Still, they both struggle with the dating the boss situation. The history gives their relationship a real foundation, and once they get together, you wonder how they didn’t hook up sooner. There’s extra swooniness in the push/pull of having put the possibility of anything on ice (sorry) long ago because they work together. After years of Becca looking after Nate, it’s nice to have the tables turned. Becca whipped that office into shape and eventually moved on to managing the Bruisers office. These two have known each other for ages, back before Nate made his fortune and was working with a team of buddies in a shabby little office. The fun of Nate and Becca’s relationship is that it isn’t based on instantaneous attraction. He just happens to be a hot billionaire, but unlike most book billionaires, his work outside the Bruisers actually figures into the story. He’s kind and thoughtful, smart, and completely adorkable. Catch up on the Brooklyn Bruisers series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Furthermore, this world is free of homophobia. Rabbit speaks of loving both men and women, while Empress In-Yo is also queer.
