Bad for the Boss: 5 Stars
I absolutely love Theo and Jen. I love their relationship, chemistry and all their moments together.
After reading this I think Theo is one of my favourite male romance leads, I just loved every moment he was on page. Jen was also a beautiful main character with very real worries. I loved how strong she is with everything that happened in the book.
I was really surprised with the subplot and the ending. It was not something that I expected (despite the very obvious signs that I kind of forgot in favour for the cute couple) but surprisingly liked a lot.
Undone by the Ex-con: 4 Stars
I really liked this story too. I did give it for 4 stars as it didn't pull me in as much as the first one. I can't pinpoint what it was that stopped me from giving it 5 stars either. I really liked the characters and the plot was interesting to read. I think it just came down to I preferred the first book more than this one. Great read either way.
I really liked Isaac and Lizzie's interactions. I also liked the hate to lovers plot and the driving forces behind it. I will admit I didn't like how Lizzie left professional dancing in the prologue. After reading the whole book I get it, but it did leave a little sour taste in my mouth which now that I think about it probably carried through the book. Other than that it was a fun read and would recommend.
Sweet on the Greek: 4 Stars.
This was a 5 star read until those last three chapters. The final conflict felt a little forced like "Shit there is still a final climax that needs to happen. Quick do this" and fell flat with me.
Ignoring the final conflict, I adored the plot of fake dating. I adore Aria and Nik, they are such sweethearts with each other and I loved every moment of them together. There is something about sweet loveable male, and boss bitch awesome female that is just chef's kiss.
I really enjoyed this series and highly recommend reading this. Each story is strong and can easily stand on its own but also work well together to see people and the world interacting. I'll need to read the spin off Work for It which is about Keyes now!
