Kenzie can't believe that her twin sister thinks she is frigid and uptight. (Did NOT like her sister Riley at all, by the way). To prove to herself that she is wrong, she approaches the hot guy at the coffee shop, who she has seen there before. They immediately start trading witty, innuendo laden banter which leads to an incredibly hot truck makeout scene. Unfortunately, they are interrupted and both the characters and the reader are left hanging.
Scott has his own software company that he and his best friend built themselves. But he doesn't filter what comes out of his mouth which leads to a very displeased board of directors. In order to get the stiff, old men off his back, Scott agrees to work with a PR professional to help clean up his act. Surprise, surprise - guess who the PR gal is? Both Scott and Kenzie are shocked to be sitting across from each other at the conference table. Kenzie knows better than to get involved with one of her clients, but once the sexy banter starts up again, nothing can keep them off each other.
Can Scott handle the fact that Kenzie is trying to mold him into something he's not, even if it is just her job? And will Kenzie be able to handle the consequences of sleeping with her client?
I loved this book! It made me smile and literally laugh out loud. It was witty and sweet and so very hot. It is told from alternating points a view between Kenzie and Scott, which is one of my favorite methods. I love getting inside the minds of both the hero and heroine. This was a fun, light hearted summer read and I will absolutely be checking out future books from Allyson Lindt.
Conflict of Interest is the first book in the Bits & Bytes series, but each book can be read as a stand alone.

Book Description:
Kenzie propositions a
sexy stranger in a coffee shop to prove to herself she’s capable of
taking a risk. She doesn’t expect him to be sitting across from her the
following Monday as her newest client. Even worse, she can’t stop
thinking about what might have happened between them on a personal level
if it weren’t for their professional relationship. He knows how to push
her buttons, and she doesn’t want him to stop.
Scott has built
his software company from the ground up to escape things like stuffy old
men telling him how to behave, so he loathes his board of directors
ordering him to make the public forget he doesn’t have a verbal filter.
When his new publicity manager is the almost-fling he never expected to
see again, he seizes the opportunity to have fun and still pretend he’s
complying with the board’s edict.
Giving in to desire could mean
both their jobs, but each “one last time” always leads to another. Now
they have to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to indulge this
conflict of interest.
Tori is stuck in a job that is slowly driving her crazy as she lets them walk all over her. She is also designs costumes that Archer displays in his comic store. She wishes she knew how to separate love and sex like he does. So when he offers her some hands on lessons, she just can't refuse. However, right from the beginning it is pretty clear that these two have deeper feeling for each other than either of them realize.
