About this listen

"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’ sexy vests.

The banter between these two characters was freaking hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed Dom and Ally's fiesty path to love. This book had me enthralled from the start with Ally's strength, determination, sense of humour, sass and dont take sh#t from entitled jackasses attitude. Dom had his own baggage to work through and beneath his fierce exterior was a kind heart. Drunk Dom was funny and a bit swoony too. Sebastian York and Erin Mallon brought these characters to life and were perfect for the roles.

Loved it!

Enjoyed this book but feel that romatic comedy only partly describes it. It was definitely a little 50 shades with very detailed and frequent sex scenes! Characters were great and very easy to invest in.

Super Saucy!

I liked that there was no easy solution when it got the fan. Yes we all know that most boyfriends are not wealthy business men and not all of us are nearly destitute and working 4 jobs but this felt very real to me. The anger, the attraction, the stubbornness and the humour all felt real. It was easy to get immersed in the story and the narration was great. I do love Lucy Score. I just need to find another one of hers before the book hangover sets in..

it felt real

I love these cute, lol romcoms. I discovered these guilty pleasures last year. Lucy Score really does the grumpy/sunshine trope so well, and I just loved Dom and Ally so much 😭
