A Seductive Boss
Marie-Louise Damberte
When Jessica finally finishes her architectural studies and then goes to Paris for an internship, she can barely speak a word of French. Gaëtan, another intern at the firm where she’ll work, meets her at the airport. He quickly falls in love with her and tells her to watch out at work, especially because her new boss is very seductive. She doesn’t take his advice and quickly becomes under the spell of Etienne, an internationally famous architect. He’s especially interested in Jessica’s Chinese origins so that he can conquer more of the market in China. Their affaire takes over her life more than she could ever have imagined. Can she nonetheless go back to Gaëtan, whom she realizes she truly loves?

Such an interesting book... Hmmm...
I loved the description, first and foremost. I felt like I was in Paris: I could see the city through the eyes of Jessica, who is a regular girl from America.
The main problem I had with the book was the quick jumps. The character development was a bit quick, for example. Gaetan likes Jessica, but how can he still like her right after knowing that she had an affair with her boss, even though he had warned her before? Realistically, a guy who had to go through that would be hurt and not be able to immediately go back: he'd have to think about the situation at least for a little bit, regardless of how much he loved the girl. There was also some side characters that end up being with Jessica and the others towards the end, but I wish we had seen them throughout the story more.
Otherwise, it was a good book. It was certainly not your average "bad affair" storyline: there are twists that make you cringe, maybe even spark anger within you. But that means that the book did a good job in being able to stir your emotions!
This is a very good and short book to read if you are looking for something that'll quench your reading needs!
My Rating:
1/5 I didn't like it
2/5 It was okay
3/5 I liked it
4/5 I really liked it
5/5 It was amazing
