My Five Star Review of Built to Last:

It felt bittersweet reading this last book in Julie Ann Walkers Black Nights Inc. Series. I’m going to miss these ladies and gentlemen very much. I’ve been reading this series since August of 2013 and I’ve truly enjoyed every book.  This series got better and better with every storyline, every character, every Dum Dum Becky ate and motorcycle she built, every sidelong glance, every joke and even the tragedies thrown in.

This final book is centered around Jamin Agassi aka Angel who was a bit of a mystery to the readers as well as his fellow characters.  We got a glimpse into who and the what of Angel in the previous book, Hot Pursuit.  I really enjoyed the appearances from the other Black Nights Inc. operators.

If you are someone who enjoys a great military thriller suspense romance, then definitely pick up this series and be sure to start it from the very beginning.

Thank you, Ms. Walker, for giving me stories and characters that keep me coming back for 5 years.  I can’t wait to see what you come up with for your next stories.

Bossed by Sloane Howell

Bossed by Sloane Howell is a Sports Romance with a good dose of humor and extremely witty writing.  Bossed will release on March 28, 2017, and is intended for readers 18 years and older. bossed-sloane-howell

My FOUR Star Review:

I must confess, this is the first book I’ve read by Sloane Howell but it will definitely not be the last.  Bossed is the first in a standalone series with the second book Scored releasing on June 27, 2017.  Bossed is written in the first person but each chapter is written from one of the main character’s point of view which I love.

Bossed consisted of basically two main characters, Jenny Jackson and Ethan Mason but there are some secondary characters I loved as well and I’m looking forward to reading their story.

I absolutely love a strong female character and Jenny fit the bill.  From the moment I met her, I adored her and just knew that every interaction she had with Ethan going forward was going to be awesome.  At times Ethan’s inner monologue was so funny, I was laughing out loud.

This story is not just and office romance.  Yes, romance is alive and well but it is so much more.  Jenny’s life is a little complicated and Ethan’s is as well.  The way they navigate through the complications was really a joy to read.   I would highly recommend Bossed!

More About Bossed:

Jenny: Job interviews are a bitch under the best of circumstances, but when your potential boss is the world’s biggest prick, that’s when you should simply walk away. It’s just that I need this job so badly—and I’m mesmerized by Ethan Mason’s piercing gaze. Men like him aren’t supposed to exist in real life. But under the tailored suits and GQ looks, Ethan simmers with barely restrained ambition. And no matter how hard I work to fight the attraction, I’m going to get burned.

Ethan: You don’t become a top agent without learning how to close a deal. I always get what—or who—I want, by staying cool and in command. Then Jenny Jackson walks into my office with her lush curves and “screw you” attitude and blows away my intentions of keeping things professional. All I can think about is exploring the perfect body hidden beneath those conservative clothes or shutting her saucy mouth with one hot kiss. Jenny’s worth breaking the rules over—if I can convince her to break the rules for me.
