Series Spotlight and Reviews: The Intern Series by Brooke Cumberland

Thursday, August 21, 2014




She’s sexy, fierce, and a loud-mouthed know-it-all…and she’s completely off limits.

Cecilia isn’t your typical college student. Hell, she isn’t a college student at all, but that doesn’t stop her from applying for one of the biggest and prestigious enterprises in the Midwest.

She wants it. She takes it.
She doesn’t let anything get in her way when it comes to finding out the truth.

When Bentley Leighton, soon-to-be CEO of Leighton Enterprises, meets “Ceci,” he’s instantly impressed. He doesn’t have time to train a new intern. However, when he sees her that first day, his intentions begin to change.

He’s the boss. She’s the intern.
Nothing can happen. It’s against the company rules.

Then again, some rules were made to be broken.

What starts as innocent flirting becomes raveled up into so much more—secrets, lies, deceit.






I knew coming into reading The Intern that is was going to be hot, but what I never expected was for the heat to radiate out of my Kindle.

We got to meet Cecilia aka Ceci, a master manipulator and con artist. Ceci is looking for answers to a tragic incident that happened in the past, and the one way she knows is to get her foot in the door at Leighton Enterprise as an intern.

Then there is Bentley Leighton, the hot, priveleged, a bit pompus, did I mention he's HOT, future CEO. He quite frankly wanted no part in interviewing interns, let alone training them, but he had to.

What they both weren't expected was the primal sexual attraction and instant chemistry. The sexual tension started out as a small brush fire and turned into a blazing inferno. The playful banter, made me laugh, suggestive looks and sexual innuendos drove me completely insane (in a good way). 

There was only one negative thing... it ended.

I kept tapping the side of my Kindle looking for more words, more pages but none appeared. Guess I will be waiting for volume 2 impatiently.





My cock noticed her before I did.
She came out of nowhere.
Completely unexpected.

And I let her in…unwillingly.
But she gave me no choice.
She sledgehammered my thick walls, leaving me charmed by her knowledge, and seduced by her beauty.

I was captivated.

And now…it was about to tumble down in a tsunami of lies.
Uncertainty riveted my core as my anger spread…she was impossible to forget.
After all, she was still my intern.

Forbidden.
Lust.
Betrayal.


I felt all of those things for her at once. But only one would destroy us.






First of all if you have not read The Intern Volume One run don't walk to your nearest e-retailer and 1-click that bad boy NOW!! You don't want to read volume two without reading the first volume first or else you will be completely lost. Not to mention you are missing plenty of Bentley hotness. 

Okay moving on!

The Intern Volume Two picks up right where Volume One left off. If you thought Bentley couldn't get any hotter you are wrong! We get to see Bentley in alpha mode...

***Changes panties***

Yeah it was hot to say the least. 

Ceci and Bentley are trying to learn to walk the fine line of their relationship. Bentley torn between his growing feelings and sense of mistrust and Ceci struggling to juggle her feelings and trying to stick to her goal of unraveling what happened to her dad.

Then in typical Brooke fashion she drops a bomb on us leaving us speechless, shocked and begging for more.

In the end this book was more than I expected and so much more. If you want hot a hot, melt your panties read then read this series!!!

I give The Intern Volume Two 5++++ Kisses. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see what Brooke has for us in The Intern Volume Three.






I should’ve known.
I should’ve listened to my gut.
But I didn’t.
I listened with the wrong head.
And where did it get me?

Secrets.
Lies.
Deceit.

She embodied them all.
Deceived her way into my company.
Lied about who she was.
Kept secrets from me after convincing me I could trust her.

Those walls she tore down are back up in full force.

Cold.
Angry.
Unforgiving.

She was no longer my intern.
She was no longer mine.




***Taps the screen on her Kindle and cries***

I patiently waited for this book to make it's way onto my Kindle. Okay, that was a lie. I wasn't patient at all. I was very impatient and I am not ashamed to say it. Brooke had me completely wrapped up in the world of Bentley and Ceci. I craved more and Brooke catered to my addiction.

The Intern: Volume 3 picks up right where Volume 2 left off. Bentley is pissed, I mean like Incredible Hulk pissed.

He just found out that everything he believed was a complete lie. Ceci knows she messed up and she wants to apologize to give them both the closure they need to move on with their lives. Only Bentley being his awesome self decided to continue to help her learn more about her dad's murder. 

If I didn't love Bentley before let me tell you her won me over here.

He's Mine! You Can't Have Him!

Okay, now that I cleared that up let me continue.

Years come and go and both Ceci and Bentley try to move on... the keyword is try. One night Ceci is dragged to kick boxing class where she and Bentley come face to face again. The electric energy still flows like crazy between them, their sexual tension is off the charts. There is only one problem. Ceci has a boyfriend.

Bentley is determined not to lose Ceci again. He loves her. He needs her in his life. So he does what any desperate man would do... he plays the "Let's be friends" card and Ceci falls for it hook, line and sinker. They start spending lots of time together. Both of them fighting their attraction. The sexual tension between them was hot and soon it combusted and they were all over each other. Ceci leave and Bentley feels as if his world could come crashing around him again. I screamed at my Kindle more than a few times trying to make Ceci understand she needs to be with Bentley. Let's face it they were meant to be together.

Bentley is by Ceci's side when she finally finds out the truth behind he dad's murder. It was so sad and was something I did not expect. It was so sad. Just finding out what was in the lock box had me crying like a baby.

No, I will not give you anymore information about this book you have to read this AMAZING series yourself to find out. Will Ceci and Bentley get their happily ever after? Will Ceci get closure on her father's murder? 1-Click The Intern: Volume 3 to find out all these answers and more.

Brooke did an amazing job a twisting a few story lines into on book, each given the attention it needed to make The Intern: Volume 3 an epic end to a wonderful series.
