Their relationship develops sexually but becomes emotionally involved as they get to know each other. Rachel’s strategy of having Chandler become Finn’s ghostwriter for his memoir while also being a mentor for him worked incredibly well. While their steamy moments were used for their seeks and pleasures, their time outside of that was used to get to know each other. Chandler was never just a ghostwriter for Finn, and we see it in their every day interactions. While Finn is telling Chandler about himself for the sake of his book, he also becomes closer to her in general, naturally conveying personal information that came easily for him to tell her. What starts off as a weary professional relationship turns into a friendship between colleagues. They hang on on many occasions, where they have close proximity that is both voluntary and necessary. There’s those little moments that also show how the two become getting emotionally attached and attracted towards each other on a romantic level. Even if we don’t get Finn’s point of view, we get glimpses of him through Chandler’s lens, ranging from things he does to things he says to his physical expressions.At the same dat, her agent arranges an appointment with C-List actor Finn Walsh best known for playing sweet nerdy gut on a cult classic werewolf series Nocturnals. It’s well paid job and Finn is at town for attending Comic-Con. She can meet him in person and his agent. Chandler’s and Finn’s first hook-up turns out to be a disaster, at least for Chandler, and when they meet again, Chandler tells Finn the sex wasn’t as good as he thought it was. So she suggests they practice, and she even makes a plan. They kiss and they talk, they explore each other’s bodies and tell each other what they like, and they have sex and still communicate. I think this could be a fictional self-help book for everyone who needs to learn something about a healthy sex life 😂! She’s also adrift after being let down by her friend/crush and is constantly worrying about her older parents. Only Rachel Lynn Solomon could make a story about giving sex lessons to a celebrity feel this grounded and realistic. Chandler and Finn are equal parts smart and funny, charming and generous, thoughtful and endearing. Rachel takes the kind of risks that make romance as a genre so special and rewarding to read.” —Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate I can always count on Rachel Lynn Solomon to deliver rapid-fire dialogue, intense chemistry, and lived-in yet fresh characters that feel like your oldest friends. Business or Pleasure is delightfully addictive and downright red-hot spicy!" - Amy Lea

Chandler’s struggles to take a risk with her career were understandable and yet they didn’t really grab me. But when all their tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten. When Chandler finally revealed to Finn that he was far from excellent in bed, Finn didn’t have an out burst or blame his poor performance on Chandler, like some men would. Despite being embarrassed, Finn was eager to learn from Chandler in both an educational and romantic way. The reason their arrangement worked so well is because they had mutual respect and obvious chemistry. The prominent sex positivity was an incredible addition to these lessons as well. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction.This is my third book by RLS, the first one was a miss for me 😬, the second one worked better & this one falls somewhere between the two. A tender, hilarious, and heartfelt love story you'll read in one sitting!' Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author of IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER
