No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) rumarianna | Feb 17, 2024 |  I was reading this for the 2017 Romance Bingo, for the New Adult square. I guess I’ll have to find another book. Doodlebug34 | Jan 1, 2024 | These secrets and more pour out of Emma to her seat-mate on a flight home from Glasgow, where she went for work. Emma was already terrified of flying, but the plane ran into turbulence. Thinking she was dying, she told her most intimate secrets (her weight! her underwear problems! her secret fantasies!) to the handsome stranger next to her. When the handsome stranger turned out to be the founder of the Panther Corporation, and he showed up at her workplace, Emma was mortified. But more humiliation was yet to come . . . . Even though you know from the start what will eventually happen, the path to the conclusion is pure delight. ( ) nbmars | Aug 31, 2023 | I don’t like books written in first person and the American hero uses decidedly British phrases. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one. Until I did. It sucked me in. From a wallflower-people pleaser, Emma looks death in the face and inadvertently spills all her secrets to a stranger on a plane. Except that stranger turns out to be her boss. He provides her an ego boost and backing to speak the truth, a formative moment, and she feels empowered. Until all her secrets are broadcast on television and she is utterly humiliated. Out of her humiliation, Emma is transformed. Fabulous book. (  ) Karla.Brandenburg | Aug 1, 2023 | ) Tambaloosa25 | Jun 19, 2023 |
 Emma (± 21) werkt in Londen als marketing-assistente bij Panther NV, wat haar familie te min vindt, zodat ze haar werk aandikt. Ook tegen haar nieuwe vriend, de knappe maar saaie Connor, maakt ze dingen mooier. Als tijdens een zakenreisje haar vliegtuig in turbulentie terechtkomt, raakt ze in paniek en biecht haar onbekende buurman haar geheimen op. Bij aankomst is ze zo in de war dat ze Connors voorstel om samen te wonen accepteert. Haar biechtvader blijkt echter Jack, haar hoogste baas te zijn die alles heeft onthouden wat ze zei en belangstelling voor haar heeft. [...]. Van de Engelse financieel journaliste verschenen enkele bestsellers. Ook deze luchtige roman, die vooral werkende jonge vrouwen van ± 18 tot 32 zal aanspreken, leest lekker weg. Een herkenbaar verhaal, waarin heel veel in hoog tempo gebeurt, met vaak komische misverstanden, romantiek en veel Engelse humor. Belongs to Publisher SeriesDwarsliggers (56) Distinctions
