Day of Employment: 358 10:15 a.m. Location: Cubicles outside Canon's office. Co-workers: Betting on how long Canon's new PA will last. Me: No doubts. Ms. Gum-smacker won't last the day. I need to place my bet. Manolo Blahnik's New Fall Shoes: Mine. As soon as Madeline hands over my winnings. Emma Baker has never spoken a word to Alaric Canon, nor has he to her. But she's studied him every day across the office tundra for almost a year. Canon is hard and fierce, terrifying and beautiful. He's also the most stern, unforgiving person Emma has ever seen. Emma's co-workers run a betting pool for Canon's Personal Assistant terminations. There's a separate pot for the day one leaves without crying. Not likely...Canon made a former Navy SEAL cry. He has high standards and low tolerance. Everyone knows it. Everyone stays away. Everyone who can, that is. Except Emma. She can't look away. Alaric Canon is the single most attractive man she's ever seen. Bar none. Canon has never noticed her. Not once in almost a year. She's not even a blip on his radar. But she will be. His radar will be blipless no more. It is a goal. Emma has a plan… (more)

Such a fun cute read. Many LOL moments. Will read more from this author. (

Ive read this before, a few years back, in an online venue. The Plan was a fresh take on a common storyline: Girl likes hot, overbearing, arrogant boss. Tries to catch boss. Boss appears unaffected, until... You get it.

The inner musings were snappy, if not a bit abstract at times. The humor was definitely not linear, more the kind that makes you think...and think twice, taking the reader a minute to realize how funny it comes across. At times that made for speed-bump reading, e.g. stop! let me read that again. Very Sophie Kinsella-esque-Bridget Jones-hot-mess inner musings.

I can see how Qwen Salsbury's writing style was a common complaint with reviewers but it worked for me. I love this kind of humor and felt it was rather fitting for a book written mostly from the internal dialog of the main character.

Fun chick-lit and quick read. 3.5/5 stars. (

Ok, I have to admit I was wrong about this one. I initially DNF'd it and was only mildly interested in Canon. Today, I started it over thinking it was a different title and I couldn't put it down. I was able to get passed that irritating story in my head narrative and actually get into the story. There were still some weak points and I really needed an epilogue to get me up another star. I was able to laugh and feel and enjoy. (
