positions.
“I much prefer it that way. I call, you come.”
“Call all you want, and see if I come,”
BDE force is pretty strong in the story... There's steamy sex and panting chemistry but there's also supporting love and energizing companionship. There's laughter and tears and hope and hopelessness. In the end the question to ask is pretty basic and straightforward. It's finely detailed, has a lot of heart and brings vulnerability to cold power rooms. Jessica gives a us a seat at office politics around board meetings. Up close and personal look at professional rivalry where lines get blurred
“I asked myself some things.
Where do I want to be?
Who do I want to be?
Who do I want to spend my days with? "
The answer is a KISS-keep It Simple. Stupid. Hold hands and build a home, with smiles, laughter, dogs and kids. Rest will follow
