Hi, book buddies :-) I had such fun reading The Baby Maker by Lili Valente that I couldn’t say no to another great story co-written by her.
I present to you...
Like a Boss
Authors: Sylvia Pierce & Lili Valente
Genre: Sexy, Flirty, Dirty Office Romance
Blurb
I’m one puff piece
away from tearing up my journalism degree and hurling my laptop into the Hudson
River. So when I smell a juicy story brewing at my brother’s Wall Street
investment firm, I’ll do whatever it takes to get my scoop.
One clever disguise
later, I’m deep undercover as the firm’s newest broker, simultaneously
gathering intel and spouting off stock tips like a boss.
Go me, right?
Sure, it sounds good
on paper, but there’s a catch: The actual boss.
Chief Executive
Panty-melter Jack Holt is cocky. Infuriating. And one smoldering look has me
ready to violate every rule in the employee handbook.
Thank God my
assignment has an expiration date. Because falling for my brother’s best friend
and business partner is a lose-lose proposition. Right?
***
In the market for a
hot tip? Here’s one.
Don’t bang your best
friend’s little sister. Especially when she’s an investigative journalist and
your company is the target of her latest exposé.
Unfortunately I’ve
got a hard-on for high-risk bets, and I’m more than eager to invest my considerable stock
holdings in Ellie Seyfried’s… ahem… glorious assets.
Friends with fringe
benefits is a sweet deal, but it’s not long before I’m falling harder than the
post-bubble Nasdaq, hooked on Ellie’s sweet smile and determination to make the
world a better place.
When it comes to risking my money, I’ve mastered every trick in the book. But how the hell do I risk my heart?
Want to know what I thought?
I had the most fun reading this romcom. Just the premise got me hooked because how could I resist a little spy disguised as a man infiltrating a firm to uncover some dirty secrets?
Even though the story unfolded in a different way as I had anticipated, I didn't flinch at the change at all. Not only was the plot addictive and fun, the writing as lively and smart as possible, and the chemistry between Ellie and Jack arousing and hotter than summer kisses, but it also raised important gender issues with a clever, inspiring point of view.
The female character is adorable and driven, and she tries to better the world for women at work through her investigation. Then, the male character is just swoon-worthy with all his manliness, but also his care for her and for his company. I liked it a lot that he was so interested in her qualities and was drawn to not only her beauty but her personality, her goals and her inner strength. And... oh, the steamy moments!!!! They happened when I couldn't wait any longer and they were pure fireworks.
The funny and sexy dialogues and situations won me over. What's more, the story grows into a hell of a fight for gender equality, love and self-worth, and I loved how every element worked together to create this hilarious, emotional and deeply romantic novel.
If this duo of writers are capable of this together, I'm all in. Fantastic read!

Lili Valente has slept under the stars in Greece, eaten
dinner at midnight with French men who couldn’t be trusted to keep their mouths
on their food, and walked alone through Munich’s red light district after dark
and lived to tell the tale.
These days you can find her writing in a tent beside the sea, drinking coconut
water and thinking delightfully dirty thoughts.
Are you tempted? 😊
Have a great day , book buddies.
