In Tell Me You Want Me, we have Suzette and Adrian. Adrian just bought the company that Suzette works for, and he is in the process of restructuring everything. Layoffs are happening, and there is rumor of a merger with another company. But before the layoffs start, there is a meeting. And at that meeting, you can feel the moment when Suzette and Adrian make eye contact for the first time. It is intense. Shortly after that moment is when things at the company are getting shaken up. Suzette is going to fight for her team tooth and nail. Before that can happen though, she and Adrian begin a little "after 6pm" tryst. The attraction between the two is strong, but Suzette still is worried about her job, and that of her coworkers. Nothing Adrian can say is putting her at ease. Can Suzette keep her job (and that of her team) as well as grow this relationship with Adrian? Or is it all destined to fall apart?
I had mixed thoughts about Tell Me You Want Me. One one hand I really enjoyed Suzette and Adrian as a couple. The chemistry was strong, and the steamy moments were fogging up the windows. I liked how they were able to keep their tryst to "after 6pm". Before then it was business as usual, after that was their time together. They had that boundary set. As I said in my Goodreads mini review, I liked these two as a couple, but I struggled with Suzette. Everything for her, outside of the situation with Adrian, was about saving her job, and that of her coworkers. There was nothing else happening. So that made her a bit boring. Yes, it's a workplace romance, but we saw Adrian doing other things, and putting his out of office focus on those (granted they were business dealings, but it wasn't pertaining to the company that Suzette was working for). I wanted more of her life outside the office, and Adrian's bedroom. I struggled with that, and it definitely reflected in my rating. My rating by the way was 3.5 stars. Oh, and can we talk about that dramatic business moment that Adrian went through? LOVED THAT. From how it started, to the peak, to the conclusion, loved it.
Now the question comes of do I recommend Tell Me You Want Me. And honestly I don't know. If you're looking for a quick, steamy read? Then sure give it a go. If you're wanting a story that you feel connected to the characters? Then no I don't. I don't regret reading the book, not at all, it just didn't give me everything I wanted, so that makes it more difficult for me to suggest/recommend.
Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,
Laura

I didn't get to where I am by being nice.
I'm the boss, the CEO, the owner of whatever I want. Right now, that includes every person in this building of the company I just bought.
I stop at nothing once I've decided I'm taking something.
And then she showed up... full of spitfire just for me, the man she's decided is her worst enemy.
Like I said, I stop at nothing once I've decided I'm taking something. This pretty little thing just moved to the top of my "must acquire" list.

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day -- sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?
I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It's insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.
And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I'll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful career.
