I’m happy to read and review this in exchange for an honest review . I thought that Nigel and Sophie had a great start with their initial introduction on day one at the shows offices ! The story makes the behind the scenes of this reality show quite believable & Sophie has her hands full juggling her mission to gather info & deal with her attraction to her boss Nigel ! I’m guessing that since they work through her deception of being undercover that we will learn more about Miranda’s knowledge about Sophie’s dads will & his final wishes . Even if you miss a Texas cattlemen book , it’s easy to follow along this series.
“From Boardroom to Bedroom” by Jules Bennett is book 3 in the miniseries Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance.
Sophie Blackwood goes undercover at a reality show to find the secrets of her stepmother, who she believes is a gold-digger.
Nigel Townshend is in charge at Green Room Media and oversees the reality show. The ratings are dipping and he needs Sophie’s marketing expertise to help. He just can’t allow his attraction to interfere.
With the Desire line, attraction and passion are at the forefront of every story, but in “From Boardroom to Bedroom” that’s all this book was about. Not much seems to happen in the first third of the book (with the exception of the prologue since that was the set-up).
I found the characters lacking in depth and the pace slow, which was shocking to me since this isn’t Ms. Bennett’s usual writing style. Maybe because this book is part of a continuity and Ms. Bennett had to work with the pre-determined plotline. Sorry to say, this book just didn’t hold my interest.
From Boardroom to Bedroom is another installment in the Texas Cattleman’s Club series but can also be read as a stand alone story. This is Sophie and Nigel’s story about how lies and deception can potentially ruin a budding romance. Sophie and her brothers are cut out of her deceased father’s will and all assets go to her ex-stepmom. She is determined to find dirt in order to contest the will but what she finds is a growing attraction to her boss. Nigel is the owner of Green Room Media who is a workaholic when it comes to making his reality show a success. He doesn’t let anything distract him from his goals, until he meets Roslyn who is Sophie in disguise. The story that follows is an array of emotions, revelations, and a beautifully written love story.
I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher but all thoughts and feelings are my own.
Wonderful story
Sophia wants to find something about her ex-stepmom so that her brothers and her can get back their family home.
Nigel wants to increase the ratings for his show, where one of the stars is Sophia’s ex-stepmom.
Going undercover was the only way and with it brings a host of new problems.
Loved these two together and can’t wait to find out the rest of the story.
From Boardroom to Bedroom is the third book in the series Texas Cattleman’s Club. Thoroughly enjoyed this book with Nigel and Sophie. Sophie is just trying to get a job undercover with Nigel’s company but she is so surprised when she becomes his secretary! Nigel never falls for his secretaries, but Sophie is hard to resist! It’s hard for Sophie to get the information she needs (and not feel guilty) when she is falling in love with her boss…but it’s supposed to be just for a short amount of time! She never intended to fall for the boss! Another great book in this series.From Boardroom to Bedroom
Really fun read, with family duty crashing into fierce chemistry. Sophie and Nigel make a great work team and couple. Keeping my eyes open for what’s coming next from Jules Bennett.
Family loyalties. Secrets. “Wicked” step-mothers (well, ex step-mothers). This book has it all.
Ms. Bennett does a wonderful job of portraying all of that and showing us how love can conquer all of it!
Thoroughly enjoyed.
This story had a little deception, heat and heart. I felt so bad for Nigel. But, Jules always brings me the HEA I love. Sophie just wanted to do anything to get her family home back from the clutches of her useless/only in it for the $$$ step mom. I love how real her stories are.
Sophie undercover!
From Boardroom to Bedroom is another wonderful addition to the Texas Gentleman’s Club series. This was the story of Sophie’s journey to love. Sophie goes undercover to try to find out what secrets her step-mother is hiding about her deceased father. Meanwhile she meets Nigel and needs to work day and night with him. Their attraction is palpable and not to be ignored!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
From Boardroom to Bedroom is Jules Bennett’s contribution to Harlequin Desire’s Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance series. Sophie Blackwood and her siblings discover that their inheritance is left to their ex-stepmother and that doesn’t sit right with them. Sophie decides to uncover any and all information so they can contest the will. Sophie takes a job as a media consultant to Nigel Townshend. One thing leads to another and Sophie finds herself in deep with Nigel. Will she uncover any information to bring down her stepmother? From Boardroom to Bedroom is a standalone book in this series that I absolutely loved. I received an advance copy which I chose to review. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
What a great story in the Texas Cattleman’s Club series. I enjoyed Sophie and her brothers and was definitely on her side when she went undercover to New York to see what ‘dirt’ she could find on Miranda. Nigel, his grandmother (Dame Claire) and Ellen were also great to get to know. I liked how Nigel and Sophie (Roslyn) became close and started to have feelings for each other and I really loved when they went to his sister’s wedding, but I knew her time was limited with Nigel finding out who she really was since Ellen seemed to think she looked familiar. I really felt for Sophie when Nigel was told of her deception and equally intrigued/confused when Miranda stepped up to defend Sophie. The ending was great with her and Nigel. This was a really great story, however now I want to know what Miranda is keeping ‘secret’ for Sophie’s deceased father and will this ever come to light?
Sophie gets total makeover and new identity, so she can access anything to prove, that her stepmother shouldn’t get everything, according to her father’s will. But working for Nigel and being attracted to him, can complicate things for her.
Loved this story.
The next installment of TCC was not a disappointment. Jules Bennett weaved a wonderful love story that was all based on a lie. Sophie goes undercover to New York to work where the show is produced to see if she can find any dirt on Miranda. While there she begins working with Nigel but work soon turns to pleasure. While it is getting harder to pretend she is someone she is not she is falling for Nigel. You must read to see how the story continues to weave together
I love these Texas Cattleman’s Club books! They are fun, quicker reads that all blend together for a series. This one features sister Sophie Blackwood, who is out to take back the inheritance from their late father’s latest gold-digger wife. Sophie, however, didn’t expect a British CEO such as Nigel Townshend to interfere with her undercover work. I really enjoyed this 3rd installment of the TCC Inheritance and author Jules Bennett never disappoints! Great characters and fun, heated storyline. 4.5 stars…rounded to 5!
Sophie Blackwood has a unique problem, well more than one actually, but right now she is pretending to be someone, pretending to be someone else. Confused yet? Yep, her too. What was she thinking, agreeing to go undercover to dig up dirt on her ex Stepmother has her regretting much of her choices. The biggest one currently being, getting involved with her fake boss.
Nigel has always had a rule to never date employees, well not that he’s wanted to before. Not until he met Roslyn aka Sophie. He has never felt this way so quickly and doesn’t know quite how to deal with that. Taking her home to England to meet his family, doesn’t feel as strange as it should. But making her pretend to be his girlfriend to appease his family just might be. He has no idea what else she is hiding though.
This book is part of the Texas Cattlemans Inheritance series; I believe it is book 3. While I have not read any of the previous installments I feel like I only missed some of the story. But there are some hints and payoffs upcoming that makes me feel like I’ll have to buy forward to follow the storyline.
I enjoy Ms Bennett’s writing style and this was no exception. A shorter length novel, the story line moves quickly though not suffering in any context. 4 ½ stars for this book I read in advance without expectations, all opinions expressed are my own.
3 1/2 STARS!
Secrets, lies and steamy passion! With book three of the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance series, Jules Bennett takes us on a secret filled ride with FROM BOARDROOM TO BEDROOM. I wanted to love this book because I’m enjoying the series as a whole, but it fell a little flat for me. The characters had potential and at times had an intriguing connection, but the story line didn’t keep me interested or pan out with enough excitement or follow through.
Sophia Blackwood is at her wits end. She wants to find dirt on her wicked ex-stepmother, but to do so, she feels like she needs to go in undercover at the production company of the reality TV show that she stars in.
CEO Nigel Townshend can’t believe his luck when his new temporary assistant is actually coming up with great ideas … only problem is he’s much too tempted by her and has a no dating an employee policy!
This series is a continuing story line of a family torn apart by the reading of their father’s will that left their former step-mother holding the keys to their family legacy. Secrets, passion and temptation are around every corner. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series.
