I loved this one! This is the first (but not last) I read from this author. I decided to take a chance on the kitschy title and was so glad I did. Beneath the fun and snark, is a great story with tons of heart. Read this one!
Hard For My Boss is a stand alone M/M romance by Daryl Banner. This is my very first book by Daryl and I am completely in love. This is one of my very favorite tropes, besides being M/M, insta. I wouldn’t call this insta-love but more like insta-lust. I loved both of these characters with all my heart and I am so excited to tell you about them.
Trevor Woodard is three weeks from turning twenty one years old. It’s the summer before his last year of college. Trevor has spent all of his high school years and college years working diligently to do his best, to get straight A’s, to make his parents proud. As a result, he’s a bit socially awkward, perhaps nerdy. And I have to add, a bit accident prone. This summer he and his best friend, Elijah, have scored the opportunity of a life time, a summer internship at Gage Communications.
Benjamin Gage is thirty-three years old and is owner and CEO of Gage Communications. It’s a company that helps celebrity trouble makers hide all their missteps from the public. Helps to fix their public image. Ben lives alone with his Jack Russell Terrier, Lancelot. He hooks up with men but has never been in a serious relationship, has never felt attracted enough to anyone to take it beyond one night.
Trevor’s friend Elijah has convinced him to go out to a bar, something he has never done. He’s sitting alone when he sees him across the room, the most beautiful man he has ever seen. Their eyes meet and hold. He can feel the connection all the way across the room. He had no idea who this man was. But he would soon be finding out.
“This scorching man has succeeded in doing precisely what my fantasy version of him promised, he commands me with just a few words, owning me with his charm, and making me forget the bumbling fool that I am.”
Ben hasn’t been able to get the young man he met in the bar out of his mind. Then on Monday morning, there he is among the summer interns. Ben is the boss, Trevor is the intern. There is no way this can go anywhere. It’s not acceptable. But seeing him in the office, watching him, its like a slow punishment he has never experienced before.
“Trevor has consumed my mind in every way. What is it about him? What does he have that all the other hot young men don’t?
I loved these two. I loved seeing the man that Trevor brought out of Ben. I admit that in the beginning, he wasn’t very impressive with the chip on his shoulder. I was so proud of Trevor for calling him out for it. I also loved watching Trevor’s confidence grow through Ben. Their connection was so strong. It baffled Ben. He’s never felt anything like this before.
“Will we ever “just” kiss, or is every kiss that Trevor and I share going to cause our hearts to pump and turn our breaths jagged?”
There is tons of humor in this. Poor Trevor and his clumsiness! But more than that, there is so much heart. I swooned, I sighed, I smiled, I got all the butterflies. This book was EXACTLY what I needed right now and I am so happy my friend recommended it to me. I am most definitely reading much, much more by this author. I already have my next book by him chosen. You’ll just have to wait and see which one it is.
Hilarious, cheesy, fluffy, and sweet! This book was a joy to read and I had so much fun reading about Ben and Trevor’s love affair and watching it turn into a real, loving relationship. This book felt like a romantic comedy in a book form. I didn’t take it seriously and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Overall Rating: 4 Stars. This was a fun book that was goofy, funny, and sexy. It wasn’t supposed to be realistic, but a wonderful story that had romance, humor, and hijinks. I loved it.
LOVED IT! Read it twice! Blush worthy, sexy, M/M romance, with a HEA.
Humor level is very high — sweetness too, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Lovely book. I love that the men form a bond.
I loved this book. Daryl Banner is a hell of a writer. He knows how to pull you in from the get go. This is the second m/m book that I have read by him and I look forward to reading many more. This story is funny, sweet, romantic, some drama.
I loved getting to know Ben and Trevor, I loved the secondary characters just as much as the main characters. I would love to get Ashlee’s and Elijah’s story. I connected to the story and to the characters. I would love to hang out with them in real life. There was one character I didn’t like.
Thank you Mr. Banner for another great read!!
Get ready for some awkwardness, lots of ways to describe Ben’s…assets…, a straight laced young man, a billionaire who gets what he wants, and a romp (or two) in the hot sun!
