Inappropriate

There I was, enjoying the banter and the relationship growing between our couple, and then I realized something huge was going on in the background. While my dread grew, when the big thing was revealed, I was absolutely destroyed. How that was handled, beautiful and sensitively. The impact on the overall story, deep and soul-touching. This was one of those stories that stays with you, comes back to you when you least expect it, and makes a lasting impression.

Ireland Saint James is the anchor on the local morning show where she is known as Ireland Richardson. After a fun week celebrating for her best friend's bachelorette party in Aruba, Ireland arrives back home to find out she has been fired because of a video taken while on vacation. Beyond livid, Ireland starts drinking some wine and ends up sending the CEO of her company a scathing email letting him know exactly how she feels. The next morning Ireland wakes up for work and realizes what she had done and is even more horrified to realize that that the CEO replied back. For the first time in a long time a woman has intrigued Grant Lexington. Her biting sarcasm kept him entertained and Grant finds himself helping her get her job back. As Grant comes up with more ways to spend more time with Ireland the sparks begin to fly. They both know that a relationship within the company is not a good idea, but it's also not against the rules and they quickly morph into something more. Just when it looks like their lives are going great, demons from the past come haunting back. It is going to take a lot of deep, soul searching for these two to get to their happy ending but in the end it is all worth it. I just adored these two characters. Ireland is smart, funny and confident but still has some emotional baggage from her past. Grant is gorgeous, cocky and so emotionally damaged it seems that he would never move on with his life but thankfully Ireland was able to break down those walls so he could find his happy ever after. Overall this was a perfect story with such great characters, lots of laughs and an emotional punch in the heart.

Inappropriate is about a woman who is terminated from her job, for an unsuitable video that went viral, and she emails the CEO and tells him exactly what she thinks of his policies. Well, that's the short version and it already had me wanting more. I think its funny when alcohol plays a part in the thoughts when sending these emails and lucky for Ireland, her boss's boss's boss thought it was slightly funny too. There is a little back and forth with the telecommunications in the beginning but mostly this story is about the relationship between these two and how they navigate through the issues they both bring to the party. Grant Lexington is not your typical CEO. He’s not only comfortable in the boardroom, he also likes to be on committees as well as being handy with the tools. You could say he was juggling a few balls! Most of us have baggage when starting a new relationship, but Grant's truly was full and sad. What he sees in Ireland though is a chance, a change of something new and exciting and also a little scary. Probably because his feelings for her are instant. Ireland is a little more reserved in her actions towards the 'playboy' but as they spend more and more time together, she sees only the best in him. I adored Grant, I genuinely did. He was smart and attentive and knew exactly what he wanted. What I loved the most was that he was human, and he had deep emotions that effected how these two could come together. And when he stuffs up, he makes up even better. Ireland was the perfect choice to help Grant handle being in a relationship again. She had patience and understanding that some women wouldn't. She was his equal on all parts that mattered.
