TJ And Lesley’s Quirky Story Is About A Boss With A Fetish And His Feisty Intern!
This is book two in the Unprofessional Bad Boys series. The first book was Thomas and Hailey’s book. Book two follows Hailey’s best friend Lesley and her new boss TJ. Don’t forget to download the free bonus epilogue via the link at the end of the book.
Lesley Fischer, recent college grad, has a plan. She needs to focus on herself for now – no relationships – because she has been burned in the past. She wants to own her own business one day, but she needs some experience under her belt first. A marketing internship with a great company will give her on the job learning and eventually give her the tools she needs to launch her own company. In the meantime, her student loans have forced her to consider alternative income streams. She created her own website to sell her used panties, and it turns out there is a market for them.
TJ Morrows, CEO, took over running the family business after his father’s death a few years ago. He loves his job and wants to make his father proud by leading the company to even more success. The pressure, however, is intense. He has a board to report to and they could take it all away. That knowledge weighs on him, especially after a certain problem crept up previously. He has to be careful, because any damage to his reputation could ruin his career. He needs an outlet, though. Crazy dancing and panty sniffing seem innocent enough. Nobody gets hurt. But the panty sniffing could ruin him nevertheless.
TJ finds himself stressed and shopping for panties when he comes upon a new website. It is run by just one girl, and he admires her enterprising attitude. In an email exchange, she taunts him that she will have a company of her own and when they rub elbows one day, he won’t know it was her that he bought panties from. Her attitude pushes him enough to offer a bet that he will recognize her, and once TJ sets his mind on something he has single-minded focus. A little online investigation brings him to her Facebook page, and he likes what he sees. He loves her feisty attitude and the fact that she riles him up, and she soon becomes an obsession. It is all innocent enough, though, until he receives her application for an internship. She has a stellar resume so of course he interviews her. It goes perfectly, but then he declines to offer her the job. He knows it would be wrong to hire her given the circumstances, but when a colleague challenges his decision, he finds himself in over his head.
TJ and Lesley get to know one another as she interns under him. He is fun, rather quirky, and is unafraid to be ridiculous – hence the crazy dancing. He runs the company in a somewhat unconventional way as well, which takes a bit of adjustment for Lesley. She is attracted to TJ from the beginning and finds TJ’s kooky behavior amusing. But she never backs down and isn’t afraid to state her position. TJ wants someone that pushes back at him, and he finds himself falling hard. But he and Lesley have both been burned, so trust is at a deficit. With the potential for Lesley discovering his identity as a customer, TJ hopes to keep the secret under wraps until he is confident that she won’t betray him. Their budding relationship is tested, but they eventually find a happy ending.
TJ and Lesley’s quirky story is about a boss with a fetish and his feisty intern. The plot is somewhat complex. Some parts come across as manufactured. TJ’s character is nicely developed; Lesley’s is light. This book is an improvement from book one of the series. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between TJ and Lesley. I rate this book 3.5 stars.
I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Rating: 4/5
HEA(?): Yes!, also has Free Extended Epilogue!!
Heat: 4-4.5/5

Comedy: 3.5/5
Lesley’s Outrage made absolutely no sense to me, at all..cause she’s clearly never heard ‘pot > kettle’.
The way she responded to TJ for his fetish, I didn’t partially like that.
But other than that, I really enjoyed this book!!
This book had me laughing out loud! Super funny, could not put it down kinda book!
How could u not want to read it with the line …. Panty sniffing CEO.
When rich charming CEO TJ meets face to face the girl he is unknowingly buying panties from to yes sniff, things become a bit awkward when she is his new intern. Leslie is a bit out of the box by selling panties online to make some extra cash. When these two finally come together things are explosive and seriously hot. A defs must read
TJ Morrows is following on the steps of his father as CEO of the company he founded. As such, he deals with board members, deadlines and loads of stress. He also has a secret, the one he uses to deal with said stress, but which he must keep in the dark to protect both his job and his reputation.
Lesley Fischer is down on her luck, trying to make a quick buck over the internet while looking for an internship that pays well enough to get her out of the financial mess she’s currently in.
When these characters meet, we know it’s going to be a good ride…no, a great ride!
I just wanted to kick myself that I’ve never made the time to read anything by Ms. Wild despite following her for a while now. This book was smart, fun and über-sexy and I liked everything about it.
The writing is absolutely on point, displaying smart and sassy characters who are not afraid to say exactly what they think. I loved Lesley’s directness and her “not going down without a fight” (and a loud one at that) attitude. When she’s with TJ she’s all no-nonsense and grab the bull by the horns, except that one time. On the other hand, he’s a massive jerk, but he’s so lovable and cheesy you can’t prevent yourself from loving him and his perverted ways. They have amazing banter and I was taken by them from the beginning.
This book is a fast and fun read with some serious sexy times. That’s what you get when you have a bad boy with a kinky addiction and a flair for dancing.
Bad Boss certainly lives up to the title with all of the hilarious and decadent experiences about to go on between TJ Morrow, CEO of a company that creates and sells dog toys, among other products and Lesley Fischer, whose about to fill the available internship position.
Powerful, and sexy as hell, Tj has a secret…an eccentric hobby that could destroy everything if exposed.
Lesley, Is a hardworking, restless, ruthless bitch who gets the job done while still looking pretty. She also has a secret,… an on line side business that most people would call filthy.
These two worlds have already overlapped…. but the coming collision is truly something to behold! It went from sizzling, delicious, decadence to hilarious in 2.6 seconds over and over.
I was absolutely thrilled to see Thomas and Hailey make an appearance. And to meet Gillilan, Tj’s fearless secretary. I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment. I wonder whose next.
Loved this Rom com and just couldn’t put it down! Clarissa is a fantastic writer.
