Corporate Fire: Corporate Romance Book 1

Evelyn Aster writes romance for Grown-Ass Women

Grace has spent her life protecting herself from emotional pain. She's a workaholic with few friends and fewer dates. But despite her devotion to her job, she falls victim to a corporate layoff.

Escaping to the slopes to ski away her troubles, she's relentlessly pursued by the model-gorgeous ax man Royce. Finally she challenges him to a ski race: if she wins, he leaves the resort, and if he wins, she has to have dinner with him. The unexpected result of the race leaves Grace reeling in a romance that brings her walls crashing down.

But when someone sets fire to her old office and casts the blame in her direction, will she be willing to trust Royce, or will she retreat to the safety of her defenses?

Editorial Review from the wordpress blog Romance Novels for the Beach written by Lauren Szymanski

This is another delightful read from Evelyn Aster. It tells a cute, yet sensual love story with a leading man to drool after, and a female heroine to admire. Royce can be very smooth and flirtatious when he wants to be, which just makes my toes curl! There’s also some suspense built in towards the end dealing with disgruntled employees from the initial corporate firing, and it helps bring the entire story together full circle. My only complaint is that I wish Grace and Royce’s relationship had dragged on a bit longer. Our love-birds basically fall in love over the time-span of a weekend, and I think it would have been very interesting if we could have seen them try and deal with the struggles of a long-term relationship.
