Going Public

Written by Hudson Lin

Narrated by Tyler Tetsuda

A boss.
His employee.
And a scandal that's about to change everything …

As an operating partner at Jade Harbour, Raymond Chao prides himself on fixing even the most disastrous of portfolio companies—no matter the cost. While his colleagues might not always like his methods, they love his results. But his latest
business partner isn’t cooperating, and what’s worse, Raymond’s underhanded tactics might just land him in hot water with the law.

Elvin Goh has been Raymond’s assistant for years, and he’s been in love with the charming, ruthless playboy for just as long. There’s very little that Elvin won’t do—or hasn’t done—for Raymond. Impossible crush aside, it’s his job. But this time, even Elvin can’t see a way out.

When long nights at work lead to whispered confessions and a newfound intimacy, it seems like a dream come true—for both of them. But with the prospect of failure on the horizon, can this dream team beat the odds and come out the victors in the office and in their hearts?

Danny seemed to jump from one bad decision to the next. I wanted things to work out for him. I liked hearing Tobin much better after the first few chapters.

While I love the fact we have 2 Asian queer men in a queer romance, I still wanted more. Something was missing

Personal assistant Elvin is in love with his boss, Raymond. Even though Elvin knows nothing can come of it. When Raymond investigates a business his company has acquired, he suspects that something isn't right. With Elvin at his side, he uncovers some dangerous truths. Can Raymond extract his company from the situation and keep Elvin safe?

This is a well-written, intriguing romantic suspense. I loved the characters and the chemistry between them. The plot is full of unexpected twists.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I didn't think at first that I was going to like the book as well as the first one in the series. Then Ray, Elvin and Ming are sent to take account of a paper company Jade Harbor owns and things begin to pick up. I didn't especially like Ming. He was conniving and underhanded always hitting on Elvin when he knew how Elvin felt about Ray. Maybe because the author and the characters are from a different culture than myself, but it was difficult for me to understand Elvin feeling that he "owed" his family the amount of concern and time, running to meet their every demand to satisfy their every whim. Also, another difference that I didn't quite get. Canadian laws are probably different that those of the U.S., but I didn't see that Ray had done anything wrong with his decision of how to protect his employer. At least not to the degree that was levied. The punishment didn't fit the crime...even if there even was a crime to begin with. I really liked, and had high hopes for Ray and Elvin's budding relationship. Elvin was perfect for Ray. He understood where Ray was coming from all the time, and his desire to put Ray first in his life made him a wonderfully sweet man. It's an intriguing M/M romantic suspense novel. The plot is full of unexpected twists and turns. More than enough to keep you reading.
