Thirteen years before Emma Dumas bought me in a bachelor auction to teach me a lesson she stole my heart down on Key West. I fell so hard for this girl I made all the promises. Only with Emma, I really meant them. And then I disappeared. But it wasn’t my fault. Let’s just call my reason “Family Business”. I’d tell you what that business is, but then I’d have to kill you. Just kidding. I can’t … is, but then I’d have to kill you. Just kidding. I can’t tell you what my family business is because it’s so secret, even I don’t know.
My point is… I didn’t ghost. It was a weird twist of circumstances. And OK, yes. I did hook up with pretty much every girl on the island that week. But after I met Emma, I was ruined. She was the only one I wanted.
It’s been thirteen years. I’m a changed man.
I STILL want her. I have ALWAYS wanted her.
But it’s kind of hard to tell her that with a gag in my mouth and a hood over my head.
Bossy Brothers: Jesse features a bachelor auction gone wrong, four smart ladies who botch a crazy revenge kidnapping, a power dream date with fast cars, private jets, and expensive yachts, lots of ex-sex, and a happily ever after that proves… sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.

Loved this book it’s funnywith a lot of twists along the way Emma is great and Jesse is not so bad as she thought this is the beginning of a series and I can’t wait for the next one
Great book!! Definitely worth a one click..it’s rom com but so much more.
5 INNUENDO STARS
Great book and even better because it got me literally Laughing out loud.
I laugh so hard reading some of these scenes. The light banter between the characters, the twisting plot, suspense and the whole trying to figure out what the heck is happening on the Boston family was the perfect mix for a refreshing read.
Great sexy scenes not at all overpowering the story, so you get the right anmount of sexiness and whole lot of sexual tension and eyebrow raising!! LOL
NOW please can be fast foward the time, I’m counting the days for the next one!!!
Everything about this book was so good from their past to how they reconnect years later. How Jesse and Emma interacted with each other was so entertaining I could not wait to see what would happen next. I so enjoyed the power plays toward each other by the both of them. First book in this series and I am hooked. I cannot wait to see what is next. JA Huss is one of my favorite authors and this book is a great example why.
Sooo…if you have read JA Huss before then you know what I’m talking about when I say get ready…as per usual this author is able to create a world that is twisty and turny, it will make you laugh, cringe, and wait on bated breathe waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Bossy Brothers: Jesse is newest book (and the first in a new series…YAY) that brings us through the bitterness and resentment that a broken heart can cause…even after 10+ years. It is a second-chance romance that will have you constantly going back and forth between rooting for Jesse and Emma to get their HEA and then wanting to punch them both. Neither are perfect or innocent for past and present hurts but neither can completely let it go either…
This is definitely a wild ride that will have you scratching your head, squirming in your seat and permanently attached to the pages to see what happens next. This is a perfect time to get started so that you are ready for the rest of the series!!
I LOVED this book Sooo much!!! I LOVE when this author creates world’s like this!! It kinda reminds me of the Misters series!! Which I absolutely LOVED too!!! I can not wait to meet the other Bossy Brothers!!!
I love this book. It had me laughing. I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what happened next. Emma and Jesse made an awesome couple. They went back and forth with one another. It had me smiling. They each thought they had to play a game to get back at one another. When finally they were done playing games. highly recommend reading. Emma is sassy and bossy at time. Jesse is sexy, He had it rough. I like reading about his past and what happen to him. It all made sense. The ending was a surprise to me. definitely didn’t see that coming but loved every minute reading this book. Cant wait to read whats next.
I do love a great “mysterious” but snarky, fun read. One by JA Huss, even better. The Bossy Brothers series promises to be a riveting “What the heck is going on?” series not unlike others she has written. Emma and her friends have bonded….over the jerk named Jesse Boston…and in the years following have created a super successful cosmetics company. There is one thing they’ve not all be successful at…and that is the sweet revenge they need to visit on the arrogant playboy, Jesse Boston. Emma will have her hands full though and little does she know, her entire world will be flipped upside down. By “feelings”, by a world she can’t understand and shouldn’t know. Every time she tries to take control, somehow she gets one-upped. While I felt for Emma….a tad…It is Jesse who pulled me in…who had me feeling badly for him, despite how he was and what he did. In the end, an enjoyable read that has me waiting patiently for another brother to take center stage.
What on earth did I just read?! J.A. Huss does it again. She is a master at mixing suspense with romance. You never know what is going on until the very end and I just can’t stop reading! I need the next book now! I love Jesse and Emma!
How can I resist a story of 4 girlfriends, headstrong self-made billionaire entrepreneurs with Ritchie-rich mysterious bossy brothers too?
This story is s one upmanship, love/hate revenge story with s twist. Julie makes it exotic, fun, and sexy. Emma and Jesse have unfinished business from a tryst 13 years ago in Key West.
They need to resolve their beginning. Character development in this book is so sweet, I want to read about the stories of Emma’s partners and her family as well as more of the Boston men. How can you not?
Why 5 stars? Because it held my attention from start to finish. It left me wanting more. Makes me hope for the narrated version. It was dreamy because of their wealth and power. I want to know more about The Way. The “so hot” cover should draw you in. The story doesn’t disappoint.
Are you ready to jump into another world that could be only conjured up by the creative stylings of Ms. Huss?
I know I did!
A one night stand gone bad, turned into a profitable endeavor for Emma and the other women left behind by a wealthy, smooth-talking, party boy Jesse whose is still on Emma’s revenge radar 13 years, and rise to the top success later.
Jesse has been working on his party boy, image over the last five years, trying to keep a low profile until his brother Joey asks him to stand in for him at a charity auction. He grumbly does as he is asked, thinking the worst that will happen is everyone will still see him as a horrible person and not bid on him.
Yes, well he could only hope- Emma has 13 years of revenge rage built up as do her friends- let the innuendos, cage fights of wits, mastery of sensual overload, and hate to love vs. love to hate throwdowns commence!
Talk about giving my brain whiplash! Ms. Huss took the Enemies to Lover’s genre twisted it into a wickedly witty, high octane heat, fabulously detailed storyline with mystery, suspense, a curiosity of other characters, all leaving me needing more- of everything!
A one sitting cover to digital cover read – Jesse Boston has taken up residence in the favorite male spot- I look forward to reading Joey’s story next!
5 Waggly Stars!
Book 1 in a new series from Julie, and as I’ve learnt from previous books, expect the unexpected – what started as a funny easy read turned into something much darker with a major twist of WTF at the end!!
13yrs ago Jesse was a playboy with a lot going on, he went through many different girls, 4 of which turned out to get together and go into business becoming massively successful. One of these girls, Emma has never gotten over Jesse and comes up with a unique kidnap and revenge plan to get her own back on him.
Of course their chemistry is smoking hot and there is some brilliant witty banter between these two as they battle it out! Emma is sassy and fierce and can certainly hold her own against Jesse, and their antics and attempts to outdo one another had me laughing out loud.
Then you get the biggest plot twist and the whole story is thrown on its head, as the tale takes a turn for the dark side with drama, mystery and suspense, paving the way for further books in this series.
This was a great read which I couldn’t put down and can’t wait to read more about Jesse and his brothers. A fab start to a new series.
5 Stars
Wow. This book started off light, playful and quite funny, but Huss quickly throws her twist on things and has you guessing and on the edge of your seat. At age eighteen, Emma was scorned by none other than the youngest Boston brother, Jesse. Today, she is the CFO for the cosmetics company she and her four started and highly successful. Jesse Boston grew up a spoiled rich kid with nothing better to do than race yachts and party til he dropped. Having cleaned up his act in the last few years, he still finds himself under the scrutiny of everyone.
The writing is magnificent, the sex is scorching, and Huss’ ability to tell a story is nothing short of amazing. I know I’ve read a great book when I am so immersed everything else goes unnoticed. Dinner? Whatever, you won’t starve. Eat a poptart lol.

Jesse and Emma shared a couple of nights together 13 years ago and Emma fell hard for him. So when he up and disappears he leaves Emma hurting, but that’s nothing compared to how she feels when she finds out she’s not the only girl to fall for his lies. Fast forward to now and Emma still hasn’t had any closure. She’s still holding a grudge/obsession when it comes to anything to do with Jesse. When she gets the opportunity to get her revenge, her and her friends hatch a mad plot to kidnap him to help her move on. It all starts to go wrong when Emma realises maybe Jesse has cleaned up his act and isn’t the same guy from the past. But things have been put in motion and now both of them have to see this thing between them through to the end.
This is a quick, enjoyable romance that’s very entertaining and a great start to the new series.
Player Gets Played and Second Chance Thriller!!
Emma is one-quarter owner of a cosmetic company. She met her three partners when they were all “dumped” by Jesse. Jesse found his “one” when a family matter unexpectedly forced him away. When Emma and her partners plot revenge – we are treated to a roller-coaster ride of a story.
Some pieces are heart-wrenching, others full of hilarity. This is pure entertainment, and if these two ever stop kidnapping or blackmailing each other they may find what they have always been looking for.
Absolutely brilliant story-telling and character development. I highly recommend this read!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
A new series by the master of twisty turn stories, JA Huss. This is what I thought was a rom-com read. Then the bait was set. What bait? The bait to suck you in and go WTF? Now, you may think this is a bad thing, but it really is not. If you are a fan of Huss books then you will know you are about to go on the ride of your life. This book is, in my opinion, the start of something way bigger to come.
Okay, let’s get on with this review.
Thirteen years ago a very young and messed up Jesse Boston was in Key West and meet and hooked up with 4 different women. The women met up and became fast friends and they bonded over their hate for Jesse Boston and what a jerk he was to them. The 4 of them now have the 5th largest cosmetic company in the world.
Emma is the one that still has feelings for Jesse. Most days it is hate, but on those days she remembers back to that special time with Jesse and wonders what could have happened.
There is a charity auction and Jesse is one of the bachelors to be auctioned. With the girls having more money than they know what to do with have come up with a plan. The first part of the plan is to get Jesse in that charity auction. Jesse doesn’t come cheap. Then there is the kidnapping. What happens after that? You have to read the book. I don’t want to spoil anything for you.
*4.5 Stars*
Man! I don’t know how Huss does it. Jesse seemed like it was going to be good, old-fashioned, contemporary romance with some revenge humor and second-chances rolled in. Then it became something else. Something more. And I absolutely enjoyed the ride! I’m going to admit right now to NOT knowing what the heck is going on at this point. NOT.ONE.THING. But Huss has me hooked. I’m eager to see what her devious mind has come up with for us this time. So even though I thought this was going to be one thing and it ended up being so much more, I’m invested in these Boston boys. I can’t wait to see how things work out for them!
This is the first book in the new Series, Bossy Brothers. Wow! I love JA Huss’s writing. And Wow!!! I love this story! This is more than a romantic comedy, this is also a great romantic suspense. I love the characters, the storyline, and the twists and turns. Jesse and Emma’s story is fun, and mysterious. Emma is a wonderful character, sassy, fun and bossy. Jesse is so handsome! They are perfect together, and I love their chemistry! The cast is amazing. Joey, Johnny, Zach, Mila, Hannay and Natalie are wonderful secondary characters! This was an entertaining reading. Now, I can’t wait for the next book in the Series, to know what happens next, and to know more about Jesse’s brothers, Joey and Johnny. This is also a story that I would love to listen to in audiobook! I highly recommend it.
Woot woot woot!
Ok I’m done wooting! This book was fun and twisty! It had me at the first page.
First and foremost, the girls in this book ruled big time! That being said, it takes nothing away from Jesse, the main male character or diminish him. He stepped up to the plate and came into his own in a big way. But it was the girls, led by Emma, who took charge right out of the gate and it did a body good and as a female who loves strong female role models, my ego soared, I kid you not. As I got further into the book the fun I was having with the girls took a turn onto a twisty path that involved the Bossy Brothers. I’m talking WTF twisty. These are the kinda men I love. The kinda guys who are strong, independent, with an air of mystery. I just like strong characters with a strong storyline where I can’t guess what’s coming at me next and this is exactly what one my fave authors delivers.
Now for the EOBS (End of Book ‘Stuff’)…..wowza! Julie laid it all out! This was a no holds barred JAH at her best and I loved it. My lips are sealed. You’ll have to buy the book to get my drift. Just know it was scorchin’ great! And Julie also gave me a glimpse of what’s to come regarding future books….yes! O.M.G. That deserves more woots! Julie take a bow!
This book started out light hearted and hilarious but soon it became more of who had the power. I must say this book was a lot of fun to read until it got dark… Family secrets come out and honestly my heart broke for Jesse.. He found his purpose in the family and is isn’t nice.
Emma and her friends are out for revenge and have plotted a plan to kidnap Jesse Boston. He broke their hearts 13 years ago and none of them have forgotten. It goes a little deeper for Emma though.. she caught feelings, strong feelings. Her and Jesse have a complex yet fun weekend together. It was a battle of who had more control and showed off their money the most especially on Emma’s part. I did feel for Emma though. Her friends were all about the plan but didn’t consider Emma’s feelings at all. She and Jesse have a connection and its strong. This book was fun to read and kept me up most of the night.
