From The Publisher:

Micah Preston, the media's favorite bachelor, wasn't anybody when Maddie Bauer met him 7 years ago. He was just the hot guy at the party who gave her an amazing orgasm and never called her again.

Now that her job is on the set of his latest movie, despite her vow to ignore his charm, she finds him pulling her focus.

Sexy, fast read, and despite the fact that Maddie occasionally got on my nerves - there were times where I wanted to shake her, for her lack of self-respect/willpower - I still really liked her. Just as I really liked Micah, when he pulled his head out of his butt and stopped imagining the world revolves around him.

That probably sounds overly harsh, because I really did like their characters. The situation they are in is complicated, and they struggled with it, and that's cool.

I think my only complaints are:

1. This love happened REALLY fast.

2. That douchebag director never got called out on his bullshit.
