Bossman

Overall Opinion: I know I'm a minority again, but I just didn't love this one. I thought it was ok. I was disappointed in both characters in different times of the story, and I just wanted...more. I felt left wanting when the conflict was resolved and then I was thrown into their jump ahead epilogue. While the epilogue was cute and had me smiling, I really wanted to see them as actual couple for a little while! I'm not sure what exactly I missed that was so outstanding to make it such a highly rated book for many readers, so it might just be me ;)**See goodreads.com/NMmomof4 for my full review with spoilers**Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Reese and Chase's story. They bump into each other at a restaurant when Reese is begging her friend to help her out of a bad date, and Chase calls her out on her rude behavior. He ends up joining her date with a date of his own. They connect instantly through some elaborate made-up stories, but leave with their prospective dates. Six months later they bump into each other again, and Reese ends up working for Chase's company. They dance around each other, but eventually give in to their strong connection. There is some past baggage for both of them that they have to get through, some hot sexy times, and some funny moments...but they get a HFN ending.POV: This alternated between Reese and Chase's POV. Chase's pov was mostly flashbacks into his past.Overall Pace of Story: Good until the end. I never skimmed, and I thought it flowed well. It was just another book that had their conflict resolved literally right before the epilogue. I want some time in-between with them as an actual couple!Instalove: Not really. I felt like they were connected instantly, but I wouldn't call it instalove.H rating: 3.5 stars. Chase. I really liked Chase! I just really didn't like how he went about pushing the h away :(h rating: 3 stars. Reese. I lost a lot of respect for her with how she behaved with a 3rd party at the beginning 30ish%. I did appreciate how she ended up pursuing the H in the end.Sadness level: Low. No tissues needed.Heat level: Moderate. They take a while to be intimate, but once they do it is pretty hot.Descriptive sex: Yes.Safe sex: Yes. Condoms are used, and after they have a std status and birth control talk they go without. I don't remember any mention of previous practices.OW/OM drama: YesSex scene with OW or OM: NoCheating: NoSeparation: YesClosure: This had ok closure. I wanted more. I would call it a HFN ending, but some might think of it as a HEA.How I got it: I paid the $3.99 on Amazon.

5 CROWNSMy love affair with Vi Keeland began late one night as I stumbled upon Throb, and it has only been strengthened with each novel I have read by her. I can always count on good characters, an interesting plot, and excellent writing, and Bossman did not disappoint.I thoroughly enjoyed the main characters of this story, Chase and Reese. Our heroine is my favorite kind of leading lady. She knows what she is worth and isn’t afraid to ask for it. She has ethics and morals and spends a good deal of the story resisting the hero to follow these rules she has set up for them. I also love that although she is afraid due to incidents from her past, she doesn’t allow these past events to dictate her life in the present. She faces fear head on in relationships and life. The use of her relationship with her brother is an excellent literary tool used by Vi Keeland to develop Reese’s characterization. We get character motivation, background information, characteristics, and skills used to have some dirty conversations in a room full of people. Reese is simply charming. Chase is my favorite kind of hero. He is the perfect mix of cocky arrogance and sweetness, resulting in major charisma. I love the way he interacts with his employees, showcasing that while he is cocky about his personal life or looks, he respects others. He deeply cares for the people he loves as well, which is shown with his reaction to particular events in the story. Once you become a part of this man’s inner circle, he is protective and caring, all the best attributes in a hero. Finally, I love his dialogue. The confidence in his “relationship” with Reese is fantastic. His ability to weave tales is entertaining and will have the reader laughing. Plus, he is hot, physically and linguistically. Really, what is better?The plot of Bossman I found to be incredibly engaging. Yes, this is an office romance, so it does follow the typical trope. The author, however, uses the past of the characters to create the conflict in the story, which allows the reader to get an office-romance with a unique twist. It completely fits with the characters, considering their past and how it has shaped who they are as people. The resolution of the story just solidified how much I love these two as a couple.Vi Keeland has never disappointed, and Bossman has only helped to solidify my love of her writing and that this author is an automatic one-click author for me. If her name is on it, I will be buying it.

Why the 5 star rating you ask?? Well i was taken on a roller coaster of emotions from the first page. I found myself laughing out loud at Chase's cocky banter. The book is so well written and flows so well. There weren't any grammar or spelling mistakes. Meaning that there was a proof reader.The emotions this book evoked from me were so real that i actually forgot that this book was fictional. I have found my new favourite author.Be prepared to not put the book down. Instead of me going to bed early, i found myself still reading at 4am and i had to go to work the next morning. 5 star wasn't a give away rating from me, believe me. It was well earned. Until my next book review..... Bravo

Bossman - Vi KeelandOh my god !! I absolutely loved this book.This is a sexy, fun and beautiful read that has a heart wrenching twist laced through.The first chapter had me captured immediately and honestly I didn't want to put the book back down! I've giggled, swooned, cried and swooned again over this story. From the off set I could sense the magnetic fields that were working in sync to draw the two main characters together and it was so alluring to read.This is my first read by this author but it has definitely left an impression on me that you can be rest assured it won't be my last book I pick up by Vi Keeland, I look forward to reading more from her. Why it has taken me so long to pick up one of her books I have no answer for but now I'll most definitely be keeping her on my radar.I adore the characters in the story. They were such a perfect counterpart to one another, they meshed so well it was easy to start rooting for them to get together. I have to say I am so pleased they weren't a book couple that meet and suddenly fall in bed together, the author draws out the attraction between them at a deliciously smooth pace that works perfectly for the book and story - THANK YOU FOR THAT. NO WAM BAM HERE -thank heavens.Reese meets Chase while she's out on a bad date and he overhears her calling a friend to help get her out of it. He becomes the friend to help when he suddenly joins her date!! -too funny!There's no denying there's an instant attraction but when Reese takes a job within the company Chase is CEO of she lays down rules of "no fraternisation". Chase simply tells her " I'll rewrite the rule book" and boy does he do that !! Chase by name and Chase by nature. He relentlessly pursues Reese which offers up some hilariously funny situations and one line gags - I laughed so much my husband asked if he should read it !To wrap it up this is by far one of the better books I've read this year - which according to my reading challenge is book 69 ;) out of 100 target I set myself.You have to read this, if like me you love a hot sexy CEO mixed with a sassy talking female and sexual tension coupled with laugh out loud banter then I can guarantee you'll love it!!!

I love Vi Keeland and I love this book. So well written and these two characters are just brilliant to read and explore. Vi does this so well and who doesn't love a book about a sexy boss you really don't want to work for.Reese Annesley is out of work and looking for job. She is out on a date one night which isn't going so well when she literally bumps into Chase Parker and they exchange heated words but you can just feel the chemistry already starting to build - but when will she ever see him again. Well sooner than she thinks as he ends up being the CEO of the new company she is starting her new job at.Reese is a delight to read, she is feisty, fun, sexy and a handful. Chase - OMG where do you start with this man, built like a God - funny, sexy, hot with an attitude to die for, I want him to be my boss, he is a dream come true and a pleasure to read in every way possible. This is about their story of working together as boss and co worker, and just how long it will take them to rip each other's clothes off and devour each other. Honestly - this cat and mouse game between them is explosive and addictive and sexy and hot as hell, the sex scenes are extremely hot and Vi keeland writes them so well. This book is a MUST read and not to be missed and with a book cover like this - leaves little to the imagination of what Chase Parker just might look like, yep he can come and examine my resume any time. Brilliant in all ways !!!!!!!!!

I couldn't put this down! And I'm starting again from the beginning to make sure I didn't miss anything! The banter between Chase and Reese is panty-dropping hot. The chemistry is on fire. This is very well written, and I just couldn't get enough! Add in the heartbreak of their pasts, the fight to hold on to and realisation of what they have, it made an amazing read. The bed scenes were perfect, not too crude but enough to make me jump my man lol. So do not disturb sign back on my phone as I devour this again

This is a fantastic contemporary erotic romance. I LOVED IT!Reece Annesley is a wonderful character. I really liked her. After an office romance goes sour, Reece finds herself looking for a new job. But her social life is just as dire. When a stranger rescues her from a boring date, she becomes intrigued with him.Swearing off of office romances, she finds herself fighting her attraction to the mysterious Chase Parker when he becomes her new boss.Chase Parker is a fantastic character. I really loved him. He has a tragic past, but I loved his sense of humour and his inventive storytelling. He is the CEO of a successful cosmetic company. When he rescues a damsel in distress (Reece) from her boring date he wasn't looking for love, but something about her drew him to her.I have been a huge fan of this author's ever since I was first introduced to her books in 2013 and I read Belong To You. When I heard that this book had been released I downloaded a copy of it and began reading it as soon as I could.I started to read and was quickly hooked. I didn't put this book down until I had finished it. It is very hard not to gush about this book and give spoilers. The only complaint I had (if you could call it that) is that although this story is told through the eyes of Reece and Chase, Reece's story is told in the present while Chase's is a flashback to his past for the most part. I understand why the author did this as she needed to show his backstory. However, I would have loved to have had a few more scenes from him in the present to see what he thought of Reece, especially when he first met her. Nevertheless, the story kept me turning the pages.The chemistry between Chase and Reece is extremely explosive from the start and hot enough to scorch the pages. Their witty repartee kept me smiling. I also loved meeting a few of the other characters who were likable and lifelike. In fact all the characters were lifelike, with flaws and insecurities which made them more real. There was a twist that I didn't see coming and left me in tears, and the story took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. I loved the dialogue and the way the characters all interacted; I could picture everything in my mind's eye with ease. I reached the end of the story with mixed emotions because I didn't want it to finish. But, sadly, all good things must come to an end. Luckily, I get to re-read this story whenever I want to revisit it.Vi Keeland has written another exciting erotic romance. I love her writing style, which is fast paced and exciting. The story flowed wonderfully too. I love reading this author's work. She is one of my favourite contemporary romance writers, and I will continue to follow her career with interest.As this is an erotic romance, there are several scenes of a sexual nature that are rather hot and explicit. Therefore, I do not recommend this book for readers younger than 18. However, if you love hot, steamy erotic romances, this book is for you! - Lynn Worton
