Synopsis: The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression.
I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.
He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.
So I told him to mind his own damn business―his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business―and went back to my miserable date.
When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.
I couldn’t help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.
When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.
But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us―telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.
My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.
When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I’d never see him again.
I mean, what were the chances I’d run into him again in a city with eight million people?Then again…
What were the chances a month later he’d wind up being my new sexy boss?
Review: I enjoyed a lot Stuck-Up Suit, one of the previous novels by Vi Keeland, and it is true that I was impatient to discover more! Moreover, I must say that the synopsis for Bossman immediately attracted me.
We discover Reese who after a short story with a co-worker feels compelled to find a new job. But then, she probably did not expect her new job to work for Chase, the charming man she met on a disastrous date. While she is determined not to end up again in the awkward situation that led her there, Chase seems determined to put her in his bed. He has made it his mission!
It was nice to see Chase running after Reese all the way through the story and to see her flicker slowly though she knows it’s not a good idea. But it must be said that she will give him a hard time. The two characters are touching, although I wanted several times to shake Chase so that he does not ruin the situation.
I had a good time with the novel although it’s true that I was expecting a little more … Yet it was a pleasant reading and I am curious to read more of the author as always!

LOL, what a meet up and then for him to be her boss. 🙂 Sounds like there was some back and forth stuff that got to be too much or not enough between them. But still good.
Nice review, Melliane!
Melliane
yes it was a good one

I do enjoy some office romance once in a while especially if there’s a hot boss involve hehe. I’ve been meaning to read something from Keeland though, but I’m still working on my list hehe. But I will eventually try this series. Awesome review Melliane 🙂

I love stories like this where they meet first and then realize they work together shortly after. 🙂
