Standing on the balcony, outside my boss’s apartment,
wearing only my underwear?
Not how I expected to start my Saturday morning.
I guess I should’ve thought harder about going home with my sexy new gym instructor, especially since I had no idea the guy was married. When he pushed me out onto the balcony, five seconds before his wife walked through the door, I jumped one apartment over because I thought it would be less embarrassing for a stranger to find me than his wife.
That was a smart move.
So here I am, wearing next to nothing and freezing my ass off, standing outside the living room window of my young, sexy, and very intimidating boss, Chase Winston.
I have two choices: I sit here and try to think of another way out of this and risk dying of hypothermia. Or I can suck it up and knock on that window. After a long, internal argument with myself, I choose
option two.
Here goes nothing…
**Awkward Love is a series of short, sexy, fun novels that can be read in ANY order. Each book is COMPLETELY separate from the next, so you can read one, or you can read them all!**
This is the second book in Missy Johnson’s Awkward Love series. The couple was just as awkward as the first couple. It didn’t take me long to finish once I started it.

This is the second book in Missy Johnson’s Awkward Love series. The couple was just as awkward as the first couple. It didn’t take me long to finish once I started it.
Alana is assistant to the assistant to her boss Chase. She hates her job. Alana knows she’s better qualified then to spend all day picking up her jerk boss shirts, coffee and all useless things. But, she stays bc he’s the best at his job and she just wants the chance to learn from him and not just learn how he takes his coffee.
Alana has a moment of weakness in the office and starts going off to her coworker and best friend. While she thinks he’s a pompous ass, she’d still like to go a couple rounds in the sheets with him. Alana realizes her boss is standing right behind her and heard her whole rant.
Yikes, if that’s not bad enough it continues to get worse for her. Alana’s trainer Jake from her gym asked her out and she agreed. She figures what’s one night to just let loose. One night won’t kill her. Alana gets down to her bra & panties and Jake’s wife comes home. If the fact he was married didn’t shock her, next thing she knew she’s getting pushed into his balcony in middle of the freezing night and left to freeze to death. Alana decides she can go back into his apartment or jump to the neighbors balcony and shock them and never see them again. Except the person who answers the door is no other then her boss.
Chase has worked hard to get where he’s at. He worked so hard that he drove his wife into the arms of his brother. The past few years have been hard. He’s trying to get past it. Chase works long hours. He doesn’t date, but he’s not celibate either.
When Chase opens his balcony door to see Alana in her tiniest underwear set she probably owns he’s thinking he’s being punked. He promised her he won’t bring it up again but he just can’t help himself. When he lets his assistant go he give the job to Alana.
Their chemistry is thru the roof. When they cross the line of boss/assistant, Alana puts the brakes on. She doesn’t want to be an office Romance gone wrong. Chase and Alana start spending more time together and they’re both catching feelings that they never thought they’d catch. Things aren’t that easy. When Chase’s brother comes knocking on his door asking for a favor he agrees to it. It’s his brother and only family and won’t make him do it alone. The catch he has to bring Alana. He lies to get her there and the lies start coming out and Chase might loose the one person he loves before he truly realized it.
I loved Chase. Even though he was a jerk in the beginning and lied to Alana at the end. His actions spoke louder then anything else. The fact that Alana played SO many mind games with him and he took them all in stride. And, even after his brother did the unthinkable he was still willing to help him without a question even though he knew what would happen to him.
Alana I liked for half the book and the other half I didn’t. She claimed she didn’t want a relationship with Chase. Then get mad at him in the next sentence. She was like a dude with the mind games she played. But, she was there when Chase needed her.
I’m looking forward to the next few books that are releasing in this series. Bc, they def have me laughing out loud.

Excerpt
“Seriously, did you see the way she looked at me when she
told me not to stuff it up?” I huff, stalking back over to Peyton. “Like, God forbid
I put two sugars in his damn coffee instead of one. Hey, maybe I should slip
some laxatives in there?” I say with an evil grin. “I mean, he walks around
like he’s got something lodged up his ass, maybe all he needs is a good,
old-fashioned cleanout.”
“Lanna—”
“No. I don’t care how ridiculously sexy he is or how dreamy those blue eyes are
to stare into,” I say, cutting her off.
I was on a roll, and Peyton wasn’t going to stop me. I have two years’ worth of
frustration to vent, and it’s all coming out now, one way or another.
“He’s an asshole to everyone here but Jade, and I bet that’s only because she’s
sucking his cock. Not that I wouldn’t go there if he asked me to—”
“Lanna,” Peyton hisses, her eyes wide.
“Oh, come on, like you wouldn’t suck his cock too,” I retort, nodding knowingly
at her. “Hey, maybe we could tag team him.”
We’d had a lengthy discussion about this a few weeks ago over a bottle of
tequila, so I knew exactly what she wanted to do with that ten inches of pure
stiff muscle. And I thought I was the dirty one. I
chuckle to myself and turn around. My heart skips a beat when I spot Chase
leaning against Jade’s desk. He smirks at me and casually lifts one eyebrow.
Oh, god no.
My heart pounds as I wait for him to react. This can’t be happening. I cannot
believe I just said that. Well, I can believe it, because I say shit like that
every day, but not when he’s standing right behind me. I glare at Peyton, who
releases a snort and then flushes, bowing her head. Chase’s eyes don’t leave me
as I glance around the room, praying for an escape, but there isn’t one.
It’s like a scene from a really bad movie. With any luck, he’ll drag me outside
and throw me on the back of his bike and take me somewhere to have his way with
me. Or his office will do just fine.
“Is Jade here?” he asks, directing his question at me, his smooth, deep voice
making me shiver.
I shake my head, incapable of speaking. I think it’s worse that he’s ignoring
the obvious issue of my outburst. I’d almost prefer for him to say something
about it. Anything. Almost... He nods, and then walks over to the door,
stopping just as he reaches it. I brace myself as he turns his attention back
to me.
“Alana?” he asks.
I force myself to meet his steel blue eyes, wishing he didn’t find this so damn
amusing.
“Yes?” I whisper, feeling sick. God, I am so embarrassed.
“While I appreciate your attentiveness to my health, I can assure you that
everything is functioning just as it should. Maybe you should focus more on
your job and less on things that don’t concern you?” he asks lightly. “Like who
is and isn’t sucking my cock.”
He walks out, briskly closing the door behind him.
I stumble over to my desk and slump down onto my chair, my eyes wide. I breathe
out, feeling dazed. My heart’s racing and I’m feeling a mixture of extreme
nausea and embarrassment over the whole situation. Every time I think about
what I just said, more or less to his face, I
want to throw up.
Peyton rushes over to me, both panicked and trying not to laugh, which under
any other circumstance would be a funny combination. I glare at her, which sets
her off.
“I’m so sorry,” she giggles, shaking her head. “I swear I’m not laughing at
you, but that just made my fucking day.”
“I’m glad I can be a source of amusement for you,” I grumble, my tone sour.
“At least he knows your name now.” she offers, her eyes twinkling.
I scowl at her. I think I preferred it when he didn’t.
