There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it
cuts right through the middle of their office.
Bad boys? They run right over good girls like Georgina Keller.
But after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.
Sebastian Quinn’s taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career.
Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her.
Because if Sebastian gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

Excerpt
At the stadium’s concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?”
She gasped into her hand. “My breath is fine.”
“I meant his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.”
She made a face. “Gross.”
“I happen to love relish,” I said. “But does François?”
Each time I said François with flourish, she flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my finger on it.
“We didn’t kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out.
“So? If I were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop me.”
“Frank and I are clicking,” she said, scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.”
“Hamptons?”
She coughed into her fist. “Boca Raton.”
The idea of Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great, why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.”
“You two should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.”
“But then I wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.”
“For someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t seen you successfully flirt with any girls since I’ve known you.”
I smirked. “How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”
My Thoughts <3
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! I do not normally start off with my rating, but this book definitely warrants it! A true enemies to lovers at it’s finest along with some of the realist characterization that I have ever read! I have not read much by Jessica Hawkins, but let’s just say that is going to change soon!
Sebastian is a Creative Director over Modern Man, a magazine that caters to men and it is failing. His boss decides to bring in Georgina, a consultant that is familiar with helping failing magazines get out of their rut. To say that he sees this as a personal attack, is definitely saying it lightly! Sebastian worked his way up at the magazine and had a huge part to play for it’s success. It worked until it didn’t.
Sebastian is truly an amazing guy, he is caring, alpha, and oh so swoon worthy, when he truly acts himself. Problem is, he had a tragedy recently and that has had him question,
Who is Sebastian Quinn?
Georgina is extremely relatable, she herself went through a traumatic experience recently that also has her questioning,
Who is Georgina Keller?
I can tell you though- she is amazing! Fierce, kind, and the kind of gal I would want to be friends with.
The chemistry between the two of these characters is absolutely insane and I absolutely dug it. You are gonna have to read for yourself how everything plays out because the writing and realism is superb and I would not want to spoil ti for you. All I can say, is you should read this book right away!
