Snowbound with the CEO by Shannon Stacey


Adrian Blackstone built a million-dollar business with hard work and determination—and by remaining professional at all times. Denying his longtime attraction to his beautiful executive assistant hasn't been easy but it's necessary. She's indispensable, and he can't stand the thought of losing her if things didn't work out.
For more than a year, Rachel Carter has been quietly dreaming of all the ways she'll never seduce her sexy, buttoned-up boss. She's worked too hard to get where she is to cross that line, no matter how badly she'd like to act on her fantasies. But then a wicked snowstorm leaves them stranded in a romantic winter wonderland…
What begins as a single kiss and a few bad Santa jokes turns into a weekend full of breathless passion and hopes for something more. But with Monday comes a return to their complicated reality—and Adrian must prove that promises made are promises kept, especially at Christmastime.

So this was a fun read. Quick and light. It was a fairly traditional boss/secretary story but I like those. I wanted to smack Adrian a few times, but that makes the book much better. The main conflict really boiled down to them each not wanting to admit what they wanted at one point or another. Once they got through that it was pretty simple. I did really like that Rachel wasn't a pushover, and that Adrian seemed like a pretty normal guy for a millionaire.
