I’m really liking these billionaires in the Lords of Gotham series. This is book three, a complete stand alone, and is about Luke, heir apparent, the eldest of three brothers to inherit an outdated, but regally so, The Sterling hotel in Manhattan.
Through all sorts of coincidences, fate, karma, good luck or bad, whatever you may want to call it, Luke meets up with Lexi, thee perfect, no HIS perfect woman. Only he can’t have her now. There are several good tropes to run through my mind in here between these two. To say Lexi is a little spitfire, is probably downplay, and she does give as good as she gets. Sometimes it backfires, and she falls for Luke–hard.
This journey has a lot of feels, and I especially loved the funny bits, oh wait, the heat was super smoking hot too. Even the lawyer speak was hot, who even knew counselors had it in them?
A great read anytime, low on angsty drama, the dynamics of three brothers who grew up comfortable around each other, maybe a bit too much so LoL, now trying to find their way, salvage their father’s legacy, and finding love when they didn’t know they were looking. This will keep you entertained til the end. I read this until the wee hours of this morning, not wanting to put it down. Tristan’s journey is book 2, and Grayson’s book 4 is coming very soon, I hope.

This was a fun read. Lexi and Luke’s characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is so undeniable starting with the one stand to Lexi being hired as his assistant. The storyline flowed smoothly.

I like that this is different from every other boss romance I’ve read. Even though I haven’t read any of the others in this series this family comes across as very supportive and interesting. I think Luke was a bit too indecisive for his age and stage in life and I think that Lexi is a very compassionate person but a little too pushy when it comes to Luke. They are both very smart–career-wise, wish their story was more romance driven but it was still an invigorating ride to the finish line.

Fighting What Was Meant To Be –
Wow! Luke was a reformed playboy, who has become a grumpy workaholic with a stick up his backside since becoming a CEO. Alexis’ life was focused solely on law school, but her was thrown into chaos just when she was very close to achieving her dream. One night of unbridled passion, combined with the hand of fate, will take these two through back and forth sexual encounters, unthinkable outbursts and a myriad of emotions before they realised, they were two sides of the same coin and needed each other to thrive. Luke and Alexis story is really interesting and entertaining, and I recommend it as one of your summer reads.

Lexi is a 26 year old who just learned she would have to leave law school in her final semester because she couldn’t afford the tuition. She goes to a bar and meets Luke, a lawyer, and after they talk for a while she ends up spending the night at his place with no last names, knowing this was just one night. After a misunderstanding with her name she is given an internship working for the CEO of a hotel who happens to be Luke from her fling. He is a lawyer but left to be CEO of the hotel he and his 2 brothers inherited and he and Lexi keep their past relationship to themselves. He still has feelings for Lexi but since he has screwed up in the past he doesn’t want to disappoint his brother so he decides his interactions with Lexi must remain professional. Lexi also still has feelings for Luke and her innuendo and biting comments are fun to read. Will Lexi and Luke be able to keep their relationship strictly professional or will they succumb to their feelings? Is a HEA possible?
I thoroughly loved reading this book. The author did a fantastic job developing the characters and writing about their flirtatious bantering. I especially loved the epilogue, it’s always fun to see a little of what the future holds. I hope to read and enjoy more Deborah Garland books.

This book is the third in the Lords of Gotham series. I haven’t read the first two books in the series and at no time did I feel lost or felt like I was missing info, so this definitely reads as a standalone but book two is Luke’s brothers’ story. I really liked this story and I’m going to go back to read the first two and I can’t wait to read Grayson’s story.
Luke and Lexi meet in a bar one night and start talking. They both had a horrible day. They start talking and are attracted to each other so Luke invites Lexi over to his place. No last names were exchanged. Lexi leaves the next morning never to see Luke again, but fate has other plans. Lexi is hired by Luke’s brother to be his temp assistant. Now the woman he can’t get his mind off of is off limits. Luke decides he’s going to do anything he can to get Lexi to quit so he doesn’t cave and sleep with her again, so he’s mean and cold to her. Lexis strong and determined to stick through to the end because she needs the money. Can they both win, or will they lose the best thing that could have happened to them?

This story is a stand alone but I did recognize Tristan and Laney from the second book of the series. The Sterling Hotel inherited by the three Hart brothers is the setting for BOSSY BILLIONAIRE.
Luke is one of those CEOs that first dated a different woman every night and then ran through personal assistants because he was so difficult to work for. COO Tristan suggests a male assistant and they get a great recommendation for Alex Markham who turns out to be a woman Luke had a super hot one night stand with the night before she gets hired – unbeknownst to either of them.
I loved this couple because Luke really struggled to do the right thing and not sleep with an employee. He also has commitment issues. Lexi was down with having a one night stand but seeing Luke again made her want more nights. She wasn’t really shy about that and it pained all of us – Luke, Lexi and the reader when he had to keep turning Lexi down.
To further complicate things, the third brother, Grayson Is a terrible flirt and seems to enjoy yanking Luke’s chain about Lexi. It makes us realize Luke is really unsure of himself despite his swagger and CEO status.
I hope the next book is the series is about Grayson. He is troubled, depressed, and some lovely woman will have to straighten him out.

This was a very good read. I would love to read about Grayson when it is ready. Thank you for writing this book
This is my first time reading something by Ms. Garland and I really enjoyed it. It is part of a series, so I definitely want to go back and read the ones I’ve missed! Though I did not read the first two books, I had no trouble following the story. This story is about Luke, the eldest of three brothers to inherit The Sterling hotel in Manhattan. Luke is one of those guys that dates a different woman each night. He also can’t keep any of his personal assistants, so he is given the suggestion to hire a male assistant, Alex Markham. Only to find out later it’s the same woman he had a one night stand with the night before she was hired. I really enjoyed reading Luke and Lexi’s story. They complemented each other well and their back and forth banter was fun and entertaining. This is a good book to add to your summer reading list.

He’s the boss. But she’s calling the shots.
Can they fall in love in between all the hilarious sabotage?
Characters Luke, the lawyer turned CEO and Lexi, the law student, are entertaining, have definite chemistry and make this an enjoyable read. Their story flows well from page to page and captures your attention. A good book for your summer evenings.

We first met Luke Hart in Reluctant Billionaire just prior to him taking a leave of absence from his law firm. In Bossy Billionaire, we find him immersed in his duties of CEO of The Sterling Hotel, which he and his younger brothers inherited from his father. He is NOT a happy camper. A meeting and a night with law school student, Lexi, lightens his mood for a bit. And then she challenges him at work and at home.
Once again, Ms. Garland has given us an enjoyable pairing of seemingly different people who compliment each other so well, meet challenges together and find their happy ending. I anxiously await the youngest brother’s story and recommend the Lords of Gotham series.

This is a good read, it was not as funny as I thought it would be. Luke is a lawyer turned CEO and Alex(Lexi) is a law student trying to save to get back in school to finish her degree. She takes a paid internship and ends up working for the guy lawyer that she slept with the day she was kicked out of school for non payment.
As Lexi is just a paid intern and she wants Luke she goes out of her way to tease, frustrate and annoying Luke even after he tells her no. At times I thought she really needed to grow up and I wanted to sake her and tell her in the real world she would get fired intern or not for harassment – you would think as a final year law student she would know this. That being said while that was good storyline, characters were well developed and continued to grow through out the book, even Lexi matured a bit at the end.

The third book in the Lords of Gotham series another great story in this series, with a very good storyline. CEO Luke Hart and law school student Lexi’s story, the chemistry between these two kept me turning pages to see what they where going to do next.

They meet in a club, after both of them have had a really crappy day. Luke is the CEO of the family hotel. Lexi is in law school, working to pay tuition. Luke’s brother hires a new assistant for Luke, and surprise! They already know each other. Luke and Lexi are cute, perfect for each other, but also so funny together. She frustrates him with her teasing; he doesn’t want to cross that employee/employer line so he turns into Grumpy Gus to try to keep her away. The characters are likable, easy to care about. I’m looking forward to Grayson’s story next.

The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!
Bossy Billionaire is not only battle of the wills of two strong character but the fight of attraction.
Alex and Lexi chemistry is off the charts as their journey is full of suspense, drama and passion. This is the third book of a wonderful series that takes you in with the first word and enfolds you into the story as the characters find their HEA.

CEO Luke Hart was imposing as he walked through his luxury hotel. Lexi, a smart-mouthed law school student, needs tuition money for school. They meet one night at a bar and agree to a one-night stand, first names only. When they decide later they would like a second shot, they have no way of contacting each other.
Luke’s brother hires a new assistant for him and, because Fate makes sure things happen, it turns out that Lexi got the job! Luke doesn’t want to cross that line, but he finds it impossible to stay away from the enticing young woman! With Luke trying to do the right thing pushing her away, and Lexi needing the job and determined to tolerate whatever he throws at her, it’s going to be a stormy work environment. Will Luke finally realize what’s important in his life? Will he give Lexi a chance?
I love cute stories with humor to keep it fun. This story line was good and I enjoyed the characters’ interactions. Grab your copy and join the fun as they work out their office etiquette together.
A very entertaining read from start to finish. I love how Luke and Lexi meet for the first time. Lexi is such a sassy, strong and kick-butt type of woman who compliments the bossy, overbearing CEO Luke. The dynamics of their professional and not so professional relationship triggers a lot of angst and smiles as they try to navigate to their HEA. This story was fun to read from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it to add to your library.

They can’t stay away from each other, but Luke has something to prove to his brother so he tries to stay away from Lexi. But Luke needs to get his head on straight and realize what his priorities really are. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review
Lexi is a law student who has to leave in the last semester because of finances. She ends up meeting Luke, a lawyer, and after talking a while she ends up at his place for a one night stand. She’s given an internship working for the CEO of a hotel who she finds out is Luke from their one night stand. Luke, doesn’t want to screw this up since he still has feelings for Lexi, so he decides they must remain professional. Lexi also has feeling for Luke and she has a great time with her innuendo’s and biting comments. They are hilarious. Will they be able to keep their hands off of each other and stay professional? I loved the interaction between these two and their bantering back and forth. Very entertaining story. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
