Cruel Truths by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lindy Garcia left her family behind in San Jose to move to New York and give herself a chance to live her dreams. In an effort to help them and help alleviate some of her guilt, she shares an apartment in which her bedroom is in a walk in closet, but the trade off is that she and her roommate keep polar opposite hours for their jobs and she gets to have an apartment in a safe part of town. When she takes one last shot to start following her dreams by applying for a personal assistant job, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.

Cade Kingsley is an intense, brooding man who is a genius with his business sense. He is a marketing wizard and also the son of matriarch of Carrington Couture – the absolute pinnacle of success in Lindy’s eyes. As she waits for her interview, she senses quite a bit of tension in the office. After jumping in to try to help, she realizes what they’re all afraid of is the man she is waiting to interview with – and just interrupted while he was speaking.

Cade and Lindy are immediately surrounded by tension and fireworks, but more of the annoyed with one another kind. While Lindy knows she needs to work harder than ever to make this job work and to start climbing that ladder, something about Mr. Ahole just drives her absolutely insane. What she begins to learn as the book progresses is that his intensity isn’t just for intimidation in the business meeting. When Cade manages to convince Lindy to pretend to be his girlfriend to help seal a deal, she has no choice but to say yes. Will the sparks fly or will tempers flare first?
