Return to my hometown to work for my old crush for the summer? No problem.

Audrey
Kidding. It actually is a problem, especially because I’m pretty sure Jackson doesn’t want me working for him at all. Add in our awkward history, and our shared office just got a whole lot smaller.

Even though I’m the queen of screwing up, I’m determined to prove I have what it takes to do this job. Nothing is going to distract me. This heart is on lockdown, and I’ll maintain professionalism even if it kills me.

And with sparks flying between us like the Fourth of July, it just might.

Jackson
There are life’s little inconveniences—papercuts, roadwork, taxes—and then there’s Audrey Miller. My little sister’s best friend, and the bane of my existence due to her obvious and incessant childhood crush on me.

Now Audrey’s back and all grown up—and co-managing my restaurant and event venue.

I spent years avoiding her, but now that she’s my right-hand woman, I have no choice but to spend my days with her (and even some nights—don’t ask). But it doesn’t matter, because the only thing going on between us is business. At least that’s what I tell myself.

So why is the one woman I swore I would never want suddenly the only one I do?

A forced proximity, best-friend’s-brother, sweet workplace romance with will-they-or-won’t-they tension, hilarious awkwardness, and zero explicit content!

Working After All by Cece Louise is the love story of Audrey and Jackson during the summer in Halften, Wisconsin.

Will Audrey and Jackson stand to work next to each other during the summer?

Audrey Miller

Audrey Miller didn’t think she would be living in Halften again, let alone being there, well, summers and holidays once in a while. Yet, she is now taking over Tucker’s share of the business venture with Jackson so he can go on his honeymoon. Audrey is a sweet character who tries her best not to mess things up, and I like to think it’s not her fault. I like Audrey as she made me smile and laugh.

Jackson Crowe

Jackson Crowe is four years older than Audrey and didn’t appreciate her advances when they were younger. He isn’t quite sure about her. Her work ethic, though, is something that he admires, and how good she is at her job, since that makes him handle his a whole lot better. I like Jackson and how he grew from his post-college days to running a successful business with his best friend.

The Romance

Jackson and Audrey are cute together. I like how, during the summer, they both healed, and that working together was a great way to recover from what happened in the summer before she went off to college. It was great to see that they both could move past their previous issues.

Five Stars

My rating for Working After All by Cece Louise is five stars. I love Ms. Louise’s stories and how she always makes them funny. Ms. Louise is an excellent writer, and I love getting lost in the love stories of Halften, Wisconsin, along with seeing how the other couples are doing.
