wildfire Sam Owens gets Lillian hot in all the right ways, but there's more to
the software CEO than just a pretty face. And a great body. And… Oh, right.
He’s the enemy, according to the contract she signed with his rival. So when
they secretly meet up for movies at The Electric, Lillian can't get too
involved with Sam. She could lose her job. Her reputation. And her heart.
Sam is in love with his company, his image, his video games, and his ability to avoid commitment--at least until he levels up with attorney Lillian Walker. With her love of campy horror flicks and a body that makes him want to howl like a cartoon wolf, Sam’s found his leading lady. Too bad getting close to Lillian means tangling with her boss, a supervillain in the making.
In the nights leading up to Christmas, movies at The Electric mean more than just mutant toads and cannibal fruitcakes. Between shenanigans with old flames and an arch nemesis out to destroy any future they might have, Sam and Lillian learn the hard way that falling in love isn’t as easy as it looks on screen. When the past gets in the way of a perfect “the end,” there’s really only one solution--if werewolf Santas can bring them together, zombie ex-girlfriends can keep them together.
After all, anything’s possible at The Electric.

“I ship you guys now,” Ravi said, out of the blue.
“What?”
“Shipping. Fandom. It means I’m invested in seeing you two
kids stick together. So I heart your relationship. Sam’s attitude sucked for so
long, but since meeting you, he’s really coming around. That’s why I want to
move forward with this gaming division now. He’s like a newborn. Soft and
big-eyed and completely vulnerable.”
“There isn’t a relationship at the moment. It’s kind of a
work-in-progress.”
“Everything’s a work-in-progress. If it weren’t, nothing
would improve. Sam’s improved a lot.”
Lillian sighed. “That’s true. But this time, the problem
isn’t Sam. It’s me.” Suddenly embarrassed, she groaned and shielded her eyes
with her hands to avoid Ravi’s intense gaze. “Ignore me. Please.”
“You don’t know me well enough yet to make me shut up so,
no. Not going to ignore you, and I’m going to tell you what I think. You’re
running bad code.”
Her eyes darted up from beneath her palm shield. “I don’t
consider myself an idiot but, what?”
“Okay, coding is all
about input and output. To input tense code… I mean, inputting good code
produces the desired output. If my code is bad, I get a demented program. You
only get what you put in, so if you’re only giving Sam part of your code, or
only bad code, then he can’t give you what you want because he can’t debug your
issues. He has to see all of it to understand.”
REVIEW
*4 stars *
Sam & Lillian were great together. Their time together was fun and sexy all rolled into one. I liked that they are little forbidden, considering she works for the enemy so to speak. I really enjoyed their journey to building their bond together. The story was well written with so many emotional twists. A great romance with amazing characters.
