Boss with benefits was a bad idea.
Getting pregnant by him…
Pure stupidity.
Cocky McCockerson was my first on a long list of firsts.
My first crush. My first lover. My first kiss.
When he left without a word he became… my first enemy.
12 years later he’s back from the military.
Armed with a panty dropping smile and enough swagger to charm the entire cheerleading squad.
And I’m the idiot … squad.
And I’m the idiot that agreed to let him stay at my house.
I was doing an excellent “ish” job of minding my business,
until I walked in on him in the shower.
We agreed. Just once.
Screw my broken heart. I can keep it casual.
His charm and big stick aren’t fooling anyone.
Just when my hatred was subsiding.
He secretly becomes my boss.
Guess I’ll hide this baby bump a little longer…

Mark and Kate were crazy for each other when they were in high school. Mark had done something he was ashamed of and left for the military without any goodbyes. Kate was heartbroken and she hardened her heart and never let a guy get close to her again. She was in denial about being in love with Mark. Mark knew he had done Kate wrong by leaving without saying goodbye so he mailed her a letter spilling his guts. The letter never made it to Kate. What will happen when Mark decides to return to New York to expand his business and buy the bar that Kate works at? The chemistry is there but will Kate let her walls down and give him a second chance?
Aubrey brings us a good story with a plenty of steam and some drama mixed in. As always, she delivers a HEA and this was no different and the epilogues were icing on the cake.

This was another great book by Aubrey Wright. Katie hates Mark for leaving her over a decade ago yet says they were just a fling. Everyone around them keeps telling her they were in love and she argues with everyone thinking that its no big deal but still tells him she hates him every chance she gets. This banter goes back and forth through the book. Mark comes to the conclusion that he can’t have a relationship with her due to be an investor but they can’t keep their hands off each other. Weddings, babies, secrets, lies oh my!!! The steamy scenes are good and the chemistry between these two is hot!!!
Katie and Mark dated in high school, and he was her true love until he ghosted her after graduation. Katie takes the attitude of not allowing herself to ever develop feelings for a guy again. After all, if she doesn’t get involved she won’t get hurt. Fast forward several years, and Mark finds Katie working as a bartender in the bar he wants to buy in New York. Can they hook up without rekindling the past? What happens when someone else from the past shows up?
Aubrey Wright has given us a HEA with unexpected twists and turns. Four and a half stars.

A beautiful well written second chance romance story. This engaging storyline had me addicted page after page with coming to terms with heartbreak, misunderstandings, secrets, twists and turns, intrigue, suspense, and secrets. Told in dual POV from interesting well developed characters with undeniable chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this incredible ARC.
Mark and Katie had a history and when they reconnect years later the chemistry between them is undeniable. No spoilers: this is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written tale which is filled with heartbreak, intrigue, angst, emotion, love, and is a steamy 2nd chance romance, which had me intrigued and hooked throughout. I recommend for all.

I love reading about second chance romances! Mark comes to New York after years of establishing his clubs in LA to attend his best friend’s wedding. He is the best man and decides it’s time to break into the NY scene, which happens to start with the bar Katie Marten works at. Katie was his first love that he left years ago but never forgot. Katie Marten is a fun loving bartender who is just enjoying life and not ready to settle down. In walks Mark the memories from years ago slams into her. They haven’t seen each other since he left their hometown and disappeared from her life years ago.
Katie hates that Mark has come back into her life and holds this rage against him for leaving and not even saying goodbye. She is in denial of what happened years ago, thinking this was the lesson she learned to not get serious with anyone. Mark can’t believe that he has a chance to get Katie out of his system and Katie is also of the same mind.
They both feel that a one-night stand will relieve them of the tension and they can get back to being acquaintances for her sister’s wedding.
So much misunderstanding between them about what really happened in the past. I feel Katie was a little too much in denial of what happened years ago. The story was wonderful and I loved the HEA. I can’t wait to read more of Ms. Wright’s books!

The cover is very descriptive and I love it. The two main characters had a interaction when in high school. He left soon after graduation and made his way through service and college at Stanford. He became quite the business man and on his way to more. He has a new property interest to visit and sees her there. This is a well written book and has the characters who make the twists and turns very interesting. Along with all the drama. I voluntarily accepted this book and freely give my opinion.
I will preface this review by saying this is not even close to one of this author’s best stories. It is a good story. She writes well. I just didn’t love this one as much as the others. Katie’s attitude started wearing on me. Paul was way over the top and I still haven’t figured out why he is invited to the wedding stuff. Mark was fine, just a guy running his business and wanting to make things right with the girl and be in his friend’s wedding.
Okay, so this book was just okay to me. Let me be clear, it is very well written. So well written that the two main characters aggravated me to no end. Throughout the whole book, I wanted to shout at Katie and Mark to simply talk to each other. It was very frustrating to read about them repeating mistakes, having misunderstandings that could easily be resolved if one of them simply had the courage to talk to the other. So, very well done, but not my couple of tea. If you like second chance, unexpected baby, full of angst stories, then this is for you. Sadly, it’s not for me.

it was a love/hate but with a mix up of feelings and unknowns along the way. the added dramatics from paul only added to the story. great read.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
I really liked the plot in this story, was and interesting hate to lovers romance, Mark and Kate were high school sweethearts and then he just ghosted her, now he’s back and their feelings and emotions are all over the place. I liked Mark, Katie was definitely harder to like, overall an entertaining story.
This was an amazing read.
I loved Mark and Kate.
Their story had me going through the ringer… what seemed perfect in high school had devastating results when Mark left and broke Kate’s heart.
Fast forward 10 years and Mark is back.
But it’s not such an easy reunion.
There is so much hurt and both have put up walls to protect themselves.
Do these two have what it takes to overcome these obstacles.
Definite page turner.

As usual, Aubrey Wright delivers another great story. This book follows Boss’s Baby. The main characters are likeable and well developed, and it was great to see Cassidy and Josh again. I always find myself extra invested in the story when I’m already familiar with some of the characters. It was a good, fun read. I definitely recommend reading Boss of Me.

I really enjoyed reading Mark and Katie’s story. Their history creates extraordinary chemistry between them but there’s a lot in the way. With some humor, love, and drama they get their HEA.

Katie and Mark were a couple and in love in high school until he just up and left to enlist. Because Katie’s heart was broken her relationships became one night stands. Mark came into her life later and they both had problems with communication, especially a letter he wrote to her explaining why he left her which she never received. Several surprises at the end. Great read!
