Liam Baxter is my new boss, and he’s not so bad. I mean, he does require that I knock before I walk into his office. And he doesn’t want me to bring my cat to work. Then he tells me if I don’t follow his rules, there will be discipline. On top of that, others say he’s cold and calculating. Hmm, maybe my boss is a little bit bad? But the more I work for him, the more things change. He shows me his … his true self in delicious glimpses. Perhaps underneath the stern, handsome boss, there’s a man who needs love even more than he needs an assistant.
Georgia Lavine is a means to an end for me. Her father’s business is one I intend to destroy. What better way to strike at a man than to take his daughter? That’s just what I did, hiring Georgia as my assistant to spite him and also to gain more leverage. But this acquisition isn’t without its pitfalls. Georgia is too sunny, too beautiful, too fun, too naïve, too everything-I’m-not. She treats everyone so kindly. So much so that I begin to find that I’m the only one who should get her smiles, her attention, and everything else she has to offer. After all, I’m her boss. And though the assistant position is temporary, I have a much more permanent one in mind.
MINK’s Note: This is a fun, sweet, safe office romance that gives you feels and a HEA. Curl up with your fave kitty and enjoy.

I mean, I’m kind of just “eh” on this book.
For me it seemed Georgia had a bit of a sheltered life. She can’t really be that naïve and I was over the ditsy act. Even if she’s never worked in the workforce, you have to know pets aren’t allowed in the workplace….like I said, she’s a bit ditsy…(honestly I want to say she’s a bit stupid).
She become infatuated by her boss after he ‘awaken’ something inside her after their first discipline session (he spanks her).
After reading this I couldn’t help but think to myself why anyone would want either one of these people. Liam had no redeeming qualities to him. He was a surly beast who used Georgia. But that’s okay, all he needs to do is tell her that he NEEDS her and everything is all sunshine and rainbows again.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book**
A sinfully seductive, intriguing, and entertaining journey to go on with Liam and Georgia. The only thing I wish is that this story was a bit longer, but I enjoyed it!
The book starts with the hero, Liam, manipulating Georgia to work in his company as a way to get revenge against Georgia’s father. It very quickly turns into a sort of romp as Georgia brings her aggressively cheery and sunny personality to upend Liam’s world. Liam very quickly goes from looking at Georgia as a pawn in his plan to being jealous and possessive of her for himself and using any opportunity to ‘discipline’ her through very smexy interactions. I wasn’t sure whether Georgia’s naivete was feigned or not at that point and had a couple of ‘Are you serious?” moments. When I realized that Georgia hid a very minx-like personality, I was able to really sit back and enjoy the ride.
Once I was able to get into the vibe of the story, I really enjoyed the ride and how Georgia was able to upend Liam’s revenge plot in a really cheeky way.
Georgia Lavine always tries to let her happy personality shine through and when she lands a job with Liam Baxter she knows she has her work cut out for her. Liam’s surly demeanor and threats of punishment have Georgia acting outside her normal self and finding ways for Liam to implement those punishments. Even bringing her cat, Mr. Grumpy pants to work with her.
Liam has a plan, a plan that includes getting revenge against Georgia’s dad. Georgia has no clue that Liam has lured her into a trap where she will lose but he had not planned for her to knock him off his feet and fall hard for the radiant beauty.
This was hilarious. Georgia is a bit naive and I think in her world it is sunshine and rainbows, which is complete opposite of Liam’s personality. The chemistry is great and pretty much every scene with Georgia brings a few laughs.
I liked this story a lot. It’s a little out there, but it’s entertaining and enjoyable. The characters are interesting. Georgia was very naive about a great many things but I felt like it just made her sweet.

Liam was super sneaky with how he got his information as well as how he got Georgia to work for him. Georgia’s sunny disposition made her the perfect assistant for the grumpy boss and made for some pretty good laughs. I actually liked how jealous/possessive Liam was of his “Sunshine”. I loved that Georgia enjoyed poking him about her name. This was short but fun. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book. Listening to the book is also awesome. The narrator for Liam sounds HOT!
This is a cute, fun, sexy read when you have an hour or two between longer reads.
I loved the dynamics between Georgia and Liam. Georgia is the sweet, sunshinny girl that bakes cookies and cuddles her cat. While she is super sweet, she was also fun because she drove Liam crazy.
I especially loved that Liam was cranky and wanted all Georgia’s smiles and cookies for himself. He’s is the exact type of hero I enjoy, although I’d enjoy him more in a longer book that had more of a build up.
Beauty and the Boss starts out fast and the relationship is insta-everything from the start, although the recognition of love take a few days. The spanking isn’t really my thing, but I have to admit those scenes were pretty hot.
If you’re looking for an Alexa Riley look-a-like, this is it.
Mink delivers again a quality read that will have you desperate for relief! She’s dirtier than ever but she also manages to pull in the feels and the emotional side as well, balanced perfectly so your not just getting a steamy read you are also getting a story.
A huge yes from me!!!
