Cooper & Meghan: A beautiful courtship, but there were a few missteps
Cooper was smitten at first glance. The moment he laid eyes on Meghan, the woman applying for the job as his assistant. The attraction was mutual. After a crazy night together, they both agree to keep things strictly professional. If only they could keep their hands off one another!
I really enjoyed this book. One of the main reasons why I enjoyed it was because we mostly got to see the "falling in love" POV from the Hero's perspective. It was refreshing not being inside the heroine's head for most of the book and experience how it is when the hero falls in love first. Cooper was so adorable with his possessive nature towards Meghan. Meghan was very likeable and sweet. It was easy to root for her and them as a couple.
However, there were a few issues that didn't make sense and foreshadowing of the main characters that were revealed but never really addressed by the books end.
First, the author pointed out that Meghan dressed in baggy clothes and very conservative due to something that occurred in her past. However, the reason why was never brought out or addressed in the book. Furthermore, Meghan started dressing very provocatively at work and when going out with her gal pal, even though she felt uncomfortable with the clothes and the attention. When did that change? The explanation of "my friend made me wear it" was lame and thin. This was the excuse constantly used and it seemed to be a reach as far as I'm concerned.
Cooper appeared to have a valid gripe against his father and the fact that his dad was unfaithful to his mother. What I don't understand is that if he had such a problem with his father and loathed him like he said, why would he accept a company from him to run? Again, the logic here is paper thin.
There were also huge gaps in their story where we jumped from present time to two months later, then seven months later, then a year later, then 18 months later... I felt like I was in some sort of TARDIS, quantum leaping through time. It was too much to be crammed into one book and an editor should have caught this. Nevertheless, I'm not mad at the book and the plot was excellent. This just could have been better with proper editing.
A good read if you like Office Romances and HEAs.
Happy reading!
