Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Cocky Bastard, comes a sexy new standalone novel.
It started out like any other morning on the train.
Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.
He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.
Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?
Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.
When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.
I might have picked it up.
I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.
I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days—until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.
When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.
So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.
I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.
I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him—all before we even met.
The two of us couldn’t have been any more different.
Yet, you know what they say about opposites.
When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract—we consumed each other.
🫂
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Mr. big prick comes out of the strawberry milk closet!

The heroine(s): Soraya Venedetta – works for a popular advice columnist as a personal assistant. She has been on more than a few bad dates. Soraya dies the tips of her hair different colors to go with her mood. Her best friends are a tattoo artist and his wife who does the piercing.
The Hero(s): Graham J. Morgan – works in high finance and is very good at it. In the last 8 years he has built a company that ranks up there with some of the best in the business. Since his mother died, he has focused everything on building his business and has used his abrasiveness to push people away.
The Story: Soraya sees Graham the first time on the subway where he sits across from her and reams out a colleague on his cell phone while riding to his stop. Soraya finds his phone after he gets off and has no idea who to return it to, so she goes through the pictures on the phone. She sees pictures that intrigue her and point to the fact that he might not be the jerk who he first appeared to be. However, after calling and texting a few of his contacts she just can’t figure him out.
Soraya goes to Graham’s office to return the phone to him, but he refuses to open his door. She leaves the phone for him, but not until she takes a few sexy pictures to show him what he missed by not opening the door to her. At the end of the day, Graham gets the phone back and once he sees the pictures, he is the one that is intrigued.
I liked the story quite a bit, it was dual point of view with dual narration done by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell. Though most was told in Soraya’s POV. I love Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell was fine, but there is something about her voice I don’t relate to for some reason. I think I just like a softer voice or something. Though there is nothing wrong with her voice, it is just personal preference I guess.
The chemistry between Graham and Soraya was explosive and the romance was great. Part of Soraya’s job is to sort through the letters and emails her boss gets to give her the ones that would make good columns. Soraya takes it upon herself to answer some of the emails that aren’t chosen with her own brand of advice, which wasn’t sugary sweet and politically correct like her boss’s advice. Her and Graham begin trading emails this way, and I loved it.
