Exasperated by poor management starting with CEO Marco “Casanova”
Perconti, Karin Norell needs to hang on for twelve weeks before she informs the
Perconti Hotel leadership to “take this job and shove it” (Johnny Paycheck) up their dumb affluent
butts. Once she obtains her hospitality
degree, frustrated Karin plans to quit, but will do her best even if ideas from
staff like her die in unopened voice mail.
Everyone is on edge with the General, Marco’s demanding older
brother Leo, arriving at the Boston hotel.
The penthouse suite Leo will stay in was trashed last night by another
brother “Martini”. Trapped in the
penthouse following a last second cleaning, Karin overhears Marco begging Leo
for money for the hotel, but the General says no. After the sibling meeting, Leo sees Karin and
assumes Marco sent her. Though she
should retreat, they share sex in the tub and elsewhere. When Marco’s female “gift arrives, Karin begs
Leo not to fire her as she flees.
Distracted Leo wonders who she is while Karin now knows why her friend
Wes risks all for trysts with a Perconti even as the paparazzi sharks gather
for the kill.
The first Playboys of Boston
contemporary is an enjoyable romance though the premise has been done numerous
times (see the Lopez-Fiennes movie Maid In Manhattan). There is some redundancy that affirms this
originally were e-books serialization.
Suzanne Rock brilliantly captures the hotel’s hierarchy in which the
actual value of an idea is equal to its worth and as critical the level of its
highest supporters (paraphrasing one of Putt’s Laws).
