While down on her luck, Ashley meets a handsome stranger…
When down on her luck curvy Ashley Monroe takes a waitressing job at an event at the Boone Art Gallery, she’s told one thing — stay away from the mysterious and brooding man sitting by himself. Easier said than done for Ashley who finds herself inexplicably drawn to the gorgeous stranger.
She decides to spend the evening doing things … the evening doing things she normally wouldn’t–like letting herself be seduced by this enigmatic man she only knows as Xander–and unknowingly opens her world up to the lavish lifestyle of beautiful mansions, fast cars, and expensive clothes, because whatever billionaire Xander Boone wants, he gets.
Meanwhile, Samantha Mayfair has known billionaire playboy Drake Winslow her entire life and despises him… mostly. Growing up as the daughter of his nanny, they lived in two different worlds under the same roof. Samantha knows Drake would never fall for a girl like her, but when she catches his eye, are his plans to add another notch to his bedpost, or is he really ready to change his ways?

Samantha has started a catering business. While on the job, she sees Drake Winslow. When they were kids, she had a terrible crush on him but he was older and laughed at her. Once redheaded Sam sees him again, nothing has changed, except that she hates him for what he did to her. And because he is a player and womaniser. Drake is smitten with her and pursues her madly but she keeps rejecting him. Another great book in this wonderful series.
Ashley meets Xander at an event that she’s waitressing at. Later she answers an ad and it ends up being for him that she is working for. Sparks fly between them and Xander refuses to risk Ashley so he gives her a car. Ashley is stunned when he also provides a brand new wardrobe for her job. Its not long before things heat up between them. Then just as suddenly as it started Xander pushes her away. Will he explain what’s going on? Will Ashley give him another chance?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

A well written book with an interesting story line. The characters are strong and the story flows quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed reading this story.
A great book full of romance. This was such an interesting book, as it followed 3 threads of romance, not just the story of Ashley and Xander. An unlikely pair but it just goes to show that curvy girls can have just as much fun and be desired as the skinny ones. Thankfully, the media doesn’t control men’s desires and tastes. Then we come to Drake and Sam, then Tara and Mason but their story is just beginning in this episode. All their lives are somewhat intertwined, which makes this novel interesting also from a social point of view to experience how their lives are connected to each other.
All the characters are well developed and described and the style of writing is good, it flows well and maintains the reader’s attention. The dialogues are scene and character-appropriate with good use of language with decent editing There is plenty of tension points well spaced out throughout the book and the romance description is hot. We get two HEAs in this book with cute babies. I would gladly recommend this novel and am looking forward to other works by this author.

An enjoyable romantic well written story. It about two couples that are intertwined within the same story. This smooth flowing story includes well developed, relatable, passionate characters with a mix of some steamy hotness. A great series starter . I voluntarily read and reviewed this incredible ARC and can’t wait to check out more in the series.
This book is perfect for all you lovers of billionaires falling for working girls. In MY BOSS’S WHIM, there is one story, but it covers two couples. They are connected enough to make sense, but each couple has the spotlight during their story.
Ashley and Xander meet when Ashley works for the caterer at a gallery opening of Xander’s art gallery, one of his many businesses. Xander is gruff and rude but Ashley takes a chance talking to him anyway. There is instant attraction, but Xander has a secret that keeps him from pursuing Ashley. He fires her from a job working for him and his friend Drake agrees to hire her.
Drake is a movie maker and big Hollywood “name”. He’s the guy with a different girl every night “because he can”. Samantha is catering a wedding and they both realize they know one another from her mom being Drake’s nanny. Samantha refuses to give in to Drake’s attempts to date her and he’s frustrated with the challenge she poses.
This is the kind of light, low angst, uncomplicated story you like to read at the end of the day to indulge your billionaire fantasies. Both guys are so different from the way they present themselves to the world. Enjoy this first book in a series that will cover other couples they know. This is a stand-alone, no
cliffhanger book.

This book had the two couples in it. The first was Ashley and Xander. Ashley took a waitressing job at an art gallery and was told to stay away from the man by himself. Xander felt things he had not felt in a long time with Ashley. The other couple is Samantha and Drake, they came from different places but the same place. You just have to read it to find out. This is part of a series and I cannot wait to read more. I liked the characters and the plots.

Great storyline with some fantastic characters. There are major and minor characters that find love. There is a nice flow to the story. You have Ashley and Xander’s story and then there is Drake and Samantha’s story Was fun to watch these couple overcome their hang ups and get to the HEA’s they both deserved.

I have found a new author to enjoy. Ms. Rhodes weaves two books together to make one great novel. The POV’s of each character is so unique to them and it made the storytelling richer. Xander and Ashley. Drake and Samantha. These two sets of characters were a lot of fun to read. I liked the flow from one book to the other.
Though they were separate, the connections were clear.
I am looking forward to reading the other stories of romance prompted by these two.
Cherrylily ARCs has written a 5-star book. In each of the stories, Xander and Drake have problems that they must overcome in order to get their ladies. Xander is in love with Ashley but he feels like it is a betrayal to his late wife Darcy. When he sends Ashley to Drake and they act like a couple Xander gets upset. Xander ends up telling that he can’t live without her and they get back together.
In the story about Drake, he knew Samantha from when he was younger and he never paid any attention to her. He sees her again at Ashley’s and Xander’s wedding and he tries to talk to her but she doesn’t want anything to do with him. Samantha is starting up her own catering business and Ashley calls her to asks her to do a black-tie event at the museum that she works at. Samantha tells her that she can’t do it because of Drake. Ashley tells her that he won’t be there. Drake goes to the event and it doesn’t end well for Samantha. She ends up going home with Drake but leaves before he wakes up. He tries to call her but she won’t answer his calls.
Will Ashley and Xander have the life they want?
Will Drake ever get Samantha to talk to him or will she continue to ignore him.
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Xander courts Ashley. He is very charming, but has suffered the loss of a loved one.
Drake has known Samantha, since they were children. His privileged background led him to mistreat her when they were younger. His playboy persona prevents Samantha from trusting him, when he says he wants a real relationship with her.
I enjoyed reading about both these couples.

“I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.”
The author has given us characters we can care about. This book is more like two stories since it involves more than one couple. The characters are well written and pull you into their lives.
