The Office Party - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

The Office Party (Holiday Homecoming #1)

by Whitney G.

What is it about:

I can’t believe that I pulled my boss’s name for our company’s annual Secret Santa tradition…

As the devil incarnate, this infuriating, cocky bastard never gives us the holidays off, and he honestly expects us to be grateful for his generous alternative: The Office Party.

It’s a mandatory, all-expenses trip for two weeks at a surprise luxury resort—where we still have to work twelve to fifteen hours a day.

I’m so over this…

So, I put zero percent effort into his gift. I tear the tag off whatever my sister gifts me, add a five-dollar amazon gift card, and hand it off to him.

It’s not until my sister sends me a text that I realize how terrible of a decision that was.

Georgia: Why haven’t you sent me a 'LOL' about the brand-new vibrator I got you? I really do hope that you use your boss’s face as a muse, like my note says. :-)

If that’s not bad enough, this year’s "luxury trip" will be in my hometown--the place I've avoided for years. At the resort that my grandmother owns...

If the universe gets me out of this, I will never ‘regift’ anything ever again…

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:

After reading The Love Hypothesis I wanted more Contemporary Romance. This novella sounded like it could be fun.

Yeah...

I finished it because it was a quick read, but I kept waiting for it to become good until the end.

I didn't like the heroine and I didn't like the hero. The company sounded like an illegal nightmare I would never consider working at, and then there was the puke-worthy 'family is the greatest even when they're jerks' thrown in for no reason at all. 

If there had been more than one and a half lukewarm sex scenes in there it might have saved some of this unrelatable train wreck, but even that was not to be.

Why should you read it:

If you like romances with workaholic bossy people you might enjoy this.
