Review: Arrogant Boss

 

✩✩✩

He’s not someone you meet, not without a six-month wait. Except I did—and not in that sweet, meet-cute kind of way. I wish.

No, I manage to run head-first into Julian Hunt in a nightclub. It’s the spill-my-drink-over-his-suit kind of headfirst, the break-my-heel kind.

But the arrogant bastard doesn’t leave. No, he carries me to my car. He implies that I fell on purpose to catch his attention—how dare he!—and after I’ve chewed him out, he asks for my number.

I don’t expect to see him again. After all, lightning doesn’t strike twice. Except it does, when Julian’s involved. Because when I walk into a business negotiation the next day, who’s sitting on the other side?

Julian Hunt.

He’s wearing a smirk and a perfectly tailored suit, and he’s not there to play. He dominates. I walk out of the negotiation having—somehow!—been offered my dream job. It's an offer far too good to refuse.

But if there’s one thing more intimidating than Julian Hunt at a nightclub, it’s Julian Hunt as a boss. A persistent, dominant, sexy-as-hell boss.

He might have decided that we’d be perfect together, but I won’t be tempted by his broad shoulders and wicked tongue.

Review: After reading the New York Billionaires series and loving it, I decided to explore some of Olivia Hayle's other books and I landed on this one. Honestly? I was a bit disappointed. 

 

Julian Hunt is not an arrogant boss. Other than in those first few pages, he's actually pretty laid back, both at work and in his personal life. But that's not really an issue (other than a misleading title). I felt little chemistry between the characters, and some scenes were really long, with so many details thrown in, that halfway through I was feeling more bored than anything else. 

Arrogant Boss is a read-if-you-really-love-the-genre-and-have-a-lot-of-time-on-your-hands kind of story. Otherwise, there are much better books by this author out there.

Happy readings!
