Synopsis


Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.

Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.

So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.

She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.

Ally
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.

Author’s Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her boss’s sexy vests.


REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To say I devoured this book would be putting it lightly. This was also the first audiobook and I loved it. I fell in love with Dominic. (It was kinda weird though, cuz ‘Dominic’ is my oldest sons name.) His grumpiness is something that made me laugh cuz I’ve known grumpy people people like that. Ally was just a great character as well and who wouldn’t want to be offered a job by a CEO.
.
This book made me so happy. I listened to it on the treadmill. I listened to it in my car. I listened to it at home. I couldn’t get enough. Their obvious attraction to each other, but still hating each other is a story I can get behind because it makes for the most steamy hookups once they allow themselves to. I fully enjoyed this book and have every intention of recommending this book to whoever and whenever I can!
