An enjoyable debut novel from Isabella Rae. It was a nice change of pace to read a story that does not focus on the troubled pasts or dark secrets looming over the couple. The biggest obstacle this couple faces is their working relationship and geography.
Victoria Bryant is a beautiful, strong willed and hard working woman who is loyal to her best friends Sage and Nick. Victoria has been making the arrangements for the arrival of the owner of United Real Estate Investments but she hasn’t paid much attention to all of the chatter about Leland Ambrose.
Leland Ambrose is a rich, unattached and strikingly handsome executive. He is in Atlanta to conduct business, but when he sets his sights on a brunette singing karaoke he decides there may be some pleasure involved in this trip too.
The relationship between Victoria and Leland starts as a working relationship but quickly escalates to more. Who knew that a cry for “HELP” would result in a new wardrobe, toe curling kisses and steamy sex.
But every love story has to have a few bumps in the road. Victoria is painfully aware that she is falling for Leland but is also conscious of the fact that “this” is just short term as he will be returning to his life in New York. Add that fact that Sage’s dreams have been put in jeopardy by Leland and the tempers will flair and the tears will fall.
Will Leland and Victoria find their happy ever after or will it just be “A Workplace Affair”? Go grab your copy now and find out for yourself. Then get ready for Sage and Connor’s story, “A Sweet Affair” coming soon.

* Review *
This is the second installment
in the Atlanta Series and what a great addition it is. This story focuses
on Sage and Connor, Victoria and Leland’s best friends. When we meet Sage
in A Workplace Affair, she abruptly appears on Victoria’s doorstep after her
husband leaving her. But we come to discover throughout the story that
Sage’s past is a little more complicated than just her husband cheating.
Sage is finally enjoying
some happiness with the help of Leland and Victoria. You can see that
Sage has started to open herself up to the idea of Connor. I mean who
wouldn’ t like a sexy, protective man who knows his way around a kitchen.
Connor too has been scarred
by a cheating spouse and so when they two of them begin their relationship they
are both guarded. Trusting another person is not a task to be taken
lightly. Will Connor and Sage be able to overcome their pasts and find a
future with one another?
Guess you are going to have
to go grab this book to find out. The story is a quick and enjoyable
read. Isabella throws a few twists and turns in to keep you
engaged. It is not required to have read A Workplace Affair but it would
help to familiarize you with the other characters in the story.
* Author Interview *
~ What
was your inspiration for the Atlanta Affair series?
Isabella:
Well, I live just south of Atlanta, so for me, that was an obvious setting.
Honestly my characters were the inspiration. All three main friends (Victoria,
Sage, and Nick) are all inspired by people in my life. I created all the
characters first and then let them create the stories.
What is your writing inspiration?
Isabella:
I guess you could say that my daughters are the reason I write. I’m trying to
make a better life for them. As far as for the books themselves I use
personalities I encounter as well as fantasies to inspire me.
What words of wisdom would you give to those wanting to get
into writing or just starting out?
Isabella:
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The indie author community is amazingly
supportive. I still have so much to learn, but they are all so willing to help.
I’m proud to be included in such an amazing group of people.
Who is your favorite author?
Isabella:
That’s a three way tie between Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, and
Iris Johansen
Do you plan to start a new book or series (anything outside of your current work)?
Isabella:
Of course I plan to write more after my Atlanta Affair Series, but right now I
am focused on “A Wedding Affair” the third book in my series, which will be
Nick and Piper’s story. There will be a total of five books in the series.
What would you die without?
Isabella:
My daughters
What is your favorite city you like to visit?
Isabella:
Out of the places I have been, probably New York
What place do you dream to visit?
Isabella:
Ireland, I traced my family back to County Donegal Ireland and would love to go
there.
What are you currently working on?
Isabella:
“A Wedding Affair” and plans for an untitled stand alone novel.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Isabella:
In 10 years I hope to be writing still without having to worry about working a
day job. I know most indie authors don’t get that luxury, but I can dream!
What is one thing that no one really knows about you?
Isabella:
That I am still technically married. We’ve been separated for 3 years, and
still trying to get the divorce.
Isabella Rae has been writing for over 10 years but never published because she was discouraged by the publishing process. Recently a friend of hers released a book through self-publishing and inspired Isabella to release her first book. When Isabella is not writing she is busy being a single mom to 2 beautiful girls, and works as a baker, and server at a local restaurant.
