I can’t believe I kissed my boss! And I didn’t even know it was him. When I started my new job as the social media manager for Alchemy Enterprises, I had no idea who my sexy rich “American” management consultant was.There was something strange about the way he spoke. I felt drawn to him but thought he was hiding something. He is supposed to be American but he had an foreign accent. Something was … supposed to be American but he had an foreign accent. Something was off and I had to find out what it was.
Even when I found out who he was I knew he was off limits but I couldn’t resist. Those eyes… that smile… I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right.

I knew I should stop…but could I?

I admit the first though that popped up in my mind when I started reading this book was how it reminded me of the show Undercover Boss…. I loved it. it was such a fun unique twist to this office romance that it made the reading that much more enjoyable. Lucus is such a cocky little boss that it felt great watching him essentially eat his words and Alicia is such a strong minded stubborn person that i could not help but fall in love with her character. So wish I could give a book more than 5 stars

I loved this book! It is funny and sexy and HEA all the way. It is one man’s introspective journey after a bet forces him to face hard truths about himself. Add a sexy woman who stands by him even after he betrayed her, and you have a great story! Jillian has created intriguing characters, vibrant individual and group dynamics, and a colorful background. From Australia to Texas, this book will grab hold, pull you in, and whisk you along for a tremendous ride. There are even some old friends from “Kissing the Protector”
. This is the story of Lucas and Alicia. Lucas can”t believe his employees think he is an arrogant, self-serving jerk. Playing “undercover boss” he learns they are right. Along the way he falls, hard, for Alicia. She falls just as hard for him – or should I say for his undercover persona. But Lucas is a man of his word. He takes the entire “work family” on a teambuilding retreat halfway around the world. While there, Lucas finds out he really doesn’t like the man he has become, and vows to make sweeping changes, to himself and his company. But he wants to do it with Alicia by his side. Once Alicia figures out his deception, she isn’t ready to forgive him, even though her feelings threaten to overwhelm her.
These two will have to overcome deception, betrayal, hard truths, honesty and their own pride and fears. There is someone out there that wants to bring down “the man” and the company with him. It is fast paced. The sex is steamy. The team building is marvelous. The introspection, eye-opening. You will love this book! I couldn’t put it down.
Because of language and steamy sex, this book is intended for mature, 18+ readers.

An okay read – it is funny, witty, and engaging. The plot is well-developed, consistent, and the story flows smoothly. The storyline is relatable; the characters are strong and likeable; their chemistry is instant and hot; and there is a great pace from scene to scene. Recommended.

Lucas is a successful Australian business owner who can’t believe the employees at his company don’t like him, so he takes a page from the TV show Undercover Boss and disguises himself to try and prove his employees do have a good impression of him. I won’t give any more of the plot away than that.
I’m giving this book 3 stars because there isn’t much depth to the story and you don’t really feel a true love/romance between the H and h.
I received an ARC of this story in exchange for my honest review.
Lucas and Alicia’s story. This is a very nice installment in the series. I loved this book. Good storyline with lots of emotion, drama, adventure and laughter. Very nice chemistry between Alicia and Lucas. I loved how the author made you aware of how people and situations can be so easily misjudged. Definitely recommend this book.

Sweet story and it was a quick read. Lucas and Alicia have great chemistry. Looking forward to more from Jillian Riley.
This book was better than 5 stars. Lucas was the CEO of his company and his employees didn’t like him. He went undercover at work to find out why and to see if he could get his employees to like him. While undercover Alicia became attracted to him. She didn’t know who he really was. Their relationship had crazy good chemistry. This was a fun read.

This book couldn’t be any better. Five stars aren’t enough. Lucas ran his company but no one that worked there liked him. He decided to prove every one of his management team wrong by getting four people to say they liked him, within two weeks. He lost!! Lost and desolate, Lucas didn’t give up. He set out to make things right. The romance between Lucas and Alicia was of high intensity. I want you to read Kissing the Alpha Boss written by Jillian Riley, it is wonderful.
I really enjoyed this office love story between Alicia and Luke/Lucas. The story was fun and interesting. The obstacles they faced on a personal and professional level were different and unexpected. Great read

If you like seeing arrogant, full of themselves people brought down a few notches then this is a fun read for you! Also fun is how Lucas and Alicia’s relationship develops. I laughed and I fussed my way through another fabulous read by Jillian Riley
This story is about a wealthy businessman who makes a bet that he believes he can’t lose. What Lucas believes is a sure thing somehow comes back to bite him in the rear. He dons a desguise and goes to work to determine the morale of his company’s employees. You have heard it said, “Don’t ask if you don’t want to know.” Lucas finds the truth to be unpalatable. While the book expands on that idea, it also makes one look at one’s self in the mirror. I love how the author brings the reader to view the world differently, while making the point softly. Well written with a (tiny) lesson; and while it is not a squeaky clean read, there is only one sexual encounter, and it is pertinent to the storyline.
This is another installment of the small town series from Jillian Riley,,,,,
Lucas Miller is the founder and CEO of Alchemy Enterprises which is based in Australia,,,, he plays poker every once in awhile with other people he knows in his company, Steve Dunham, VP of Operations, Beverly Powers and Simon Michaels are the other players in the game this night and the rules are if Lucas wins, the others forgo a month salary each,,,, if they happen to win this bet,,,, Beverly says her nephew, Carlos DeMott owns a therapy ranch in Falls Ranch, Texas,,,, he would have to fly the whole 250 employees to this ranch for team building, as they have horse riding and bunk houses and meeting places at this ranch,,,, the bet tonight is,,,,, can Lucas go undercover in his own company to find at least 4 people that actually LIKE Lucas as a boss, or an individual, so, he gets made up by someone he knows and walks into his company to Beverly’s office and Steve’s office and neither one of them recognizes him,,,, so, the game is now on, he goes into work as Luke Johnson from America,,,,
Alicia Taylor is a new hire to Alchemy as their new Social Media Marketing Manager all the way from New Castle and graduated from the University of Sydney and is starting at Alchemy and has never met the boss Lucas Mitchell but is at the bar one night and meets Luke Johnson and they have a brief encounter one night together and she expects never to see him again,,,, until they are in Texas and she sees the boss,,,, she can’t believe it,,,, he’s her Luke Johnson,,,,,
This was another great installment from the Falls Ranch, Texas series,,,, some great adventures these employees have at the therapy ranch and all the changes that have happened at Carlos & Sam DeMott’s Ranch,,,, if you haven’t read the first couple books, it’s really worth your time to go back and read them ,,, or, start the series before you start this book,,,, it really is a great read either rather alone or if you start at the beginning,,, some action, some adventure and some very steamy moments all add up together to be a great series,,,, looking forward to another installment,,,,,!!!

Lucas Mitchell was the founder and CEO of Alchemy Enterprises. Steve Dunham, Vice President of Operations, was dealing the cards at their monthly poker game. When Lucas bluffed, saying Steve must love him to give him such great cards, Steve promptly told him no one loved him because he was the boss. Simon Michaels, a bit tipsy, agreed with that statement, which took Lucas by surprise. No one spoke up to defend him. All nodded in agreement of the fact. So Lucas bet them that he could find four employees who liked him or he would take the entire company of 250 people to a company retreat at Falls Ranch in Texas.
To put the bet in motion, Lucas goes undercover wearing a disguise. He meets Alicia, a social media manager. When they both felt attraction for each other, they ended up spending the night together. Sadly, however, Lucas does find out that the employees love working for the company but do not really like him personally because of his arrogant attitude. Lucas was truly surprised and, with that upsetting awareness, he left the field office and never told Alicia why. Will she ever find out who he really is? Will his team-building effort help to turn things around for him?
This was a cute story and a time for Lucas to see himself as others see him. That’s not always an easy thing to do; and it often demands making changes in yourself. Can Lucas change his behavior and treat people the way they should be treated? Or will he ignore what he learns and go back to the way things were? Don’t miss this one – grab your copy and see if he can gain the respect and admiration of his employees, as well as fix the damage to his potential relationship with Alicia who may be willing to save the day for him!
Loved the book it was great, the characters and story was really good. Lucas Mitchell is an arrogant boss that likes to talk about himself. Lucas and his management team play cards once a month, and that led to a bet that he could get four people to say thay like him, and that is when he went undercover. While Lucas was undercover that is when he met Alicia, he also lost the bet. For the loss of the bet he had to pay for himself and all his workers a trip to Falls Ranch, that is when things start to change.

This book was fun to read. Lucas and the other upper management place a bet which ends up with Lucas undercover. Alicia watches a video of her new boss and starts to thinking of things. There is deception that isn’t meant to happen, mystery, and a fast romance.
