To make my dream come true I’ll do anything, even put up with an a$$hole like Leandros Kaplan. Four years, five tops and I’ll have enough money saved to stop working and write full time. I know lying to him to get the job is crazy and stupid. It’s as crazy and stupid as the requirement for his new assistant to be married. I’m not married, and I’m not like his past assistants, the ones who dropped … dropped sexual innuendo daily and then would hand him their underwear when he asked for reports. I’m a freaking virgin at thirty-one.
I swear I never thought I would fall for him, it doesn’t matter that he’s a gorgeous Greek god billionaire, he’s also a jerk who takes pride in being ruthless and cold-blooded. He’s so out of my league we don’t even play the same game. He’s into dating double zero models. There’s no way he would ever be interested in a plus size like me.
When he finds out I lied I’m not surprised he wants his pound of flesh, I’m surprised he wants it in the form of my flesh, naked for him. The retribution he demands is me, whenever, however, he wants my body. I’ll give it to him, everything he demands. He doesn’t want my heart or tears, only I can’t stop giving him both, and it’s slowly tearing me apart. Can he ever forgive me for lying or will that one lie be the end of us?

I LOVED this book! It grabbed me and pulled me in quickly! Alexa need a new office job and her friend and neighbor helped her with getting a job as the Personal Assistant to Leandros Kaplan. Only problem is she’s single and the requirement to work for Kaplan is to be married! Can one little lie overcome the intensity and fire they both feel for each other?
If you love BBW Billionaire romances then this book is for you! One click!
cliff hanger
It was Ok. Take out the “f” words and not much left. He doesn’t trust, she is afraid of everything. What could they possibly have in common
I’m not sure how this book sucked me in but it did, lol. Leo is a total douche bag and needs an assistant because all the others he fires or they quit, due to his high demands and just plain meanness. Lol. In comes Alexa, who pretends she’s married, as it is a requirement for the position. However, for some odd reason, Leo is the one who is crazy attracted to her! And it is driving him crazy and he NEVER sleeps with any of his employees. Needless to say, when her secret comes out, Leo is furious and wants payback, Lol. I’m not sure if I would have stuck around. I mean he was pretty awful to her, he had his reasons, and I get it, but dude…he was just mean until he got wayyyyyyy better, Lol. Very well written and it kept my interest throughout the book, read it in one sitting! 3.5 stars
This was fun to read. I love stories with a strong female character. You never quite knew what would happen between the main characters. The sex scenes were steamy.
Only got through the first couple chapters. Not my cup of tea
Poorly written (grammar, spelling, punctuation errors throughout) and only mildly interesting. Must have bypassed the editor on its way to print.
The ending was just dragging on but it was a good book
Good read. However, it could have been edited better
Sexual tension that keeps you turning the pages.
Loved the story and the well drawn characters. It’s one book I plan to enjoy reading again.
Loved this book!!
Slow start but then finally got steamy
Did not like the ending. Left me hanging.
It was fun!!
This wasn’t a bad read, I would have liked more plot but still I have to consider the genre here. There were some repetitive sex scenes that started to bore me. Still I got invested in the characters and was duly entertained.
Great read
Leo was raised in abuse and lies…Alexa in a loving home until losing both her parents and a sister. When Leo finds out the she lied to him and wasn’t married things take a turn for the worse. Can they open their minds and hearts to find love and happiness or will they lose it all. What a journey they take!!
This was a longer story from FM and took a bit for me to get into the groove with the characters. By the end though I was fully engaged with them and the story and was very happy with the conclusion to their story!
In the end it gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings – it just took a while to get there. Good value for the word count though – this is not a short story so you shouldn’t feel short changed.
I felt that the characters drew me in the more I read of the story and that they developed as well. Especially in the case of Leandros – he was rather cold at the beginning but warmed up and I started to like him more and more as the book progressed. Also, the author plays him very formal – I feel like this is because English is not his first language (?) and therefore he uses quite formal wording. At first I was a bit confused by it but then figured out that must be what she was going for with his dialogue. Not a big deal but just something that tugged at me as I was reading.
If you like a good office romance filled with complex characters and a good heat level then this one will be for you!
PS – this is a safe read with only a mild exception at the beginning. No OW/OM drama or any scenes with other women/men which made for a great read for me.
