Steal My Magnolia by Karla Sorensen (Love at First Sight #3)

 

❤❤🏕❤❤

Finding love in the great outdoors! Steal My Magnolia will leave you with a smile on your face and wanting to go camping with the one you love.

Wanting to make her own way in life, away from her dad's notoriety, Magnolia applies for a job, but keeps her personal details to a minimum, knowing that she'll instantly be recognized by her name.

When her past collides with her present, it not only leaves her new job in jeopardy, but destroys any hope for a relationship with her new boss, either personal or professional.

Grady is finally pursuing his dream of opening an outdoor adventure business, but the last thing he expects is to find instalove with his new assistant Lia.

I've been waiting for Magnolia's story ever since watching her heart break in Batter of Wits, and it was SO worth the wait! This was another hit for Karla Sorensen and I love the world she's created within this series.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Life lesson from Grady Buchanan: If you're going to fall in love with the untouchable girl in town, don't hire her as your only employee.

Even after he bungled the interview with Magnolia MacIntyre, he knew better than to hire her. The list of why it's a bad idea is a long one.

Her father could ruin his fledgling business.

She is completely overqualified.

And he's attracted to her.

What does Grady do? He offers her the job.

Magnolia knew better than to take it. Normally, she'd make the safe choice, and working for Grady is anything but.

He's new in town -- and entirely too charming.

Her dad will be furious.

She hates the outdoors and working for an outdoor adventure company is not exactly the right fit.

What does she do? She says yes on the spot.

Grady and Magnolia will have to prove to everyone in their life that they're not crazy. And prove to each other that the list of why it's a bad idea should be tossed out the window.

For these two opposites, sometimes doing the wrong thing is exactly right.

Forking Around by Erin Nicholas (Hot Cakes #2)

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

Forking Around is a sweet treat! This is the second book in the Hot Cakes series, and I've fallen hard for Dax Marshall.

The perfect mix of office romance and enemies to lovers, this story will have you laughing and swooning around every corner.

Dax is my new favorite book boyfriend, with his unwavering faith and determination to fix things for everyone he cares about, he'll steal your heart and have you believing in romance again.

Jane's devotion to her family and fellow employees is commendable and will have you cheering for her to find her happy ending. While she definitely needs something to go right in her life, her fierce independence is one of the things I loved most about her character.

This can be read as a stand alone, but it would be enjoyed more in series order. I highly recommend having a cake pop or two on hand while reading as well!

😄 Comedy
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

A Cinderella story. With O-Inducing strawberry pie...delivered by her very hot boss. No fairy godmother required here.

Everyone thinks Dax Marshall is a prince of a guy. And he's definitely charming.

But Jane has enough going on without adding a torrid fling with the boss to her life. Between her father's illness, her wicked-ish stepmother, her little sister's teenage drama, and the co-workers who depend on her -- she can't handle another mess.

No matter how tempting and gorgeous the mess may be. Or how messy he wants to get with her.

Dax has spent his life being very serious about only one thing: proving you can be successful while still having a helluva good time. But he's just met the one woman who might break his I-can-charm-anyone streak. She's actually taking him seriously...and she seriously thinks they have nothing in common and can't be together.

Maybe he's the one who needs a new view of happily ever after. It's time to stop forking around.

Wild Card by Kelsie Rae (Advantage Play #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

Wild Card is a story worth betting all your money on! Kelsie Rae writes sweet romances, but man did she knock the Mafia genre out of the friggin park with this one!!!

As an avid fan of NCIS, I was immediately sold with the rules that Ace lives by. Her strength and ability to read people is admirable, and you can't help but fall for her the more King gets to know her.

Ace and Kingston's chemistry will have you begging for something to ignite between them, and the gentleness of the Mafia King will have your heart swooning. I'm digging into Dark King right now, I can up the coffee intake tomorrow, lol.

I enjoyed the secondary characters, mainly due to their air of mystery, always keeping you guessing how their tied into the plot, and if they're going to turn into a villain or hero at some point.

My eyes are burning while typing this, cuz I wasn't able to stop reading, once I started the book 5 hours ago...not even for bathroom breaks...fair warning, be prepared to forgo everything once you begin this journey.

💥 Action

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

Summary:

Rule #1: Keep your head down and your eyes up. It makes you invisible. But not stupid.

Ace, a young cardshark, has worked her entire life to achieve one goal. Bring Burlone Allegretti to his knees. As the head of a mafia family who dabbles in human trafficking, he's far from innocent, and Ace can't wait to exact her revenge.

As her plan is set in motion, the alluring head of a rival family, Kingston Romano, approaches her with a proposition. One that she's desperate enough to accept.

Soon, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a war she isn't prepared to fight. With a target on her back, and intimate feelings she refuses to acknowledge, she'll have to decide if she's all in, or if she'll be taken for all she's worth.

Sexy Filthy Boss by Piper Rayne (White Collar Brothers #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

Piper Rayne is my go-to duo for RomCom's! Sexy Filthy Boss is an entertaining office romance that will have you cheering for the assistants.

This is a spin-off from the Blue Collar Brothers series, but can be read as a stand-alone. As with most series, it's a little more enjoyable if you've read the previous ones, as characters are discussed or come into play occasionally.

Lorenzo (Enzo) Mancini comes off as an egotistical playboy, but the more you see him interact with his family, you realize he just wants to be successful in his career, no matter the personal sacrifices he makes.

Annie Stewart just wants a chance to move up the ladder and show her creative abilities. When she steps up as a temporary fill-in and helps to land a huge account, the last thing she wants as a reward is a permanent job as an assistant. Especially for someone who could just take her ideas and not give her any credit.

As Enzo and Annie work together on the new campaign, their chemistry starts to ignite, but is a workplace romance possible? The witty banter and passion will have you flying through the pages. It has the perfect combination of sexy times and laughter. I can't wait for more in this series!

😄 Comedy

📎 Office Romance

💋 Steamy

Summary:

He's the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom. I'm the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire. The owner of the company is clear - hook the biggest client in our firm's history and there's a partnership for him and a promotion for me.

Stipulation - we do it together. It doesn't take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed...late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension. No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower.

I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate. But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don't stop peeling, I'm going to lose everything, including my dignity.

Coldhearted Boss by R.S. Grey

💙💙💙💙💙

R.S. Grey is one of the best authors in the romantic comedy genre and Coldhearted Boss is a must-read! This feel-good boss/employee scenario will keep you entertained from the first page all the way to the end.

While you can see the reasoning behind Ethan's anger, your heart will also cry for everything Taylor has sacrificed and still continues to struggle with on a daily basis.

The chemistry is off the charts with these two, and the pranks they pull on each other will have you laughing so hard, your cheeks will still be sore hours later.

Ethan Stone has been burned and after a misunderstanding with a potential one night stand, he's out for revenge. When his path crosses with Taylor again, it's almost as though fate has stepped in.

Taylor is just trying to provide for Mom and younger sister, she's not going to let some bull-headed corporate jerk get in her way of earning a paycheck.

💋 Romance
💼 Workplace Romance

Summary:
I'm desperate and destitute when Lockwood Construction rolls into my small town with an offer too good to pass up: high wages to any able-bodied man willing to join their crew.

Say no more. I throw on baggy clothes, tuck my long hair under a baseball hat, and apply for a job. Unfortunately, my half-baked idea of disguising myself as a guy is flawed from the beginning. As Shakira says, these hips don't lie.

Still, I like to think I might have pulled the whole thing off save for one thing:

I know my boss.

Last month, we bet at a bar, and after a fiery first encounter, it seems we're destined to be sworn enemies.

Misadventures with the Boss by Kendall Ryan (Misadventures Series #12)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Piper Daniels has moved to a new city for a fresh start, when her "helpful" sister sets her up on a blind date via the internet, on a site that is known for hookups.

Jackson Dane is a pompous womanizer, who has no time for relationships, only his job as CEO. One night isn't enough for him, but Piper is gone before he can blink.

They're both astonished when come Monday morning, they discover that it's a smaller world than anyone could've guessed. Piper is determined to keep things strictly professional, but that makes the challenge even more appealing for Jackson.

This was a great steamy read, with depth to the storyline and a great background to the characters. I'm a sucker for a good office romance, even if it began before they technically worked together, lol.
