THE BARGAIN is the first book in the Executive Suite Secrets series, and we begin with Sebastian and Byron. Sebastian is the golden retriever in the relationship and, although his heart is in the right place, is too used to throwing money at a problem to make it go away. Byron is the black cat and is too used to standing on his own two feet without anyone by his side. Both of them have liked each other since they started working together, but the company policy clearly states no fraternising. You can see where this is going, can't you!

Mostly low angst, this was a great read with some hilarious moments. It wasn't all fun and games, though, as the difficulties Byron faced are real to far too many others. When the sh!t hit the fan, both Sebastian and Byron reacted in the ways I thought they would, but I still enjoyed reading about it.

One thing I will say is that although the counterpoint to the billionaire trope is usually someone who isn't well off, I liked how it was handled here. Byron had a well-paid job and would certainly have lived within his means if he hadn't had the responsibility of his brother and mother. It made for a good read to see someone who had a well-paid job but still couldn't afford everything and the reasons why, rather than just someone who was 'poor'.

I'm hoping Declan gets a story, but I'm guessing that Pierce and Simon may be next. Whoever it is, I'm here to read it. Definitely recommended by me.

** Same worded review will appear elsewhere. **

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *
