A Brit Complicated by Brenda St. John Brown

I'm not a huge fan of boss-employee romances, especially with the implied power struggle. St. John Brown did a good job with having the story be from the point of view of Scarlett so we know that she is the one taking the lead on moving their office relationship into a more romantic sphere. But it is sort of confusing because we see that, in her head, she is not a fan of Bradley, her boss. Really not a fan. She finds him arrogant and standoffish. Until she starts showing him HER London and realizes there might be more to Bradley than she thought.
Not my favorite story but St. John Brown has a nice writing style that kept me going through the whole book.

A Brit Unexpected by Brenda St. John Brown

 What is a big-time Hollywood star to do when his ex-girlfriend claims to all the press that he is chasing after her shamelessly? Well, if his grandfather is dating a woman with a semi-presentable, eligible granddaughter, his grandfather might set up some staged photos between the star (Greyson Vaughn) and the narrator of our story, Claire. 
Neither actually knows that that's why they've been called to Castle Calder so when they first meet, it's as a star-struck fan and Hollywood heartthrob. Claire, especially, doesn't expect her grandmother to think this is a good idea. Not from the distant grandmother who raised her, the one who's all about propriety. And when Greyson finds out, he lashes out slightly at Claire which means she really doesn't want to get involved. But then Greyson offers her money... and so the deal is struck. They will pose for a few photos over the weekend to distract from Greyson's ex. Unless the heat that is bubbling up between them spills over into something real.
A cute story. The characters weren't super deep but a fluffy book was nice to read right now.
