While there are numerous tropes within the romance genre, office love stories have gained immense popularity. They showcase strong, powerful, and wealthy men and women who harness their ruthlessness and turn it around for good. One of the most iconic examples would be the infamous Fifty Shades of Grey.
It would be sexist to say that men are always the ones in power. Many female characters have been given high-ranking positions within the office and wield their authority in their own right.
Gender discussions aside, office romances focus on the chemistry two people can develop while working together. Business crises, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcy… Well, the problems are numerous. But the protagonists work hand in hand to resolve them, along with falling in love.
Let’s organize our papers and memos to look at some amazing office romance books.
