Synopsis

She’s sexy, fierce, and a loud-mouthed know-it-all…and she’s completelyoff limits.

Cecilia isn’t your typical college student. Hell, she isn’t a college student at all, but that doesn’t stop her from applying for one of the biggest and prestigious enterprises in the Midwest.

She wants it. She takes it.
She doesn’t let anything get in her way when it comes to finding out the truth.

When Bentley Leighton, soon-to-be CEO of Leighton Enterprises, meets “Ceci,” he’s instantly impressed. He doesn’t have time to train a new intern. However, when he sees her that first day, his intentions begin to change.

He’s the boss. She’s the intern.
Nothing can happen. It’s against the company rules.

Then again, rules were made to be broken.

What starts as innocent flirting becomes raveled up into so much more—secrets, lies, deceit.

*The Intern is a three-part romantic suspense serial.*
Not suitable for readers under 18

Review

“This is crazy. I can’t think of her like that, she’s my goddamn intern.”

Well, Brooke has done it again! She has grabbed my attention and left me wishing I could just read more and more of this story right now. Right from the beginning I was intrigued by Ceci’s tragic story and her desire to solve the mystery of her father’s murder. I absolutely LOVED Ceci’s fearlessness in going after what she wanted whether that was solving the crime or flirting with the sexy boss!

“While I was researching Leighton Enterprises, I came across many pictures of Mr. Leighton himself. He’s gorgeous on screen, but in person, he’s trip-over-yourself-just-to-lick-him gorgeous.”

I guess I am a sucker for a taboo romance, but really who wants to always read about people who are predictable and you know how they would end up. Give me a good age difference along with roles that scream WE CAN”T DO THIS any day. This story is HOT! So freaking hot but I knew it would be. Brooke never lets me down when it comes to writing a story that keeps me entertained, turned on, and desperate to see what will happen next.

“Note: No allowing skirts at work. On second thought . . . Only short skirts allowed.”

Ceci is a high school senior posing as a college student in order to get an internship at a firm where she might get some insight into her father’s case. Bentley is a former model who is now taking a role in the family business and finds himself with an attractive and ambitious new intern. From the moment they meet till the moment they give in the chemistry between these two is so strong. Bentley is an amazing dirty talker and had me weak in the knees for him every time he opened his hot, sexy mouth.

“If you keep talking like that I’m not going to make it that far.” I smirk “Then. Take. Off. Your. Fucking. Pants.”

Personally I found that The Intern was a great read because in addition to being amazingly sexy and fun it was a well written story with layers. Ceci’s struggle to accomplish what she is at this job to do (get information on her father’s murder) and the distraction her super seductive boss creates makes me wonder where this story will go. After reading this first part in a three part series all I can say is when do I get my volume two cause I need that like yesterday!
