DESCRIPTION
Secrets, desires, and exquisite pie. It’s all in a day’s work at The Company.
Growing up, I was the rough guy from the wrong neighborhood who couldn’t catch a break. Posy was the pampered girl I tried to impress. But I managed to steal only a single kiss before I had to skip town.
Now I’m back, and the tables are turned. Posy runs a struggling pie shop. I’m the VP of a secretive billion dollar security company.
Not that I can tell her.
There’s a murderer on the loose in New York, and he seems to spend a lot of time at Posy’s shop. I can’t let on that I’m here to bring him down before he can harm a hair on her pretty head.
Going undercover as Posy’s new barista wasn’t my idea. I don’t even drink coffee. But now I have to call her “boss,” and do everything the curvy perfectionist asks of me. I’d forgotten how much we infuriate each other, and that she somehow fills me with both irritation and desire in the same breath.
There’s nobody more skilled at stealth ops than me. I can bring this killer down. Right after I take a cold shower. And just as soon I figure out how to make a skinny peppermint latte with milk poured in the shape of a kitten...
Note: This is Gunnar's book (Max's right-hand man)

REVIEW
I'm a huge fan of Sarina Bowen's Brooklyn/Brooklyn Bruisers series, so I love that The Company is a spin-off of it! I'm always a fan of seeing familiar characters, so I was super excited to read LOVERBOY! I do still have to go back and read MOONLIGHTER, but I was able to keep up with this one since they work as standalones. The interesting thing about The Company is that it's a little bit different compared to a lot of Sarina Bowen's other romances because it has some romantic suspense elements. It still contains all of the delightful things her romances usually have...but it has that added tension and level of anticipation, which I thought she did very well.I absolutely adored Gunnar and Posy! Their chemistry was phenomenal--their banter and teasing were fantastic, and I loved how the two of them fit together and how they complemented one another. Posy owns a pie shop called Posy's Pies, and I really loved how the shop played into the story. The food and coffee descriptions made me super hungry and desperate for a latte...and the descriptions were so vibrant. I also was super intrigued by Gunnar's work...he and the other members of The Company sure have mysterious pasts!
Overall, I thought that LOVERBOY was sexy, captivating, and super intriguing! I don't typically read a lot of romantic suspense, so this was a nice change of pace for me. I'd recommend this to contemporary romance fans who love a bit of suspense, vivid food descriptions, and intense chemistry between the leads.
