About the author

Jae is the author of twenty-three award-winning lesbian romances. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.
She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.
When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of lesbian books, indulges her ice cream and stationery addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

F/F romance
Well, I liked pieces of it. The opening 20-30% or so was very amusing and had me the most engaged. There is a bit of a goofy and childish tone to the whole story, actually. I'm not sure if I mean that in a bad way, lol... but I have to be in a certain mood to appreciate this kind of lesfic. I associate Jae's style with innocence and virgins and unicorns and rainbows and there's a certain audience for that. Overall, I found this to be lighthearted fluff that veered into junior high dynamics.
So it's not surprising this one is set at the company Kudos Entertainment, a Fortune 500 company that produces toys for children, lol. All the employees gossip worse than junior high and they fear and despise second-in-command Ms. Dee Saunders like an evil headmistress who paddles their behind.
Enter Austen Brooks, the new administrative assistant to Dee's brother, first-in-charge. Austen doesn't know Dee at all and is soon involved in a Christmas tree mishap that has them both spending a long night together in the ER. Austen isn't bright enough not to badmouth this crazy boss lady Ms. Saunders she's already heard so much about, and Dee isn't professional enough to come clean with her actual identity.... because she's rather enjoying bossy little Austen's company and caretaking. So they bond under this 'sin of omission' and then the book goes on forever and ever trying to resolve this conflict until it's a mere nub. ack. There are cute parts and the book does move on from the initial conflict, but at nearly 400 pages, you could easily cut 100+ pages out of this book and nothing would be missed. It was much too long.
I actually enjoy most simple, easy-reading lesfic... but struggled to like or even believe in these characters (as well as their attraction). They're just not very grown up. Dee is not very boss-like. I don't think we ever got much evidence to justify her "Attila" rep. And Austen is like a bossy little girl dragging Dee around by the nose. They seem more like two dweebs who work in a pet store. Throw in Dee's man-centered sexist family and she seems that much more like a child.
meh. I think this would have been more interesting if the author just ran with the toy company and juvenile characterizations and *consciously* gave us a dose of the likes of Big (the movie)... because adults who behave like children in a company that produces toys had a lot more potential for humor here.
I was mildly engaged.
Even though we're not being wowed by anything new here, there is something about Jae's writing that just feels good, when she hits the mark. This story is very light, and very basic. It's funny, kind of sexy, and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling. The ending was abrupt to me, with all the issues the characters faced culminating all at once and then the resolution, and then the end. A little rushed in my opinion. You'll get maybe 2 or 3 love scenes, and some laughs. If you're looking for a nice rainy day book to pass the time, or just something easy pick this one up if you can live with the price. Not bad at all.
Love it and definitely recommend! Getting the next book as well.

Jae writing once again was done beautifully. Great story and actually a lot of fun to read! Jae has a way of drawing you into the story and making you feel like your living it. The main protagonists Austen and Dee where realistic and true to what I imagine would be a difficult situation.
One scene I felt could have had a little more was when Austen and Dee are in the office late one night working... I felt that it had the potential of being a rather sexy scene but I wasn't to upset because it was still written beautifully and the characters had a heart felt moment.
I'll need to download Jae’s other novel conflict of interest as the main protagonists from that novel play a cameo role in under a falling star. Under a falling star is a stand-alone novel but it would be beneficial to read Conflict of interest first and let be honest it’s no hard ship to read something else by Jae.
4 stars
I always enjoy Jae books. Even if her stories are varied, they all have a je ne sais quoi in common. It must be the author's personality seeping through, which has me more than a little smitten. Being French-Canadian, I am also impressed by her mastery of English, her second language. The team at Ylva should be commended for the excellent editing.
家族経営的な会社で社員の嫌われ者の役員と新しく入社したアシスタントが、ふとした事故をきっかけに交流を持つようになります。やがて二人ともお互いを意識するようになり。。。役員の女性は仕事一筋だったため、深い付き合いをした経験がありません。好きな相手の為なら社員を解雇してしまうほど一生懸命になってしまう等、かわいい一面もあります。アシスタントの女性は常識的で気が利くタイプ。ところが叔父であるCEOが交際禁止令をだし。。。普通の恋愛小説なのですが、結構はまりました。
話の半ばまでとある理由で先がどんどん読みたくなるはずです。ネタバレになるので言わないでおきますが。
この本、映画にしたら面白いだろうなあと思います。スピンオフストーリーもあるし(Conflict of Interest, Next of Kin) 合計3本は制作出来ます!
Once i started I couldn’t put it down and its 3am already!
Highly recommended! Grab your copy!
