His job has become the thing that he hides behind instead of processing the experiences of his past.
She holds an emotional maturity as a therapist that allows her to process her situation (a cheating ex-fiance, the need for a new place to live, a new job) more meaningfully than Merrick, who we find throughout the story has erected a steel wall to protect against his emotions. By the way, this is a norm of Keeland’s workplace romances.Īs The Boss Project evolves, though, we find out quickly that Evie is really more put together than Merrick. The next time, it’s in front of his desk where he presents a fairly smug and callous version of himself.
She encounters Merrick the first time, half undressed in a fitting room. Evie begins this story in a complete wreck, jumping from interview to interview hoping someone will take a chance on her. And it’s a ruse, a humorous turn that inevitably moves into deeper, darker issues that pull at your emotional heartstrings. It’s her hook, the manna offering of her romances. In an innocuous beginning, Keeland entices her readers into her stories usually with heroines in a dither and heroes in control of themselves. “‘I, uh, was eating cherries.” And so begins Vi Keeland’s delectable The Boss Project. “But you can’t appreciate the beauty in someone without seeing the ugly.”
