A new, sexy standalone novel from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.
Terminated for inappropriate behavior.
I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.
Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba.

Hurray to Keeland for writing yet another story of a rich hero and the poor-but-feisty-heroine (who’s quirky and rude but totally gets away with it because she’s adorbs)! 😬😬
This book is going to blow you away! Funny, sexy, **emotional**. I think it's my new Vi favorite.

My favorite thing about Vi Keeland’s books is that they always have that steamy and romantic element, but under all that the characters have depth and there is always some kind of emotional undertone. Plus, they’re always amazing to listen to in audio. Inappropriate was no exception. This audiobook was narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, two of my favorites and they both did a fantastic job.

The heroine gets topless and drunk during a holiday she goes on with her girl friends. Then, a friend posts the video of her on Instagram and tags her. Her boss sees it and she loses her job for indecent exposure. Then, she writes a very rude and insulting e-mail to the owner of the company while drunk. Here it is:
Dear Mr. Jong-un,
I’d like to formally apologize for my minor indiscretion. You see, I hadn’t realized I worked for a dictator. I was under the impression that I had the right to do ...more

Vi & Penelope are the masters of book covers!! Jeez!
Ireland was just fired from her TV News job because of some stupid private video one of her friends posted on her private social media account!
All enraged and angry - and drunk - she sends an email to her boss's boss's boss to tell him what a horrible company he's running.
Grant - said über-boss - is very amused by that email.
And he's very intrigued and interested once he meets Ireland .....

Overall Opinion: This was a cute book. It felt a little like two different books if I'm completely honest though. We had the boss' boss' boss and the employee story and then the damaged man with a tragic past and the woman he can't forget. I felt as though there was a disconnect between the two. I was confused that there was never any issue with the fact that he was her superior and it's like her job was discussed a lot to begin with and a huge part of her life, but then was never discus ...more

I didn't like it a bit. The starting was good but then it went downhill. I am kind of tired of the main male protagonist still not over for his ex type shit. Besides this book takes it to another level. The ex was only mentioned. We see her through the main guy's point of view. She has a mental disorder and this book handles it poorly. I didn't find anything unique about the female protagonist. She got pregnant, the guy loses his mind because his ex drowned their baby before. He takes time to ge

Ireland and Grant meet when some topless pictures of her get posted on social media and she gets terminated. Not one for letting that stand, she writes a drunken email to the CEO. Luckily, he finds Ireland's bravado quite refreshing and rehires her.
And the more he's around her, the more he wants to be around her. I loved seeing Grant flustered and to the lengths he went. However, as we find out more about his past, the darker things become.

Although I did like the connection and chemistry between the H/h ... There were some problematic themes.
Inappropriate vilifies mental illness and offers easy and irresponsible solutions to a complicated plot. Also, the story begins with a debate of what is inappropriate in the workplace, and brings up themes of unequal pay and sexual harassment to never bring it up again as the hero and heroine fall for each other. Never mind that he is her boss...

This book was very funny and very emotional. I loved the connection between these two. Grant and Ireland meet because of an inappropriate situation. Ireland is feisty with no filters. Grant seems to be turned on. Grants past has made him bitter. But with Ireland in his life he has away out of his past
4.5 INAPPROPRIATE stars
This starts of like your typical office romance: an employment termination letter and a drunk "fuck-you-and-your-company" email sent to the CEO of the company .
Obviously this grabbed the attention of above mentioned hot, handsome and sexy af Grant which starts a flirty and cute game between him and Ireland.
Usually this type of books are light, sexy reads but the second part of this one had so much more feeling to it.

I just love how easy it is for me to immerse myself in Vi Keeland's stories! She makes it almost impossible not to fall in love with her characters, and her books always manage to make me laugh, feel the heartache, but also the passion and chemistry between her characters.
Inappropriate is a heartwarming read about love after tragedy, that had me hooked from beginning to end. It's about how a big-shot CEO (a guy named Grant) and one of his employees (news anchor Ireland) unexpected ...more

Grant and Ireland are my new favorite couple. With every book that Vi Keeland writes, I find a new man to fall in love with, and a new woman I want to be my sister and very best friend. I adored this story, just like I have with every story that comes from this woman. She never disappoints, and is one of my go-to authors that I know without a doubt will hit it out of the park.

So the heroine was topless and drunk in a bachelorette party. Someone clicked the videos and her company fires her due to such exposure. And then she drunk writes a letter to the CEO of the company and insults him.
I’m not the fan of the heroine here.
She doesn’t mind that her friend tagged her in such video. She only minds that her company got access to it.
Such kind of nude behaviour is not my thing (I repeat NOT MY THING. Personal preference).

Vi Keeland does an amazing job of writing stories that take you from a "workplace romance" to a story that touches on subjects that are deep, thought-provoking and at times heartbreaking. In Inappropriate we are introduced to characters that are intelligent, ambitious and hard-working.

Vi Keeland does it again. I could not get enough of this story. I was mesmerized by it all...did I see where the road was heading? Yes. Did it take away from the story? No. Absolutely NOT. She has mastered the formula of a story going one way and then BAM, u-turn in to Keeland-Ville and I love every fucking second of it. Heart, heat, banter, laughs, this story, like all of her others has it all. I completely devoured Inappropriate and felt it in my heart and soul. Totally loved it. GAH. Thank yo

I didn’t like this book at all, I felt that Grant and Ireland had zero chemistry, it somehow felt forced almost. Dialogue between them was often lame. I am disappointed that it didn’t work out for me.

“Most people think a beautiful woman doesn’t have to work as hard to get what she wants. And that might be true when she’s at a bar trying to get a drink, or when she’s in Home Depot trying to find someone to help her down the plumbing aisle. But it’s not true in the workplace. A beautiful woman often has to work twice as hard to be seen for who she is here. Because, unfortunately, there are still men out there who can’t see past beauty.”
