Liberty is in need of a fresh start. She just found out her boyfriend, who she works with, has been using dating apps to send pictures of his junk to other ladies. So now she’s job-less and man-less. Her new job allows her to travel the world, affords her plenty of free time for dating, but she can’t seem to catch her stride. That is until she is assigned to spend more time with the company’s founder, who is off limits in more ways than one.

Parts of this novel were okay, but overall, it was not for me. I was having a hard time following the logic and likelihood of most of the events in this book. I didn’t care at all about these bad dates Liberty ended up on. I was only really interested once Jordan came into the picture, which was later on in the novel.
The main character really makes a fool of herself a few times, and though she’s not really ditzy, she doesn’t really come off well. The decisions she makes aren’t just bad decisions, they’re worse. Like, illegal.
Also, things wrapped up maybe too neatly there at the end. Technically it all tracks, but I just didn’t find it all that believable.
This wasn’t the one for me, unfortunately.
