Reader's Reviews > Working It

This was a big disappointment for me there was very little to draw me into the story. The two lead characters Ben and Emmy just didn't seem very sincere with one another, in particular Ben. Emmy is a small town girl not particularly innocent but she is unworldly. She's landed a job as an assistant to Fiona the boss of status models. Fiona represents mostly male models, one who seems to be her favourite is Ben. Fiona is a class A b**ch! Emmy seems to cope with Fiona far better than her numerous predecessors.

Fiona takes Emmy with her to France for three months to oversee Ben's assignments, Emmy is attracted to Ben but she feels as though she is punching above her weight with him he's way out of her league. But Ben seems intrigued with the cute little girl from Tennessee. They begin by sexting one another at night that soon progresses to more a lot more. But there is a big stumbling block for Emmy. What is Ben and Fiona's relationship, is it just professional or is there more to it.

Right from the get go I couldn't help thinking that Ben was using Emmy as a distraction while they were in France for three months, his relationship with Fiona was obviously more than he was telling Emmy. In fact when push came to shove he picked Fiona over Emmy almost every time there was a problem. As for Emmy she knew in her mind what was happening she didn't trust Ben but went there anyway. There's an awful lot of sex in this book as well, Ben's dirty talk didn't work for me it felt very forced. The scene that occurs later in the book was a WTF moment as it just didn't gel with Emmy's character. I was really surprised by the prologue as it totally gives the story away, I didn't get why the author did that. As to the rest of the plot, there were so many farfetched elements that made this a very disappointing read.
