I’m loving these Entangled novellas and now they launched a new line with only fast and sweet romances. This was my first read and I loved meeting Meredith and Andrew. They are completely different people and work together, but we can clearly see that there’s more between those two than just working space. This was such a sad story, but they made it work really well. Meredith needed to let a little and enjoy life, so Andrew was perfect to introduce her into this new world and he was very understand about her pace.

Falling for the CEO is a sweet, romantic story about a smart and clumsy woman falling for her boss. Meredith is naturally beautiful but she hides her looks behind unattractive glasses, frumpy clothes and a severe hairstyle. Andrew, her boss, has always thought that there was more to Meredith underneath the frumpiness but because he’s her boss, he wouldn’t cross that line. When Andrew asks Meredith to accompany him to an event, he realizes that he was right about there being more to Meredith than meets the eye.

I really liked Meredith and Andrew a lot. We learn a little about Meredith’s past and she didn’t have it easy. She’s not used to having anything for herself. Andrew is sweet and sexy and a gentleman. He realizes that Meredith deserves so much more than what she asks for.

The story ends with a Happy For Now. Meredith is smart, awkward, clumsy and completely likable. Andrew is a sexy, sweet and giving person. These two work well together and I really enjoyed their story.

A quick, easy read to pass an hour. I liked both Meredith and Andrew but there was nothing new about this story. I’m not a big fan of the awkward, klutzy, don’t-know-I’m-attractive heroine.

Andrew was a really sweet, beta hero. It was refreshing to read a high powered CEO who isn’t an alpha jerk. Small thing, but there’s a scene where Meredith accidentally breaks her glasses the night before the big gala. I was about to roll my eyes at the contrived way she was going to be de-nerded. But thankfully, the scene ends with Meredith having to wear a new pair of cuter glasses that she bought but never wore. Thank you Audra North for not giving the impression that glasses are not sexy or attractive. I’m not a big fan of the virginal “ugly duckling” story line. That being said, this was better than I normally see and Meredith quickly finds her confidence.

The first thing I noticed about this book was the names of the characters. We have Ms. Klaus and the Santa CEO. It seemed a bit cheesey at first, but even the characters make light of it in the story, which made it awesome instead. I really liked Meredith and her adorable awkwardness. She was so far from perfect, being clumsy and introverted, that you can't help but love her. Andrew really is everything that you could ask for in a guy - he was too perfect. I kept trying to find the flaw that would make him more human, but I just couldn't find it. The story was cute and a perfect Christmas pick me up story. With a half million dollar financial crisis hovering the background the whole time, there is just enough conflict to keep it from getting too sappy. The ending was spot on perfect. I loved the way it tied up everything.

Definitely could have been longer--the ending takes us to a spot in their relationship, but not quite a HEA. H/h will show up in the other series novellas, though, so there is that. A short and sweet Cinderella-type story with an endearingly awkward financial wiz heroine.
