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.

You cannot trust a JA Huss book by it’s cover. Nope. Bossy Brothers: Jesse started as a lighthearted and hilarious way. And I was having so much fun with Emma and Jesse. And then BAM! She changed the gear in a spectacular way and I am thrown into the mysterious and dangerous world of Bossy Bostons. I went from a laughing and smiling face to holding my breath from dramatic anticipation! And now I need the next books like air or water. Classic JA Huss. New book, new genre, same story.
Emma with her best friends run a renowned cosmetics company. And they actually bonded over shared hatred towards Jesse Boston who played them like a pro in one week. They have a chance to take revenge and make him feel out of control. But half way through the crazy plan of a bachelor auction, a lake house and kidnapping , the game changes. Emma is falling for him again as she finds more about the true Jesse. He is not the rich playboy everyone thinks. He has lots of anger and resentment in him. His life is far from perfect. The game of proving who is bossier soon becomes something lifechanging for both of them.
Dear lord I love Jesse. I love Emma. And of course I am in love with JA Huss’ s storytelling. Emma is so confident, beautiful and smart. And she goes all in without any hesitation or fear when it comes to her loved ones. And Jesse is a mass of contradictions. He can be charming, arrogant, playful, dominating, vulnerable, angry and protective at the same time in a totally understandable way. And the storyline was absolutely brilliant. It was a roller coaster ride. A sweet and sexy contemporary romance to the mind games JA Huss can execute better that any author.
Bossy Brothers: Jesse by JA Huss will entertain you, scare you, entice you and make you feel a whole range of emotions. It was sexy, it was intriguing, it was swoonworthy and it was complicated. Kudos to JA Huss for writing another amazing story.
Received ARC for Honest Review
Erm, wow! I totally thought that this story was a romcom but it actually turns into a deep mystery that I presume will unravel over the coming novels.
“She was the first girl – the only girl – I’d ever longed for.”
Thirteen years ago, Emma Dumas was a woman scorned. Now she’s rich, connected and ready for revenge. However, Jesse Boston is not quite the man she thought he was. All her assumptions about him are about to be blown out of the water.
“I can’t cheat. Because this isn’t a game.”
Jesse Boston is the tabloids’ favourite bad boy – even though he’s been cleaning up his image for the last five years. One reluctant bachelor auction later and his life is about to unravel.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I thought Jesse and Emma were funny with their one-up-manship and trying to out-innuendo each other! LOL. However, the plot turned from humorous to intriguing and I’m completely hooked. I can’t wait for the next novel in the series.
I will take this bossy brother! 4 stars
This is a second chance romance with a little enemies to lovers thrown in, and I enjoyed every minute of it! Emma is a strong, independent, sassy woman who I adored. She fought for her love with Jesse. I loved the peeling back of Jesse’s layers, because he’s not what he seems at first. The combination of chemistry, anticipation and one-upmamship was sizzling! It was also laugh out loud funny sometimes! Then there is some mystery thrown in with Jesse’s family that is going to be addressed in upcoming brothers’ books and I can’t wait! I definitely recommend this book if you love quick, fun, romantic books with some mystery!
I received a copy of this ebook from Give Me Books Promotions for my honest review.
What a way to start a new series. I thought it was going to be fun, light hearted and oh so sexy. It was all that and more. I should have known better than to think that Huss wasn’t going to throw all those twists and turns and have me on the edge of my seat by the end. It’s what she does best. That’s why I keep coming back for more.
This was a fun fast paced read with a dark twist to it. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments. A lot of quick wit and fun banter. I loved Emma the main female character. She may have been scorned and vulnerable at times. But she was strong and confident and knew how to take charge. The connection between Jesse and Emma was written perfectly. Because we all know who wears the pants in a relationship. 😉 I loved that we finally get a female character that comes in and saves the day.
I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series goes. Because I know it’s going to get crazier from here. Because that’s what Huss does.
And this was my favorite EOBS!! This why I keep coming back.
Another amazing read that had me intrigued from the start. Jesse and Emma are absolutely a couple that you will not forget. The way that Jesse and Emma reconnect is priceless. There is nothing like a scorned woman wanting revenge but Emma gets so much more. Another 5 Star read that had be completely hooked.
What starts as a incredibly fun, light-hearted romantic comedy eventually turns into a wickedly twisted mystery. The queen of conspiracy strikes again! Author J.A. Huss’ latest novel, Bossy Brothers: Jesse, is all kinds of fun.
This book was so easy to jump into. I was engaged with the characters from the start; no need to figure them out to warm up to them. Emma Dumas and her girl tribe are great! The girls met thirteen years ago and bonded over their spring-break one-night stands. These girls have each other’s backs no matter what the circumstance! Emma is the self-described normal/average one, but she comes off as anything but average. She’s pretty, smart, and bossy. However, her bossiness stems from self-preservation rather than a character flaw.
Jesse Boston, the billionaire who broke her heart thirteen years ago, is completely misunderstood. Yes, he played the rich party boy for much of his young adult life, but then he started flying under the radar…at least as much as his notoriety would allow. This good-looking guy with a great sense of humor and a sexy smirk cannot catch any breaks–especially in the public eye as he is commonly considered a spoiled, rich jerk.
While it is hard to imagine that a woman—let alone four women—could hang onto the hurt from an obvious spring break one-night stand, the plot premise was fun. I LOVED the chemistry between Emma and Jesse. The banter is charming and fun. Their attempts to one-up each other are ridiculous, which makes for over-the-top fun. I adored Emma’s family and the scene they were in.
Jesse’s family is a different ball game entirely. Readers are introduced to these characters, but their development is superficial (undoubtedly saved for future installments in this series). It is Jesse’s family that provides the twists and mystery. As Emma encounters the rest of the Boston family, readers are given a taste of the wild ride they’re in for throughout this series to its eventual denouement.
Jesse Boston has met his match in Emma Dumas, and it is certain that she can out boss that “bossy brother”. From sweet to sexy and comical to crazy conspiracy, Bossy Brothers: Jesse is a page-turner. It’s an incredibly engaging story that left me intrigued or laughing with each unexpected turn.
I simply adored this fast paced light hearted RomCom. The storyline kept me smiling, laughing, and at times my eyes popping open at the OMG moments. This is a very well written book with characters that I absolutely fell in love with and with surprises that blew me away.
Emma is a very rich, sassy, independent woman who thinks up a hairbrained scheme to get back at Jessie, the womanizer that broke her heart 10 years ago. Jesse is a billionaire playboy who spent his early twenties living life in a fog of drugs and alcohol. He is the youngest of three brothers who come from a very dysfunctional family and has spent the past 5 years trying to turn his life around.
When Joey, the middle brother, can’t make the bachelor auction for charity, Jessie is roped in to taking his place thinking this will help improve his image. Little did he know that being bought for the weekend by Emma, would set off a string of wild events that will change his and his family’s lives forever.
If you are looking for a funny, sexy, laugh out loud read with some aghast thrown in, this is a must read. There is so much more to be said but I don’t do spoilers, so I’ll just say Kudos to the author for a superb job and highly recommend Jessie’s story to all readers. I am anxiously awaiting book two in the Bossy Brothers series (Joey’s story) and I give 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Hilarious Stars to Book one – Bossy Brothers: Jessie
A second chance romance where the heroine resorts to crime to capture her man. Well not really, it is revenge she is after, payback for how she believes he played her and her 3 best friends. There were some seriously funny parts here and some beautifully sweet romantic moments.
I’m divided how I felt after reading Jesse. I absolutely loved the first 2/3’s but then the the plot morphed into something that had me thinking ‘is this the same book’. I’ll wait patiently for book 2 and hopefully the Boston family secrets will be revealed and answer my questions.
What the hell???? I NEED more….. there was so much intrigue, suspense, drama and laugh out loud moments I couldn’t stop reading. Emma wants revenge on the one and only Jesse Boston, youngest Boston brother and billionaire bad boy who left her behind 13 years ago. He left her with a broken heart and anger…. especially when she bonds with 3 other women he treated the same way. Jesse is stepping in for his brother at the Billionaire Auction charity and guess who plans to get her revenge along with her 3 friends??? What happens when your revenge plot goes wrong and you end up with a weekend you’ll never forget? You’ll definitely want to grab this book filled with mystery, laughs and a gripping storyline!
4 1/2 stars
I know they say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but when you see this you can’t help but fall a little bit in love…
Emma and her friends were wronged long ago. By one man. And it just so happens it was the same man. So starts the revenge plan but it quickly evolves into something much more. There’s some questionable behaviour by Emma and her friends and then a little blackmail on Jesse’s part. My favourite part involved a game of mine is bigger than yours. Emma and Jesse try to one up each other because each one has a score to settle. However people don’t always stay the same. Both Emma and Jesse aren’t the same people they were all those years ago. Once they put aside their grievances, they discover something that they missed a long time ago. The more time they spend together, the more they realise how well they fit together.
There is much hidden about the Boston family and we have only scratched the surface. Jesse has never known the full story but clearly his older brother knows something. I cannot wait to get into the heads of Jake and Johnny. I loved the banter and the interactions between the characters. There’s stubbornness and a fierce love between Jesse and Emma. Both are bossy and yet they have found their match in each other. I am eagerly awaiting the next story in the series.
I don’t know why I still get surprised every time I start a new J.A. Huss book, but I do, every time. You would think by now I would realize that Julie never just writes a second chance romance story, or a sexy rom com, or even a revenge type story. No, she takes those tropes and inserts her signature twists and turns that keep you guessing all the way to the last page!
Emma and her three best friends come up with a plan to kidnap Jesse from this billionaire auction his brother roped him into. Why are they doing this? Because Jesses did a wham, bam, thank you ma’am on all four of them one summer thirteen years ago. And now, these ladies run an uber successful cosmetics company that has made them ridiculously rich, but they’ve never been able to get over the fact that Jesse ghosted all four of them. Especially Emma, who has been harboring feelings she herself didn’t even understand, until they’ve got Jesse drugged and tied to a chair in their summer lake house.
The chemistry between Jesse and Emma is off the hook, but neither one trusts the other, so the push and pull makes for one helluva wild ride. These two are both billionaires, so you can just imagine what it’s like going on a date! The banter between the two is hilarious, the steam factor between them is HOT, and going along for the ride while they figure out how they feel about each other was damn exciting!
AND just when you think these two have it all figured out, Julie throws some pretty major curveballs towards the end that had my head spinning! Quite a few WTF moments occurred that left me with my mouth hanging open and eyes blinking rapidly. The Boston brothers are unlike any other family out there. There’s shit going on behind the scenes that even THEY don’t know about.
Get ready for one crazy ride trying to stay up with Jesse and Emma! These two end up exactly where they’re supposed to, but there’s still SO much that hasn’t been explained that I need the next book, like now! My brain is going crazy with all the theories!!
Loved this story about Jesse and Emma how the girls he dumped decided on revenge after building an empire together so funny with a lot of twists along the way looking forward to the next in the series x
Bossy Brothers is a new series by Julie and its off to a twisted start. Emma has a love/hate towards Jesse. She wants revenge for what happened 13 years ago. But she never expected to be pulled into Jesse’s world and its a very secretive world. Heck Jesse doesn’t even have all the answers.
Julie knows how to keep a reader on their toes. Bossy Brothers is filled with drama, secrets, sexy time and twist n turns. I can’t wait to see which brother is next and find out more about this secretive “world”.
Omg I absolutely loved this book. It had the same feel as the Mister books, and I loved it!! The back story for why ask these girls hated Jesse was classic, but the chemistry between Jesse and Emma was HAWT! this book was hilarious and i laughed so hard I cried at times. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!! I cannot wait until book 2!!
Billionaires, hate sex, second chances, and then BAM there’s a entire new level of twisted plot, can’t wait to read more Bossy Brothers! Just an incredibly fun reading experience. I loved Emma and Jesse’s story. Who doesn’t want a chance to get back at someone who’s hurt us? Just goes to show that plans for revenge might lead to something completely unexpected.
Finished Jesse and Emma’s story and still smiling! Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Julie A Huss – this was fun, fresh, twisty but not pitch dark 😉 – bring on the Barbie townhouse food!
Well Well Well…buckle your seatbelt and get ready for another AWESOME RIDE Book 1 of 5 I think she said, so yeah… just Bring IT!!!
Such Awesome Characters in this series, she has led us up for an awesome tell of tales I just know its gonna be a complete classic Huss mindf*ck, it flows fast and you simply cannot put it down once you start, You can’t, and in the end I wanted more of them both not that its a crazy ending just that I JUST WANT MORE lol! And you can tell she does this writing with such ease, she is a writing machine, within herself and am so very glad that she is, I love you Julie Huss and your beautiful mind, soul and every book you’ve written! And well…now I also I Love these two Jesse and Emma, they are both bad to the bone with no shame and I LOVE That.
Some fantastic Friends and Family characters built up already for what’s more to come! I Love Emma’s Mom” when she asks “Does she always Boss You Like that?” I swear I laughed so hard my husband thought I was crying for some strange reason but…hey its one ya just gotta read to know exactly why and well its called Bossy Brothers and its about Jesse and yes he can be Bossy no doubt but he hasn’t stewed for 13 yrs on a lost love, now Emma, she is one spitfire and I LOVE Her Hard, Jesse too! In Jesse’s words “Giant motherhucking Bull Size balls on this woman” and he is 100% right!! Oh and yeah and this one he said as well “You can’t drive on the Tarmac!” Bahahahahaha you’ll get my drift quick. This woman see she fell hard for this guy 13 yrs ago and she has this plan and well we all know how the best laid plans happen, especially in Huss world! Oh and Jesse he is a world known Gazillionaires bad boy son, the youngest. He has been the one that everyone knows as trouble. and that is exactly what he USE to be for sure, could’ve been his middle name. But he has changed, grown up yet he has barely left his home in 5 yrs well till that auction, yeah his brother Joey makes him take his spot in the Date Auction Charity. Yep then Jesse’s quite world filled with pretty much nothingness after he had to stop the partying, all the dumb stuff and just been become A LOT Quickly. That’s all Im say about all that because truly folks you just have to read this one, ya gotta!!!
Big Money, Very BIG Mystery with Craziness is all in the mix and that dinner thing…white dresses, yeah Julie I was thinking about a totally different story/series of the same company kind!
Believe me, folks this is an Amtrak Train you wanna jump onto quick cause its moving so fast its going blow our minds I just know it! I cannot wait to get to our other brothers stories…the stage is set to have serious doubts about his crazy family, the money and his oldest brother Ole Johnny but for some reason I was fearing someone else so we will see about all that!!
The first book is drawn in the sand so to speak, some sides have been drawn, (For sure Emma an Jesse) and decisions made and people are to be expected be in the Keys every First and Third F*cking Saturday for Dinner, that is for sure happening, the rest just leave it to Julie Huss, she is bound to have us tide up in knots then laughing, screaming, throwing kindles…just hope its one of those Kindle sales weeks or better yet maybe you better buy a spare because I think this one, this one is going to BLOW OUR Fricking Minds~~~
Thank you Julie for this masterfully written book, you are just nailing it on THEM ALL, Cont Romance, RomCom and Sci Fi!! Just knocking them outta the park and I just keep biting my nails waiting for the next one to fall on my kindle!!
I absolutely fell in Love and wanted to immediately re-read it and that doesn’t happen often, I wasn’t ready for it to be over because these people they will be all of “OURS” forever, I just know it!!!
Happy Reading, see ya after the next one!!

This book was so funny
I loved both MC characters.
Emma is a force to be recognized and just as she left her resentment she was straight for what she want it !!!
Jesse was so damn lovable, his charm and he was just so innocent in all the secrets of his family.
One of the best parts is when he meets her family.
I want to know more about the Boston family. The secrets and suspense left me wanting more !!!
What a fun, easy read for the summer. I loved the witty banter between Jesse and Emma. I was pulling for this second chance couple from the first page. While this book left me with many more questions than answers, Huss sets up this new series perfectly. I can’t wait to see what the two older Boston brothers have in store for them.
