Unaccounted For
I enjoyed the story, I just didn't love it.
Maryn and Gabe are coworkers at a big accounting firm and they find themselves mutually hating their boss and commiserating over the food that Maryn brings to share. Gabe constantly flirts with Maryn and she tolerates it due to her troubled past. When Maryn is fired over finding a discrepancy in the books for a major client Gabe ends up quitting the next day and they open up their own accounting firm to try and solve the mystery of why this major client is having so many problems with their books.
One thing leads to another and as their love for each other grows, threats from the client and treats from Maryn’s unknown past become unbearable – Maryn freaks out and Gabe is there to help pick up the pieces.
The spice in this book was good and it came out of nowhere. Maryn does not seem like a character that would be SO into sex as she is and be as bold as she’s portrayed. For some reason, to me, the two just don’t match and I find her character hard to connect with.
What I don’t find hard to connect with is her past with the ex-boyfriend, I feel that is something most women can connect to and relate to her about.
The client part of the story I didn’t feel like was needed, I kinda wish it was the ex that was the main problem in the story. I feel like that would have made the story more relatable and would have made Maryn’s character make more sense.
