Today is the first day of my first job.I’m nervous, excited, and much too early.Which is when I meet him for the very first time.He’s a businessman with a ruthless reputation.A billionaire and a playboy.His company sponsored my scholarship.And I’ve dreamed about him in the kind of detail you can’t even tell your best friend about.That was before I thought we might meet.There is something very … meet.
There is something very cliché about accidentally throwing your drink over a god in human flesh. The throwing part is where the cliché ends for me.
He doesn’t look endeared by the incident, nor amused. He looks mad as freaking hell.
My brain freezes, mental capability flees, and I look away from his penetrating gaze,
but that brings my focus to his chest, where coffee drips down onto his doubtless expensive shoes.
I want to die. I have never wanted to die before, but if a magic wish were granted me now, I would happily cease to exist.
I’ve just thrown a full and very hot cup of coffee all over my very hot new boss.
Publisher Note: A steamy romantic comedy…sweet, fun, and hot!

I really love L.V. Lane Omegaverse ‘Controllers’ series – and this introduction to a contemporary romance from her was really great!
A lightweight and funny romance that had me laughing out loud on several occasions.
I really loved it! <3
If I were to point out something negative it would be that throughout the book I had absolutely no idea what exactly it was that Matt did for a living... 🙁
He owned a company but I had no idea what sort of company it was - what genre it was, it could be sales, art, stockmarket etc I had no idea, there was really no clues that I could pick up that explained what they did.
And I had again, no idea what exactly Emma's job was. Something to do with...research? But it was never clear to me what she did.
This tended to annoy me slightly.
This author is best known for her controller series but this is a contemporary steamy office romance.
This is a fun, quick, read that will make you laugh at loud.
There is some references to the controller series in this story which is good to hear.
I enjoyed this book and recommend you pick this up
I had a great time turning the pages on this book. The way the characters are written and developed had me engaged from the start.

Cliche number 1: Bad Boss is a great romantic comedy that I thoroughly enjoyed! Emma is both excited and nervous about starting her first job with a big firm that had paid for her scholarship. Her new boss, Matthew Dexton, owner and CEO of Dexton Corporation, was gorgeous, according to his media pictures, and she had fantasized about him for some time. But when she turned in the coffee shop she had stopped at, fumbling with her umbrella, the coffee lid popped off and dumped hot coffee all down the front of someone’s shirt – the wet and stained formerly white shirt her new boss was currently wearing – and she realized what she had done! Uh-oh.
I loved this book and laughed often. It’s a good thing the sizzling chemistry between them ignited before he fired her. And there were many more mishaps to come as Emma falls apart whenever he’s around! You will not want to miss this one! It’s fun and full of emotions as the sweet, innocent employee tries to navigate her feelings for the sexy boss! Grab your copy and have fun with this!
Wow, this short story has instant humor and heat you don’t want to put it down. What a way to meet the new boss, then only to making clumsy mistakes every time you see him. Love the characters of sweet, demure Emma falling for dominant, arrogant boss Matt; will it be a dream come true, or will it be the cliche of falling for your boss and getting your heart broken.

This a wellwritten and fastpaced story that captivated me from the start. The storyline is entertaining and actionpacked. The characters are wonderful. Can not wait for the next book in this series.

Emma was at the coffee shop before her first day of work for the company that had given her a merit scholarship that paid for her college. When she or her coffee she turned into a man and spilled the scalding coffee onto him. He is understandably upstanding the realizes the angry man is her new boss, billionaire CEO Matthew Dexton. They had never met before but she had a mini crush on the playboy after seeing his picture and now Emma was afraid of being fired. A week later he calls her to his office and this time she ends up spilling coffee on herself. Matthew has also been intrigued by Emma nd he kisses her in his office. After work the employees meet at a bar and Matthew ends up taking home and things progress rapidly. Will Emma and Matthew develop a loving relationship? What role will the neighbor’s steamy biker romances play in their life?
I give this book 4.5 stars. It was a fun read with a certain quickly developing relationship. I liked all of the well written characters.

The thing I liked best about this book is that Matt was the kind of alpha I look for – decisive, firm, a bit brusque, protective, and of course insanely hot in an impeccable suit. I expected him to find a bit more of a challenge in a woman, however. Emma was a little on the too innocent side. I realize that may be what will appeal to some readers, however. I don’t mind the innocence, per se, just the repetitive insecurity that often comes with it.
Overall the story is just like the title – a cliched billionaire boss story that many of us love with a sweet young thing and a guy that gets gobsmacked by a sweet young thing.

It was a cute short read. Nice characters, older sexy boss, young quiet, newly employed graduate. It was a funny and hot two weeks with a quick jump to the epilogue.
great characters & storytelling!
Cliche number 1: Bad Boss is a great steamy HEA. Emma is nervous about starting her first job with a prestigious firm–her dream job. It doesn’t help that her boss the super sexy, worldly, and rich. She’s had a crush on him since she saw his picture on social media, and his firm had given her a scholarship. He’s been the star in all her innocent fantasies, but in reality, he is more sinful than she could have ever imagined.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book; Emma has an innocence to her that Matt just can’t resist. The chemistry between them is scorching hot, and Emma is so clumsy around him that the situations are hilarious. I LOL’ed more than once.
This is a RomCom like no other. You need it on your shelf.
A steamy office romance with insta lust love that just hard to put down.
My first read from the author is her Controller series. And her Alpha is one of the reason I keep coming back for more. And love to see she still bring her Alpha with Matthew in this book.
But not so much with the girl. Emma feels too childish for me. I understand she’s young. But young doesn’t always mean she can’t be adult with strong character. And Emma feels too meak for me.
Their steamy scenes are hot. I read this book just in two sitting. This book definitly lighter than the Controller series. More fun to read. No worries for the angst.
Overall, my behind still sore from Matt’s spankin
This book was a quick and easy read, different from the author’s previous Controller series. The characters were fun, with an instant attraction to each other. There are lots of funny moments along with hot sexy scenes. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a lighthearted read. And I love the way that the author uses Emma’s smutty MC books as a way to increase the hotness factor.
I’m not much for romantic comedy as a general rule. I prefer my writing dark. However, I enjoy the authors other work so much that I thought I would give this book a try. Boy, am I glad i did. It’s an awesome little book! A cliche theme, as the title suggests, but done in a fresh way that keeps it from feeling tired or overused. The characters are both likable, which is a nice change since usually the ‘boss’ in these books is a bit of an arrogant sob and only known for his looks or prowess in the bedroom. This boss might be a little arrogant (and a little known for his looks and prowess), but he’s overall a really good guy, who is totally smitten with his sweet new employee. How you can be so sweet and dirty at the same time, I have no idea, but this book was just awesome! I got my sugary sweet treat and the dark and naughty I wanted. Bravo! Definitely looking forward to more from this series (if it is one XD)
This was a fantastic steamy office romance! I was hooked from the first page until the last. This story is sweet, sexy, hot, and has plenty of laugh out loud moments. An enjoyable and entertaining read and I loved every single page of it.
Oh but this was a great read! It was addictive enough I read it way too quickly! I loved how this was a fall in love quick kinda book. Also had to laugh at all the situations that the heroine finds herself in! It made for a very great and entertaining read!
Tho this author writes mostly Omegaverse her foray into something different is totally worth reading and I hope she does more like this one! It was very entertaining and made me laugh and fall in love with her 2 main characters!
So very sweet and funny!!!
Unlike L.V. Lane’s fabulous controller stories, this one is a very steamy contemporary office romance with instalove. You will have a hard time putting this one down. The characters are perfect in every way. Emma is such a sweet and seemingly innocent young woman who has a very big crush on her new boss. Emma’s inner dialogue had me in stitches. She reminded me of me when I was her age. Matt (her boss) is an intense alpha male. He is instantly attracted to Emma and has some kind of pull to be around her and make her squirm!! Their interactions were funny and sweet. And the sex was hot and steamy! I loved everything about this fabulous story.
Emma doesn’t make that great of a first impression on her first day at her new shop. She accidentally spills coffee on her new boss when she runs into him. Matt is a businessman with a ruthless reputation, billionaire and a playboy. Things around the office get pretty awkward for these two after the coffee incident. Emma manages to remain professional around Matt but it is hard to do when she can’t seem to keep her eyes off of him. There is chemistry between the two of them but they need to keep the balance between a professional and personal romance and trying hard not to give into temptation. Emma has a small obsession with smutty books and after one falls of her bag at work and Matt sees it all bets are off when it comes to pursuing Emma. Will these two give there relationship a chance?? Will they get there happily ever after?? I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading it and I enjoyed reading Emma and Matt’s story.
Let me just start off with I love this author, her books are hot and steamy with the perfect amount of dominance.
This was a great short read, that lets your imagination run. (wink)
Emma is looking forward to starting her dream job. Things would go great if only her boss, Matt, wasn’t so hot and so was so clumsy. The banter between the two of them keeps the book light and funny with some steam thrown into the mix. The characters are relatable and have chemistry. The story has a nice flow to it.
