The Intern by Marni Mann (The Dalton Family #4)

 📎📎📎📎📎

My favorite in the series so far! Filled with super hot tension and witty banter, Declan and Hannah were everything I've been hoping for and more.

I've loved every book in this series, and truly enjoyed watching the tropes unfold in this one. From their undeniable connection when they meet, to the heat coming off the page, I was captivated until the very end.

The plot was well thought out, and this was quite possibly the steamiest book Marni has written yet. If I could extend it so the storyline lasted me another month, it would still be over too soon.

**Enemies to Lovers
**Workplace Romance

SUMMARY

In the legal world, everyone knows my last name. So, when Declan Shaw -- the hottest, most ruthless and sought-after litigator in the state -- comes in to mentor my class's mock trial, I decide not to reveal that piece of personal information.

I want a one-on-one with him like I'm any other law student, especially when we go out to celebrate after class.

But the one-on-one ends with us in the alley behind the bar.

With us stripping off our clothes.

With me screaming his name.

It's desperate-to-have-you, no-holds-barred, downright filthy sex.

And then, he ghosts me, like a complete alphahole.

But a few weeks later, when I walk into The Dalton Group -- my family's law firm -- where I'm starting my internship, my new boss is waiting for me.

The man I despise.

The man I can still taste in my fantasies.

Declan Shaw.

Bossing the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox (Circle B Ranch #4)

 

💚💚💚💚💚

All the emotions with this one! Bossing the Cowboy is a slow-burn workplace romance that will give you all the feels.

Elle can't stand her boss, but she also can't stop her heart from wanting what it can't have. All through her internship she tries to make Connor proud, but nothing can break through his walls.

Connor's ex is a piece of work, especially when it comes to their daughter. When things start to escalate and his daughters safety is in jeopardy, he's forced to fight for what he wants in life.

I'm a sucker for a single dad, but when they work with animals, I'm a goner. This had me laughing, smiling at the sass, and I even shed a few tears (you will too!) This owned my heart and I devoured it in one sitting!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

After surviving a messy divorce and custody battle, Dr. Connor Wallen quickly became married to his job. Helping animals is the perfect distraction from his crazy ex, but he finds it difficult to concentrate when an attractive woman joins his veterinary clinic. Getting involved with someone who works for him would only lead to disaster, so staying professional is key.

He tries to ignore her, but their chemistry is undeniable.

Elizabeth Bishop can't stand her boss or how he treats her, but there aren't many job options in small-town Texas. No matter what she does, it's never good enough for Connor, but she continues trying to impress him anyway.

She'll never admit she's attracted to him and denies it every chance she gets.

Avoiding him is impossible, but Elle keeps her distance whenever possible. After his walls start to crumble, she knows her feelings aren't one-sided. She's tired of playing his games and is ready to prove who's really in control.

Although he pushes her away, she's determined to pull him closer -- showing him exactly what they've both been missing.

**Bossing the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

💙💙💙💙💙

I'd give The Hating Game 10 stars if it was possible! I hate myself a little bit for taking almost 3 years to discover and read it, but so glad I own the paperback, so I can revisit Josh and Lucy anytime I want.

This outrageously bitter, yet witty, office rivalry will have you laughing out loud. I highly suggest not eating or drinking while you read. (I learned the hard way, so please take my advice!)

The banter between Josh and Lucy is at an all-time high. With moments you'll want to tell your friends, because you'll honestly still laughing about it days after you've read it.

Nothing is as it seems in the story, never knowing if it's just a game/rouse, or if there might potentially be actual feelings involved.

If you read one book this year, make it this one! The dynamics with their co-workers and family, throw that extra level of entertainment into the story and I guarantee this will be one of your new favorite go-to reads!

Summary:

Nemesis (n.)

1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.

2) A person's undoing

3) Joshua Templeman

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job...But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn't hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn't hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.

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.

💼 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.
