Audio narrator Jake Whalley was everything - his voicing and comedic timing were superb, I hope to hear a lot more from him. He gets there in the end and he’s totally worth it. He has a habit of making wrong assumptions and being stubbornly unwilling to communicate to clear up his misunderstandings. He’s witty and sharp, organised and good at his job, yet surprisingly clueless about Tristan’s or other’s feelings for him. Dominic is also an amusing contradiction. Rather than the stereotypical masterful or commanding boss, he’s warm, genial, and reasonable without an aggressive bone in his body. I loved this quintessentially British office romcom - there were plenty of laughs and snark and two great leads! Tristan isn’t what you’d expect of a CEO. Confusingly for Dominic, his best efforts to be rude and surly are met with unfailing thoughtfulness and respect, and when he tries to find temps to replace himself, none of them seem to be the person Tristan is looking for. That is, until Tristan’s PA is hospitalised and Tristan specifically requests Dominic as temporary replacement. Tristan Maxwell may be gorgeous, pleasant and a successful CEO, but Dominic knows better and thanks his lucky stars he’s not Tristan’s PA. Thoroughly amusing British office romcom! He may just have to revise everything he previously thought and believed in for a chance at love. One thing's for sure, if Tristan sets his sights on Dominic, there's no way Dominic has the necessary armor or willpower to keep a force of nature like Tristan at bay for long, no matter how unprofessional a relationship with the boss might be. Hatred turns to tolerance, tolerance to friendship, and friendship to mutual passion. A late-night rescue leading to a drunken pass only complicates matters further, especially with the discovery that Tristan is both straight and engaged.

The man is infuriatingly unflappable, infuriatingly good-humored, and infuriatingly unorthodox. It's lucky then that the man's easy enough to avoid.ĭisaster strikes when Dominic finds himself having to work in close proximity as Tristan's P.A. Unlike most of the workforce, he can see through the pretty facade to the arrogant, self-entitled asshole below. The man may be the walking epitome of gorgeousness dressed up in a designer suit. Funny then that he harbors such unprofessional feelings toward Tristan Maxwell, the CEO of the company. Personal assistant Dominic is a consummate professional.
