GRR Reviews The Assistant's Christmas Wish by Lexi Ostrow

"The Assistant's Christmas Wish" just came across as a "secret crush on boss" seque into fairy tale when she's invited to the boss' family dinner. It's sweet, but that's nothing really special.

Lena had a crush on her boss Nick for 8 years, but he never seemed to recognize it. She was surprised when he invited her to his family Christmas dinner... for the whole week, as his fake girlfriend. She'll show him just how not fake this relationship is... Nick really liked Lena, but he's her boss and hitting on her wouldn't be right. But a whole week with Lena? Absolutely. But when Nick's brother Jake arrived, also with eyes on Lena, who's gonna end up with the girl?

The triangle is late, and the relationship, which felt really one-sided, just never quite congealed into a good yearning. It's sweet, but little if any heat. It's not bad, but it's not that good either.
