Day of Employment: 358 10:15 a.m. Location: Cubicles outside Canon's office. Co-workers: Betting on how long Canon's new PA will last. Me: No doubts. Ms. Gum-smacker won't last the day. I need to place my bet. Manolo Blahnik's New Fall Shoes: Mine. As soon as Madeline hands over my winnings. Emma Baker has never spoken a word to Alaric Canon, nor has he to her. But she's studied him every day across the office tundra for almost a year. Canon is hard and fierce, terrifying and beautiful. He's also the most stern, unforgiving person Emma has ever seen. Emma's co-workers run a betting pool for Canon's Personal Assistant terminations. There's a separate pot for the day one leaves without crying. Not likely...Canon made a former Navy SEAL cry. He has high standards and low tolerance. Everyone knows it. Everyone stays away. Everyone who can, that is. Except Emma. She can't look away. Alaric Canon is the single most attractive man she's ever seen. Bar none. Canon has never noticed her. Not once in almost a year. She's not even a blip on his radar. But she will be. His radar will be blipless no more. It is a goal. Emma has a plan.
Day of Reading: 2
Location: sofa laying on it.
Clothes: PJs
House: disaster area....dishes still in sink, laundry not done, kids had cereal for dinner.
Book: Read.
Emotional state: Book hangover.....not wanting it to end.
As you can tell I loved this book! This book is for all of us that have loved someone from afar.......not sure if they even knew we were alive. I love Emma's inner dialog with herself. She is laugh out loud funny! I felt like Cannon was and reacted like a man would actually act not how we want men to act. Not intouch with his feelings and a man of few words. Qwen Salsburg, whatever you write next, I am there ready to buy and read!!!
Love------"I know you. Don't tell me I don't." Serious. He looks dead serious. "Your name is Emmma Jacklyn Baker............you love movie theater popcorn, but hate mircowave. You like Pepsi, prefer Coke and never ever RC. Your favorite sweater is electric blue; you wear it at least once every two weeks in cool weather........."
