Off The Clock
"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different.
Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways.
Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever."
******
At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy.
At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed.
But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him.
She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process.

Great job! I love the twists and intensity so much I couldn't put it down. I have never found a book to keep my interest like that. [img=update][img=recommend]
At the beginning of few chapters, the thought process of the author is all over the place. But as it progresses it improves as well as the cahracter development. I believe it will get the attention it deserves if the update is regular. Personally, i’m hooked with it. So, author-san, please continue writing to complete this book.
The most important think for the reader is to love what they read and I love this story. But what makes it most different from other book is that I can relate myself to Ruth which makes it more interesting. So, thank you dear author for writing such an amazing story and please continue writing to complete this book. P.S- I'd really love if there will be separate story of Leo and Sairey #Leorey

This is an amazing book. I love the imperfections in each of the characters and their relatable actions and reactions. I also love how the first few chapters are only focused on main characters and rest of the characters are slowly incorporated into the story line so it doesn't get overwhelming. Honestly, I cannot believe it's writer's first ever story. kuddos for the plot!
I'm still at the beginning of this book but I can already tell it'll be a great read! The story might go slow at times but it takes an unexpected turn just when you least expect it. Highly recommend it!
This story keeps getting interesting as we read! The beginning is entertaining and engaging. I am excited to read this story. Just one request to author, please update more frequently. The wait for new chapter is nearly unbearable. Thank God I am starting so late and have some catching up to do. But good job author!
Such an interesting concept! the same old office romance feels fresh when written with like this! The characters seem quirky and layered. I just can't wait to un-layer them. Great job on writing. Can't believe this is your first novel♥️♥️
