I couldn’t stand Jenny. She annoyed the ever-living out of me. I mean, she went into her interview and immediately started verbally sparring with Mason and then every scene with them afterward, at work, she was insubordinate. If she was my employee, she wouldn’t have been hired and if she was, she would have been fired as soon as she screamed at me to apologize to an employee who cost me millions of dollars. She was whiny too. I mean, she had her first orgasm, ever, in the back of Mason’s car and then checks her phone to find out that her dad, who had terminal cancer, was in the hospital. She flipped out on Mason….like hardcore screaming and yelling at him. I get that her emotions were all over the place but dang, she needed to check it. And when her dad died, her flipping out on him because he went to a business meeting and his cell phone. I can’t even put that at grief. She was acting like a witch with a b. She was the one who sent him on the darn business trip…..with her blessings. There were some places in the book where I wanted to slip her a chill pill. She annoyed me that much.
Mason was just as unlikable at the beginning of the book. But I did like the change him in once he started seeing Jenny. I actually started to like him and by the end of the book, he achieved hero status by dealing with her. But, he wasn’t all nice. I mean, he broke up with her because he assumed that she cost him 10 million dollars on a pitcher when it ended up being information that he gave to her that was incorrect. And how he was at the beginning of the book…..he was a grade A idiot.
The sex scenes were pretty hot but what was hotter was the sexual tension between Jenny and Mason. It blew the book out of the water in that aspect because it made the first time they had sex beyond hot.
I thought the storyline with Jenny’s father was pretty sad and I really thought that he was going to make it. I actually cried when I found out he died.
The end of the book I liked. It was pretty standard with an HEA.
How many stars will I give Bossed: 3
Why: While I liked the story and half of the main couple, I really couldn’t get past Jenny
Will I reread: Maybe
Will I recommend to family and friends: Maybe
Age range: Adult
Why: Sex and language

This cover is OK. The dude is hot I'll give you that. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot of personality to it and comes across a bit bland in my opinion.
I really enjoyed this one. It was a super sweet read. It was well-written and nicely paced. No OW/OM drama. The only angst came from the couple themselves. It had some nice sex scenes. A little bit of humor. A little bit of sadness. A couple of interesting side characters (who will be featured in the next book.) A set of likable main characters. Though Jenny DID get on my nerves a couple of times with her tendency to blame Ethan for things that were out of his control. This was especially frustrating when something happens at the end, and her reaction was so OTT and distasteful if I had been Ethan I would have washed my hands of her right then. Overall though this was a really enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

Ethan Mason is a Sports Agent and CEO of Mason & Associates. He's a generous employer but rules his workforce with an iron rod, micromanaging to ensure they perform 100% all the time. When he interviews Jenny Jackson, he can't believe she's the same woman who he literally bumped into only a few minutes earlier and astonished when she corrects him over incorrect data he quoted. Leaving him little choice but to hire her on the spot but not necessarily for her bookkeeping skills.
With mounting medical bills to pay, Jenny Jackson needs to secure the job she has an interview for but after getting knocked to the ground by a bad-tempered man in a suit, she's going to have to pull herself together to gain her composure. When she enters Mason & Associates she's surprised the CEO will be present at the interview and is even more shocked when he's the same bad tempered guy who bumped into her minutes earlier. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, she challenges him about misinformation and is even more astonished when he hires her on the spot.
Her physical appearance smacks prim and conservative but once she opens her mouth, Jenny is a formidable force. The champion of the underdog, she challenges Ethan when he humiliates a colleague before everyone. She's tough...brought up by her single father and more importantly a perfect match for Ethan. Ethan's has met his match, however, he's an expert at sabotaging his chances with Jenny. That said, I love that he's very conscious about his flaws and tries to wrong his rights after he's called out and made accountable for his behaviour. Even though his initial reaction is to retreat into himself, unable to handle situations he caused.
The result? An exciting roller-coaster of a ride with Ethan and Jenny's volatile temperaments generating combustible chemistry. With verbal sparring, acerbic retort and knee-jerk reactions before engaging their brains, there's never a dull moment! Balance and harmony are achieved courtesy of their best friends Kelsey and Matt who provide welcome wisdom and peace....phew!
