Jamaica Layne writes a steamy, sticky, and ultimately sweaty good read. Market for Love is a quick little contemporary that was fun to devour. This novel was a smooth read and wonderfully well-executed! Layne sucks you in and doesn’t let go until the last page.

Miranda Johansson’s day is completely tanked from the get go the moment her stock portfolio takes a nosedive. In one fell swoop she has managed to lose 87 million dollars of her clients’ money. Dreading writing up and sending her necessary First-Call bulletin, Miranda dips out of the office for some desperately needed caffeine in the form of three double-espressos.

When the Rastafarian behind the counter insults her looks, Miranda snaps out a petty retort and gets caught. Who catches her at the height of her bad manners but Mister Drop Dead Gorgeous. Mortified Miranda ducks into the bathroom and sees the damage the young man with purple hair had tried to inform her about. Some very expensive eyeliner and mascara did not live up to their hype of being waterproofed.

Facing Mister DDG again in the lobby, he whips her up into a posh office he has access to and offers her the fully stocked bathroom to clean up. Miranda accepts and gets to work restoring her destroyed appearance and frayed nerves. Meeting DDG again in the main part of the office Miranda spills her story to his compassionate ears including her fears of getting fired. His response to this deluge of woeful news is to tell her to try to earn some of it back for her clients before the end of the day and surely her boss will not see the need to fire her.

Helpful on top of be DDG is all it takes for Miranda to give into the quidgy feeling that’s been bubbling in her tummy since the moment she laid eyes on him. One kiss turns into another and another and kisses lead to mind-blowing orgasms for both parties. Surprised at her own behavior Miranda fights the glow and gets the hell out of the office, stopping only long enough to exchange names.

He said his name was Max. He ended up being Maxwell Moore Junior, a corporate financial muckety-muck and her new boss. Completely horrified that she’d just slept with her boss Miranda is formulating resumes in her head until Maxwell calls a meeting of all the top executives. Of course this news comes just after she started her period and to make matters worse she was unprepared for the early arrival. How could a bad day get any worse? Since hiding out in the bathroom wasn’t going to work Miranda shores up her resolve and some toilet paper and heads up to meeting.

From spying ex-girlfriends to hostile corporate machinations to seriously distracting mind-blowing sex Miranda and Max are in for a whirlwind affair and a lot of news coverage. Will they manage to escape with their reputations relatively unscathed? Will their hearts take the beating of ugly public accusations? Will their phobias keep them from loving each other? Read and find out!
