Book Review: Taxable Feelings

 

Success and popularity don’t go hand in hand.

That’s a fact Helen Kingsley understands all too well. After quickly climbing the corporate ladder at her finance firm, she found it to be lonelier toward the top. She doesn’t care, though. Her pride buoys her through the nights of solitude, as empty as they can be.

Two weeks before the biggest accounting day of the year―tax day―Helen is confident about the prospect being promoted. Her excellent work ethic ensures her chances. Everything seems to be coming together until a frustrating encounter with a handsome, albeit snarky new coworker shakes her bravado.

Carter Matthews presents a more frustrating challenge than Helen has faced in years. His notable intelligence and integrity mirror her own, making him a threat to her position. She doesn’t need any competition, and Carter’s diligence could jeopardize the promotion she’s worked so hard for.

A rival in the office is bad enough, but when her boss makes her Carter’s mentor, she’s forced to set her animosity aside. In doing so, she learns that he isn’t as horrible as she thinks. He’s tender and charming when he wants to be, but Helen doesn’t know how to handle that side of him, so she pushes him away.

Little by little, he seeps through her carefully constructed walls. Helen softens to the idea of letting someone into her heart, but not without hesitation. Having Carter in her professional life is no problem, but allowing him into her personal life is taxing. She’ll have to decide if facing her true feelings is worth the risk.

My Review

This newest book in this series is a hoot! There is no love lost when Carter and Helen first meet. It is not love at first sight or second, or even third!

Helen gets called into her boss's office, only to learn that Carter is the newest hire at her firm. She has been charged with mentoring him. There were some barbs traded back and forth between these two. Carter even told Helen she had no personality. 

I laughed at this statement..."April was always a fickle month in Colorado." This is hundred percent the truth. I should know living in Colorado. 

This is a fun, entertaining, quickie read! Who knew that tax season did not have to be all business. It can be fun too.
