Enjoyable romance with wonderful characters

Poor Bridget really has had a tough time of it. At her previous job, she was in a relationship with her boss who basically used her and their relationship as a cover for his mistakes. She now has two rules: 1. No sex on the first date; and 2. Don't date anyone at work. And she breaks both her rules when she meets Jack. To be fair she didn't know she was breaking her second rule. Imagine her shock when she is introduced to her new boss on Monday morning, the same man she slept with on Saturday night.

This book is fraught with all the angst and anguish of a strong attraction that is forcefully denied. Even when Jack and Bridget reach the point where they can no longer deny their desire for each other, they set parameters to their fledging relationship, mainly to keep work and their relationship completely separate. Theoretically that makes sense but life has a way of intervening.

Both the protagonists are very likeable. Their budding relationship has a lot of potential. And if that was it, the story would have been boring. But it isn't. Bridget works in a male dominated industry. She is committed to her job as a safety officer. Jack, as her new boss, quickly realises how overlooked she is by the management and what an asset she is to the company. Together they need to balance their personal lives with their professional. All this against a backdrop of safety risks at work.

I enjoyed the story. I loved how strong and vulnerable both characters are. I cannot wait to hear the rest of the books in this series.
