The Boss of Her: Office Romance Novellas by M. Ullrich, Aurora Rey, Julie Cannon
3.0
ARC received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a mixed bag for me, I liked one, thought one was average, and didn’t warm to the other.
The first story is Lead Counsel by Aurora Rey, I don’t think I’ve read anything by her before, but I will now. This was by far the strongest story, and I wish it wasn’t a novella. I enjoyed both MC’s and the plot was interesting, there was also no stupidly interspersed drama. I would have liked more time with these characters, still what was there didn’t feel forced or rushed.
Second is Julie Cannon’s For Your Eyes Only, which had an out there premise featuring a stripper and a woman who’s wound so tight she has to keep paying her to dance for her. I didn’t really get a handle on either character and the reveal at the end was rushed and unrealistic. No way do I see that relationship lasting.
The last was M. Ullrich’s Opportunity of a Lifetime and I just couldn’t warm to it. Didn’t like either character, the plot wasn’t terribly interesting and the contrived drama was way over the top.
All in all I’m happy I tried this because I found a new author, but overall, it was an average read.
