He broke all his rules... for her.

Real estate development CEO Blake Whitman is an Aquarius with a philanthropic nature, but when it comes to work, he's driven and focused, and he would never, ever mix business with pleasure. As far as he's concerned, office romance is off the table.

He also never backs down from a challenge, and Kira Layton just accused him of ruining the community. What better way to get her on his side than to hire her?

But the more he tells himself to keep his hands off his new, sexy secretary, the harder it is for him to come up with reasons why office romances never work and why it's a bad idea to cross the line...

My Review:

Blurring the Lines was such a great romantic story between two individuals whose paths perfectly crossed when they least expected it and it soon changes their lives forever.

Right at the beginning of the story we get to meet Kira Layton, an animal lover who is also determined to get what she wants no matter what. When she gets news that someone is going to ruin the community that is dear to her heart, she is set to change the stranger's mind. When she stumbles against a handsome stranger at the park sparks set off between the two of them and they part ways only to meet again in different circumstance. The minute she realizes that the stranger is non other than CEO, Blake Whitman, the man that is going to ruin her community she is set out to make him see the beauty of the place that her mother loved the most. But soon things immediately change when instead of sending her off, Blake actually hires her as his personal assistant without knowing that his life was going to change from then on. As the two of them start to spend more time together, the more Kira sees that Blake is not the awful person that she thought he'd be.


An office romance is off the table for Blake, but his new secretary is changing everything about his life and he can't stop that as the more time he spends with her, the more he starts to like her even more. He soon finds himself promising that he'll do anything in his power to stop the reconstruction of the new building from happening, but things immediately change and that is when he'll have to decide what truly is important to him in the end. I really enjoyed reading the book, it was cute and funny seeing how the two main characters interacted with each other. Kira is a loving person who loves fostering animals and she even gets Blake to take on a couple dogs to his house, which was hilarious. There really isn't a big conflict that needs to be solved in the story, which made the story refreshing and quick to read. The chemistry between the characters in undeniable and it makes the story that much more enjoyable to read. Overall, if you are looking for a romance story I would highly recommend picking this book up. :)
