The romance in Going Public by Hudson Lin is like going to a hot springs and you have to go in a toe at a time to get in but once you're in it's ecstasy.   Elvin is the personal assistant to Ray in the cutthroat corporate world of business.  Ray, wealthy in his own right, works his butt off taking companies public.  He has to do complete audits of the corporations to ensure any ghosts in their cleaning closets stay hidden or find somewhere else to haunt.  Elvin helps him with not just the business audits but also makes his breakfast, sends Ray’s one-night stands on their way, and deflects unwanted coworkers. Elvin has secretly had a crush on Ray for quite some time.  Ray has basically been sleeping with everyone he could.  Ray starts having feelings for Elvin, but how can that possibly work when there is not just a great power difference at work but also a wealth gap.  The steam building up in their desire to be together is a freight train that can’t be stopped.  Love seeps off the pages due to the beautiful writing that can express the yearning and empathy Ray and Elvin have for each other.  I loved that the newest company they were taking public created a moral dilemma to which Ray and Elvin didn’t agree.  Workplace romances create an extra tension that wasn’t ignored in their relationship.  The sex scenes fit with the development of Ray and Elvin’s relationship which makes them all the better.  The sex scenes are very descriptive and extra spicy though!  Overall this is a wonderful story and a great example of a loving relationship.
