Broken Boundaries
A new office romance standalone…
Two things I love are the company I built from the ground up and women, and not particularly in that order.
When I see something I want, I get it, whether it’s a new client or a wild night in the sack.
Women flock to my stock, and ladies, that’s not all they enjoy.
I’m not labeled as one of Denver’s top playboys for nothing.
I’m damn good-looking, my pockets are deep, and my “endowments” leave women begging for more.
Two rules I live by:
* Don’t mix business with pleasure.
* Never, ever date an employee.
I thought I had it all in check until Zoey Campbell started working for me.
All my rules? Disintegrated.
Because rules are meant to be broken.
And great sex is meant to be had.
Easton Langley is a manwhore.
I knew his reputation before I applied for the job.
But none of the rumors about him mattered because my focus was on my career.
And I’m smart enough not to fall for his sexy charm.
Or so I thought.
He’s so insanely good-looking and smooth with his words, I can’t help but be distracted whenever he’s around.
Fantasizing about the boss is inappropriate.
Sleeping with him would be crossing the line.
One night. That’s all it took.
And going back to the way it was isn’t an option.
The worst part about it?
I’ve fallen for him.
When a late night in the office shatters every rule, Easton and Zoey find themselves breaking all the boundaries.

Broken Boundaries by T.C. Matson a five-star read that will break you. This is the first book in the Debonair series and what a kick off to the series, I knew that T.C. Matson wrote good fighting men, but she writes men in suits that will melt everything about you, Easton Langley was a man who you could see on the outside was a man who liked to work hard and play harder, and never get burned by anyone but as we get deeper into his story we start to understand why he is like that, why he doesn’t want to play with fire. He has his rules and they work for him. They also work for his new assistant Zoey Campbell she knows his rep and no matter how hard he try’s she won’t allow him to break her, will she?
This was a great story, well written and although there was steam and raunch there was also some true feeling, and some romance that would melt even the coldest hearts. The secondary characters were great as well, Max was one I definitely liked and Zachary sounds like he has plenty of drama to regale us with. Britany was a bestie I wanted to have pizza Tuesday with and have a gossip while watching lifetime movies. This had everything you need in a great story.

I don’t even know if I like it. Usually a book makes you feel something, whether it’s good or bad, but this book left me feeling...well, absolutely nothing.

Yeah, I had to dnf this at about 45% because I really, really, didn't want the heroine to get the guy.
Never a good feeling to inspire in a reader at the start of a 'romance' novel.
I don't know what the author's problem is, but it's clear from their writing that they fear women that are confident and sure in their own sexuality, because apparently if you dress even a little bit sexy, you're a whore and a slut! The amount of slut shamming in this is ridiculous!
Quoting the heroine:
"I've never really understood the fake facade. Why not come comfortably? More like yourself? Think about it . . . if you're dressed like a slut, you'll be treated as one. Unless that's your thing. If that's the case, so be it. It's your dignity... or lack thereof!"
!! Really, need I say more? How much more judgmental can a writer be in their writing?!
Oh, and we have another smitten woman that is so gob-smacked by this studly man that she's not even capable of doing her job properly because she's " lost in an ocean of desire. " Why? Just why?
In another scene, h follows her boss, the sexy H and CEO to a meeting. And just because the assistant that greets them at this other company is dressed in a nice dress that hugs her hourglass figure (nothing wrong with that) and she and the CEO exchange flirty, innocent smiles with each other (again, nothing wrong with that) this woman is labeled a shameless whore. For what? For looking nice and winking at a guy! 'if you listen close enough, you'll hear her inner whore calling' . WTF!?
I feel like I'm ready the angsty diary of a kid that was never liked in school and saw less action than Charlie Brown.
The heroine is also quite snarky with her Boss, takes offensive digs at him because she's judging him by 'everything she's heard' and not as a human being, and she's quite full of herself.
Judgy Judgy Judgy
That's what the name of this book should be.
She even gets mad at him, like blows her top made, for trying to warn her about those two brothers she left the bar with. How that guy was a bit of a player,etc. He's just being a nice guy because he cares about her. Somehow this is a cardinal sin that justifies a small nuclear reaction on her part.
I wish someone had done that to my kindle before I started this book.
It gets a 2nd star for the fact that if the heroine wasn't so incredibly terrible, annoying, and eye gouging, this might have been a pretty good story.

Because I am seriously not into delayed gratification. I loved that this wasn’t your typical romance where the girl begs and the girl chases ohhhhh no.... it was a nice change of pace having the guy wanting to work for it until the end. Let me just throw out there that every man has a “Katelyn” the crazy bitch that won’t take no for an answer. I really loved the spin on a book I thought I already knew the end of. It was absolutely refreshing.

5 “Rule Breaking” Stars
Holy hotness! I want to break allllll the rules with Easton Langley!
I am in LOVE with this new series. Matson is known for her cocky fighters, but I love that she is crossing over into new territory. This is one office romance you don’t want to miss out on. Easton Langley is one of Denver’s biggest playboys, works hard and plays even harder. But when his new assistant, Zoey Campbell, walks in, even he is considering breaking his cardinal rule...don’t sleep with employees. I loved that even though she secretly wanted him just as much as he did her, she made him do all the chasing. And man, did he ever chase!
I loved the slow build between these two even though the attraction is instant. Zoey tried her hardest not to fall for the man, but come on! It’s Easton Langley. She knew his reputation and struggled with all that she’s heard. Does she give in and break the rules with Easton? You’ll have to read it to find out.
Overall, I loved this book. The writing is flawless and the story flows all throughout. It’s fun, sexy and has great secondary characters as well. I can’t wait to dive into Zach and Max’s books as well. Broken Boundaries is a great start to the Debonair series.

Wow, Y'all. Broken Boundaries is just WOW!!! I learned of T.C. Matson from social media. I've not previously read T.C.'s work but I am not going to lie, I am a cover whore and this cover is pretty damn awesome. So then I read the blurb and I requested to review this book through my blog...Spellbound Stories. I was just blown away. The story sucked me in from the get go. Easton Langley is a dirty talking manwhore and once he sets his sights on Zoey Campbell, well...Readers should really prepare themselves because this book is sure to get you hot! It's a slow burn, but DAMN! I'd be very surprised to see someone who rates this book below a 4 or 5 star read. It's well written, has a great pace and fun plot. The characters, both the primary and secondary, are very realistic and easy to connect with. It's told in duel POV so readers will fall in love with Easton as their next book boyfriend...I certainly did! I am pretty fickle but he is a mass of contradictions that were both surprising and exceedingly sexy. If you haven't read T.C. Matson, you REALLY need Broken Boundaries in your life...I am sure it will compel you to read anything in the author's back stock and stalk her on social media as I am now doing!

Wow, loved this:) . Easton and Zoey were super cute, off the charts sexy and just so damned cute:) . I did wish the ending had been "more" but I am hoping and praying it will get to that "more" stage as the series goes on:)
My only minor issue was the whole "manwhore" slah player things......a bit of a turn off personally and I always HATE when an H makes references to things of a former hook up. It wasn't bad but I don't want to hear about someone's perfect tits, ass, etc... you get my drift. Outside of that and Zoey being a bit stubborn at first, it was a great read! Cannot wait to read the rest of this series, I am stoked for Max and Zachs's stories:)

I'm such a huge fan of office romances and Broken Boundaries is one I really loved this would be the first book I've read by T.C Matson and it wont be my last especially in the Debonair series . It's always awesome to get both point of views and to know what the characters are thinking and doing instead of being put in the questioning game which frustrates me to no end . Right from the start these two feel the sexual tension but don't act on it until it reaches a point of no return , Easton and Zoey share witty banter , respect , and are very giving (wink) the sex scenes are so steamy my kindle over heated . Easton is the man in charge and the one who created the company from the ground up very powerful and rich so that attracts alot of attention so he's known as a bit of a playboy , he's funny , smart , hot , protective , and one hell of a dirty talker . Zoey was a great heroine she did frustrate me but it's understandable why she's so hesitant she's blunt , backboned , smart , kind and beautiful . I can't wait to see whats to come in this series the secondary characters are very likable and I just know they have some stories to tell . If you too are a fan of office romances then one click this as soon as possible .

❤️🌼🔥I.LOVED.BROKEN.BOUNDARIES..I.LOVED.EASTON.& ZOEY..GIMME BOOK 2....❤️🌼🔥
Easton Langley is a successful, hot, gorgeous, multi millionaire owner/businessman who also happens to have a manwhore-ish reputation, but even manwhores have rules by which they live, and one of his most important rules is: You don’t mix business with pleasure...He has NEVER had an affair with an employee, and he never will!! And since his last assistant left, he, seriously, needs a new receptionist/personal assistant...like yesterday.......I mean, he’s having to answer his own phones...❤️🌼🔥
Enter Zoey Campbell, who has worked hard at Langley Security and has been promoted to Easton’s personal assistant, and although she knows the reputation of Easton Langley, (everyone does), she believes she can handle him....after all, she’s not even his “type.” Plus, her career is important to her, and she will never do anything to jeopardize this badly needed job... Or give anyone the false impression that she didn’t work her way up....And, then, EASTON AND ZOEY see each other....❤️🌼🔥
TC Matson is one of the best, especially when it comes to hot, dirty talking, all alpha male character driven, love stories where the characters’ chemistry can nearly be felt through my kindle...She is one of my “favoritest” authors...I am SOOOO happy with Book 1 of her new The Debonair Series, BROKEN BOUNDARIES. I’ve already read this book twice....I. LOVE. TC. MATSON.... I. LOVE. BROKEN. BOUNDARIES....AND I. LOVE. EASTON. &. ZOEY.....GIMME BOOK 2....❤️🌼🔥

Breaking all the rules never looked so good. This is a brilliant start to the Debonair series.
Easton Langley is a notorious playboy and his reputation goes before him especially with women he’s never seen with the same woman twice and that is how he likes it no strings and no attachments has suited him for the past few years. The only thing that has mattered to him was building his business and playing hard. That is until Zoey walks in to his office and announces that she is his new assistant and suddenly the one rule he has always made sure not to cross not to sleep with employees is the most important one he wants to break. Suddenly he has something worth chasing but will she let him catch her?
Zoey has worked hard for the position of being Easton Langley’s assistant and yes he is the most gorgeous man she has ever laid eyes on, and just looking at him makes her skin feel electric but she cannot fall in love with her boss. I mean he’s Easton Langley the playboy he would only want her for one night and then discard her right? Well she tries her hardest to distance herself from her attraction to Easton but can he convince her to break the rules with him or will his past destroy their future?
This was fun, sexy and you cannot help but love these two characters and I cannot wait to read Zach and Max’s books with the little insight you get in to their characters it’s going to be fun. Highly recommended book.

There is so much to love and enjoy with this book! First, I love that the author doesn't go with convential names, its refreshing and adds a layer of intrigue to the characters. Easton is a man who is more than his past, regardless of what is said around him. He works harder than anyone, and has closed himself off to love. A little tumble in the jumble of life is what he's after. His life is easier that way he thinks.
Zoey has a sweet, shy and tender side that adds to her sassy side. She too has been working hard, and living a more quiet life. She is determined to do things her way and work her way up in her career. She only gives time to her bff and neighbor when the time is needed for a girls night out. Life is easier that way she thinks.
The two of them clash, literally on numerous occasions and as they build their working relationship, they are fighting their attraction. Thrown into the midst of it all, they have to battle away, detour a few roads and dodge spectators in order to figure out how to make everything work.
LOVED their chemistry, their personalities were so different yet complimentary to each other. For me, the way they expressed themselves was so refreshing and not cliche. There are moments of pure humor, an unabashedly display of pick up lines and a heck of a lot of steam! Fabulous book, sexy characters, LOVED it!

TC Matson has done it again; she has left me in love with yet another one of her male characters. Broken Boundaries was not just about finding love, it was about finding yourself, and about learning to let go and enjoy life.
We meet these two characters who are so different but at the same time they are so much alike. Easton is a guy who has his life planned out; he made his business grow and is determine to live life like he wants. He lives for work and at night he just does one time stand. He doesn’t fall for a woman, he doesn’t plan on it. What he wasn’t prepared for was for Zoey to walk into his life.
Zoey is funny, crazy, and very hard headed. Zoey is someone fights for what she wants but doesn’t give herself the time to think about what deep down she really wants and needs. She doesn’t plan on looking for love, she wants to work and find a way to make it.
Zoey got me frustrated at times, but the way she fights her attraction for Easton made me laugh and want more of it. Zoey and Easton learn to life live, they learn to expect and want more, and they learn how to love one another.
When love knocks on your door even when you weren’t expecting it, you have to let it in and see how it goes. This book is a must read, I loved everything about it.

Easton is a guy who has his life planned out; he made his business grow and is determine to live life like he wants. He lives for work and at night he just does one time stand. He doesn’t fall for a woman, he doesn’t plan on it. What he wasn’t prepared for was for Zoey to walk into his life.
Zoey is funny, crazy, and very hard headed. Zoey is someone fights for what she wants but doesn’t give herself the time to think about what deep down she really wants and needs. She doesn’t plan on looking for love, she wants to work and find a way to make it.
Zoey got me frustrated at times, but the way she fights her attraction for Easton made me laugh and want more of it. Zoey and Easton learn to life live, they learn to expect and want more, and they learn how to love one another.

Broken Boundaries was a great start to The Debonair Series which is new, and I absolutely LOVED it! Easton Langley is a successful multi millionaire businessman with a manwhore rep who has rules which he lives by, and his biggest rule is; you don't mix business with pleasure. That's never been an issues until Zoey Campbell was promoted to his new assistant. She is confident that she can handle him, plus she won't let anything happen so no one will believe that she got the job because she slept with him, and most important of all, she's not his type. And then they started working together. This was a fantastic story that was hot hot hot, with a side of angst for good measure. I loved the drool worthy Easton, as of course, there were reasons he was the way he was, and I loved the blunt Zoey so much. Together they sizzled, and it was only a matter of time before that sizzle ignited into flames that lit the sky up with sexy times! And the cast of secondaries were great as well, and I hope I see more of them as well. TC Matson's writing style was fantastically talented, which found me extremely addicted, so I cannot wait for more of this series! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5 “Rule Breaking” Stars
Holy hotness! I want to break allllll the rules with Easton Langley!
I am in LOVE with this new series. Matson is known for her cocky fighters, but I love that she is crossing over into new territory. This is one office romance you don’t want to miss out on. Easton Langley is one of Denver’s biggest playboys, works hard and plays even harder. But when his new assistant, Zoey Campbell, walks in, even he is considering breaking his cardinal rule...don’t sleep with employees. I loved that even though she secretly wanted him just as much as he did her, she made him do all the chasing. And man, did he ever chase!
I loved the slow build between these two even though the attraction is instant. Zoey tried her hardest not to fall for the man, but come on! It’s Easton Langley. She knew his reputation and struggled with all that she’s heard. Does she give in and break the rules with Easton? You’ll have to read it to find out.
Overall, I loved this book. The writing is flawless and the story flows all throughout. It’s fun, sexy and has great secondary characters as well. I can’t wait to dive into Zach and Max’s books as well. Broken Boundaries is a great start to the Debonair series.

3.5 Stars 🌟
Easton and Zoey are just a fun read; An office romance combined with an instant attraction.
One of the things that I enjoyed about this story was the fact that even though there was an instant attraction, acting on it was delayed. This gave our characters a chance to get to know each other and the reader the sense that the developing relationship might have staying power.
As much as I liked this story, I did have some mixed feelings about Zoey. There were times that she came across as a very strong female lead, but there were other times she seemed very young. I would have liked to have seen her be a bit more consistent. I genuinely liked Easton and appreciated the evolution we saw in him as he embraced his more emotional side.
The secondary cast was interesting, the dynamic between Easton and his friends was intriguing and a little confusing at times. Overall, this was a fun and quick read and I am looking forward to seeing Zach’s story.

Zoey and Easton are blurring the lines and it feels so good. Zoey knew one thing growing up, while she respected her hardworking parents, she wanted more out of life than could be found in a tiny town in Nebraska. She risked a lot by upping stakes and moving to Denver after securing a part time secretarial job at Langley Security but it's paying off now that she's been promoted to be none other than Easton Langley’s secretary. She is going knock his socks off and try her hardest to ignore his devilishly charms and outrageous good looks. Easton is wealthy, handsome, and single. The world is his oyster and he likes to shuck it. One place he doesn't he doesn't let his appetite spillover is the workplace, but his new secretary is making that very difficult. Zoey doesn't seem to know just how delectable she is and he wants to show her in every conceivable way. Rules Schmules.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.

He is quite determined.
I really liked this story. Easton the perpetual bachelor and playboy has it bad for us assistant Zoey. But the rumors and tabloids are emit what they seem. Yes he enjoys his women but never lying or starting without the settling the score. And for the most part his past relationships he was the victim of abuse and cheating. Zoey is insecure and doesn’t want to like her boss as it poses many problems. But most of all she has no self esteem in her worth comparing herself to his other flings and ex’s. One thing I didn’t like was in one of their arguments. She didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt. And he did absolutely NOTHING wrong but he didn’t get an apology out of the reconciliation. Yes they worked it out but she was in the wrong and although it played out nicely cause they love each other. I still think for as awesome as she is, she should admit her faults.

A breath of fresh air:)
Zoey Campbell just landed a most coveted job as the secretary/assistant to the CEO of Langley Security, Easton Langley. With drool worthy good looks and a reputation that proceeds him, Easton can have his pick of any woman in Denver so why would he ever look twice at her. At least that's what Zoey tells herself everyday at work in order to keep from falling under his spell. But when a man like Easton sets his sights on something there is no stopping him from getting it. And from the moment Zoey walked into his office Easton hasn't been able to stop thinking about her.
I loved the insane chemistry between these two and the fact that Zoey keeps her wits about her while dealing with this incorrigible man. Easton isn't afraid of going after what he wants and Zoey will quickly find out that she is what he wants most of all.

This was my first book by TC Matson and Broken Boundaries makes me wonder how that is. The first book in the Debonair Series. Easton is a gorgeous multimillionaire who run his own business and who is very much a man whore but one that has a strict set of rules. He never ever mixes business with pleasure and has never and will never date an employee. He has lost his old assistant and needs a new asap for goodness sake he has to answer his phone himself the horror! Zoey has worked for Easton company and has finally been given a promotion to Easton's assistant. She knows all about his manwhore ways and isnt wortied shes definitely not his type plus noone and nothing will makes her mess up this job she needs so much. But they both didnt bet on the other there instant connection is like a live wire and soon there going to break those boundaries down sooooo down!

I devoured this book! It was written flawlessly. Draws you in from start to finish. I didn't want to put it down. In this book you will find Ethan and Zoey. . I loved Ethan, he's a sexy, dirty talking, alpha playboy, CEO. And Zoey is the perfect leading lady, she's smart, sweet, and sassy. She just got a coveted position as the assistant to the CEO. Her first impression of Ethan was awesome! Seriously, read this book. Tc Matson, pulls you into the storey from start to finish. She gives the perfect amount of alpha male to sassy female. Awesome writer, one of my faves. Definitely a bit before you think kind of author. But all her books! One click, promise, you won't regret it.... I can't wait for the next book!

OMG, I read an advanced copy of this book and it was amazing! TC Matson has done it again, another brilliant and wonderful cast of characters and beginning to what looks to be a great new series. Zoey is so well written, snarky, sarcastic, funny as hell, and simply beautiful. Easton Langley is the consummate alpha male, so sexy you just want to drool and slap his face, yet you know he's a true gentleman under all that bluff and bluster. He's strong and gentle and so far gone for Zoey from day one that it's adorable. The way TC has written this book and introduced these characters has you laughing, crying, yelling, and chomping at the bit for the next installment as soon as you finish the last page!

What a great book! So many things I love in a story a sexy CEO/ Millionaire, a strong female, a "forbidden romance" and watching a playboy fall. Those together made a romance story I couldn't put down.
Easton and Zoey were a couple that shouldn't happen Boss and Assistant a big No No! Add in both of their insecurities and you have more reasons it won't work. But damn I wanted them together!! They had undeniable chemistry and when together HOLY HOTNESS!
I think what I liked most about this book is the couple was super hot without needing a sex scene every other page. Simple touches and looks set them on fire!
Can't wait for the next one. I really like this group of friends!

Perfect mix of heat and sweet
TC Matson weaves just the right amount of angst, heat, and sweet. She’s right, “you dream in reality when you pick up a book.” She does that for me, she makes me dream! Zoey is not his usual type but she intrigues him. Easton is not the type of man she into. Sure he’s sexy and hot but he has way too much past for her. He’s always thinking about what happened the last time he let some in. TC’s writing had me turning the pages. I didn’t want to put this book down. I am such a romantic! I was rooting for an HEA for Easton and Zoey. I am going to love this Debonair series! This book is the first in the series. I can wait for Zach’s story.

Zoey is promoted to Easton’s PA, and knowing what a reputation her new boss has, she is confident that she can handle him. Problem being; Easton want Zoey, and is determined to have her. Will rules be broken? Will boundaries be crossed? No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story, which flows seamlessly, and I was intrigued and captivated throughout. Looking forward to reading the next book in this amazing series, and I highly recommend this authors’ work for all readers!

Wow! This was my first read by this author and I can tell it won’t be my last. When Zoey comes to work for Easton, an extremely hot alpha male, you just know sparks will fly, and boy, do they! Easton has a reputation as a ladies man and Zoey knows it’s a bad idea to get together with her boss. And it’s not for lack of Easton trying! But Zoey holds back. She doesn’t want to jeopardize her job, but Easton is relentless. Can he break down her barriers? Can he change his playboy ways? The interactions between these characters was at times funny, frustrating, sizzling and even loving. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author!
