Right Kind Of Man (Holding Out For A Hero)
189 pages
A delightfully chaotic workplace romance where a grumpy boss and an underqualified assistant bicker their way to true love.
What it feels like
Reading this classic contemporary romance feels like watching a beloved nineties rom-com. It is breezy, brisk, and wonderfully chaotic, leaning hard into the delicious friction of the grumpy boss and sunshine employee dynamic. The narrative crackles with exasperated banter and the low-stakes tension of a heroine trying to fake her way through a job she is entirely unqualified for. The prose is snappy and accessible, keeping the pages turning as the initial annoyance melts into reluctant affection and, ultimately, a warm, grounded romance. It is the perfect comfort read for anyone who delights in workplace proximity, opposites attracting, and the cozy satisfaction of watching a rigid, rule-following hero completely lose his heart to a messy, vibrant heroine.

About the book
A working relationship?
Lorimer wanted an efficient, reliable PA, preferably one who could type! Skye Henderson didn't seem to fit any of these criteria, but he didn't have any other options.
Skye had run away from man trouble in one town only to run smack into Lorimer Kingan. Luckily, Skye didn't go for tall, dark and handsome types... especially when they were her boss. Lorimer seemed highly suspicious about her qualifications. So she'd told a couple of white lies, so what? Being a PA couldn't be all that difficult. Could it?
