4 Smooches
Synopsis
The plan for Cici Carrington was to steadily climb UP the corporate ladder, and hopefully do so without her skirt tucked into the back of her underpants. Unfortunately, there was no contingency plan for the aftermath of spending a night trapped in an elevator with a suit-wearing Elevator Sex God named Cole Danvers. A one…or two-time dalliance wouldn’t normally throw off the course of someone’s life…unless you find out you have to work together the next day.
To further complicate matters, Cici’s best friend is also her Human Resources Director. She has to hide her secret from every person she knows. Her only confidant is her one-eyed cat, and his loyalty is tenuous at best. Toss in an accidental mugging, a bungled disguise, secret meetings, and unintentional arson, and Cici’s beautiful, careful plan has fallen by the wayside.
Perhaps there aren’t any hard and fast rules in life. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too. Sometimes following the rules doesn’t get you ahead.
And perhaps sometimes you can get off between floors…
Review
“Damn you and damn the way you wear a suit!’
I love a romantic comedy and it is clear from the beginning that Katherine Stevens is a very funny lady. Going Down is deliciously sexy and wickedly fun. For a debut novel this story was well written and very entertaining, Cici and Cole have an instant attraction when stuck in a broken elevator together and that instant attraction turned into a instant hook up. all is well and good until Cici finds out that Cole is her new assistant making her his boss. UH OH!
“I don’t think very clearly when you do that thing you do.” “What thing is that?” he asked as I raced toward the door. “That thing where you stand there and breathe and just generally exist on the planet.”
Going Down left me in a state of constant smiles and all around good feelings. The perfect antidote to a tough day, week, month or year. I loved Cole and he had me swooning all over the place. Cici was fun and strong and when she was with her BFF Maggie hilarity soon ensued. For a first book Katherine Stevens did a good job and I am excited to see what she gives us in the future.
