GRR Reviews Easy Love by Kristen Proby

Eli runs Bayou Enterprises, a family business that had been in the family for generations. He's a playboy, but he treats his employees well and rewards loyalty. But someone on the inside is stealing from the company. Small amounts here and there, adds up to 100K a year. There seems to be no pattern to them. Desperate to find answers, they hired the undercover auditor, Kate, who specializes in this sort of corporate espionage... She'll "hire on" as the new PA or secretary, hear all the gossip, and investigate everything from the inside. However, Kate found herself falling for Eli, with his southern charm, and Eli found himself falling for Kate, despite warning from his brother, whom kate went to school with way back when. Both knew this couldn't last. When she found the culprit, that'll be the end...

There's a twist, but it wasn't handled that well, IMHO. But it's competent. The problem is there just wasn't much tension till the end. The two lines didn't intersect until near the very end. And the clue was practically dropped in her lap... and she ignored it. Argh. If the two plots meshed better I would have given a better score.
