A daring ultimatum – and an unlikely romance!
Perla Lyman is the glamorous force behind Lyman News, and insists on the truth being told. After surviving a bitter tell-all by an ex-boyfriend and hidden financial issues, the final blow is having a slanderous article posted to her news site–causing her reputation to shatter.

Powerful billionaire Lucas Braxton is darkly handsome and wildly successful, yet refuses any contact with the media. Especially someone as flashy and curious as Perla Lyman. But when his young, impulsive sister hacks into Lyman News, he is dragged into negotiating with the beautiful influencer.

When Lucas asks her not to press charges, she offers him an ultimatum. She’ll grant the favor if he’ll accompany her as her besotted date to various high-profile events and give an exclusive tell-all interview to Lyman News.

When their orchestrated romance puts them in close proximity, it proves impossible to resist their secret desire. Will their stark differences fuel their growing passion, or will they go their separate ways when their bargain ends?

*******
Her Thrilling Fling is the first book in the series Love at the Office. Each book is a stand-alone office romance and tells the story of one of the Lyman family members.

My Review

Her thrilling fling is a fake relationship romance. I do enjoy this kind of romance, but finding a reason for them that works is often hard. In this case, Pearla gets Lucas to be her pretend lover for a number of dates after his sister causes some difficulties at the newspaper Pearla owns and runs. Wanting to protect his sister, then the very private Lucas, is willing to spend time with journalist Pearla.

We hear a lot about how Lucas and Pearla are opposites and in some ways this is true. Lucas is money-driven and very private, while for Pearla her job is about what she does rather than what she can make from it. Even so this couple do seem to work well together and their relationship doesn't seem forced or unnatural.

I wasn't completely drawn into this world, possibly my problem rather than the book itself. It just didn't leave me desperate to find out what was going to happen next. Might just have been my frame of mind though. It was an interesting read and I'm sure that lots of people will really love it.
