Where do I start ? Oh yeah, go grab this book immediately!!
Like A Boss is Logan Chance’s Debut Novel and I’m still trying to wrap my brains with this knowledge, this book is so flawlessly written, brilliant, I can’t say enough good about it. This review is so hard for me to write because I feel I can’t give it the justice it deserves , to say I was overwhelmed by the greatness of this story is an understatement. I was drawn in from the first sentence and could not put this book down until the very last page and now I’m begging for more.
The story is set in South Beach Miami where we meet Theo Sullivan (hot,sexy,dirty talking and omg I need my own Theo ) who has just bought a bar and is out scoping the scenes when he comes in contact with the silvery haired bartender who will change is life forever.
Penelope Marks is a strong sexy and stubborn bartender who will stop at nothing to achieve what she wants. When a one night stand with her unexpected soon to be new boss changes the course of her life, we get to witness the start of the most angst filled emotional love /hate relationship between two very stubborn and determined characters.
There were times that I wanted to throw something at Theo with that cockiness that he portrayed , but in the next breath I wanted to just devour, him there are two different sides to this man and I will admit I feel hard really hard and watching him interact with his little girl Lucy melted my heart. Penelope I feel was the perfect balance for Theo, their constant banter had me hysterical and also wanting to smack them both at the same time. This story has unexpected twists that I did not see coming (great job Logan) the push and pull throughout the story had me glued to my seat wondering “but when?”
You will know what I mean when you read this masterpiece .
I talk about the banter , the angst but omgggg the SEX is by far the hottest I’ve read Theo’s filthy mouth is better than any foreplay (please tell me where I can find my own Theo ) he is definitely the “Lord of my O’s.
After reading this story more times than I can remember , I will never look at a “bar top” the same (fans self) as I’m remembering this and many other scenes I have the fans blasting on high.
This story is written in dual POV’s and Logan blew me away at how seamlessly written this novella is, his writing is brilliant and does not miss a beat so do yourselves a favor and “run ” and grab your copy today you will not be disappointed.
Side Note “please hurry up with book 2 I’m in such a book hangover right now”
Logan you’ve made it to my auto must read authors list . Congratulations and thank you for this amazing masterpiece.
Five Stars is not enough for this book!!
Really enjoyed this book. Theo and penny will have you laughing one minute and the next shaking your head. This book does end with a cliffhanger so have book two ready. This is a must read.
It was comical and heartbreaking, reading the banter between Theo and Penelope. And seeing how money changes people, was almost a night and day difference in the blink of the circumstances. Great story with fun characters!
Yes I absolutely didn’t put this book down once I started, i was pulled in. I was so turned on by the chemistry between Penny & Theo. I wore the biggest smirk on my face reading and even had a few gasps… These Chance boys and the way they end their books… Agghhhh they grab hold of your attention and leave you wanting more right now
Like A Boss is a fun contemporary romance by Logan Chance. Mr. Chance has delivered a book that is well-written. The characters are awesome. This book is written in first person, alternating point of view format, not my favorite. Penny is a bartender and slips out for a long break on the beach with customer Theo. Theo doesn’t recognize Penny as the nymph he spent time with on the beach. Theo and Penny’s story is loaded with drama, humor, sexy bits and a touch of suspense. I enjoyed reading Like A Boss up to the cliff-hanger. Like A Boss is book 1 of the Boss Duet Series. This book is a cliff-hanger though, not a complete book.
I totally forget that I purchased this book as part of a box set back in 2017!! With that being said, I loved doing a re-read so posting my review once again!!
Here is my list of 6 reasons l loved this book and you should one click today!
1. Theo
2. Penny
3. The sex
4. The Star War references
5. Was the first book I have read by a male author ( and he now has a new stalker)
6. Bonus material ( always a plus for me)
Explosive all around
I have read a few books by this author and I am yet to be disappointed! Like A Boss (Boss Duet Book 1) is no exception. While written with humor, this first book of the Duet is truly a tragedy of the hearts, but it’s so well written with comedy relief and spectacular characters that you can’t help but root for Theo and Penny.
The plot of this one is highly engaging and by the end I was left with even more questions! The cliffhanger! I’m absolutely reeling and cannot wait to devour book 2 (which I already 1-clicked!). I did not want to put this book down and I am certain book 2 will be just as captivating as this one was. Not to mention the antagonists in this one have me stumped; why, why why???? I know there’s more to their parts in this plot twist.
Overall, I was a fan of this author before, but now I think I’m a rabid reader of his work. There’s not one thing about any book I’ve read so far that did not like and at this point I’m completely invested in Theo and Penny and I MUST find out how they achieve their HEA.
Theo and Penny’s book is so original to me. I love how their love story unfolds. Logan keeps writing awesome love stories.
Like a Boss was Logan’s debut book. This is the story of Theo and Penny. Together they had a one night stand. Penny gets called away to work, and leaves Theo all alone the next morning. When Theo can’t find her the next day, he goes about his life, purchases a bar the Bearded Goat, where Penny now works. When Penny gets to meet the new boss, she’s surprised its Theo, and even more surprised he doesn’t remember her.
I’m all about this book, the love/hate relationship of Theo and Penny. Penny is snarky as hell, a girl that has a piece of my heart. She cocky and wants to prove she the best woman for the job. Theo is sexy as all hell, and has a very dirty mouth. I find he has a few cute quirks. This is a very sexy read, I know a lot of my people, the dirtier the better, so this one’s for you. I highly recommend it, if you haven’t read it.
3.5 stars.
Easy reading. Steamy and explicit sexual encounters. Nice twist at the end that helps serve up some retribution to Dex and Penny’s father.
Enjoyed
NOT A STANDALONE – MUST READ LIKE A BOSS FIRST.
Series: Like A Boss: #1 Like A Boss; #2 Love A Boss *Two book series*
Theo and Penny…..
Since book one, Like A Boss ended in a cliffhanger, I quickly devoured this one. I was dying to know what happened to cause that gut-clenching ending.
Theo and Penny’s story picked up where it left us on the cliff. I admit, I hated Penny at that moment. Little by little we get the pieces to the puzzle as their relationship slowly got put back together. Theo was in a bad place for a while and not once did I ever blame him for his behavior. My heart hurt for him.
Just like the previous book, this one had all the ‘feels’ as well. A perfect emotional roller coaster.
We do know from the first book that Penny’s father wanted to control her (for reasons we will soon find out). He was a greedy, selfish, inconsiderate piece of “you-know-what” that wanted to get his hands on Lopa, Theo’s bar. Penny’s father manipulated and blackmailed until he got his desired results. Now the dynamic between Theo and Penny has changed in more ways than one. Until we got all the pieces of the puzzle, I tried not to hate Penny, keeping an open mind. Luckily the author did not make us wait very long.
The suspense in this book was strong. There was some violence and twists that kept me guessing and engrossed. There was quite a bit going on giving us more depth to the characters and complexity to the unfolding drama. That said, the chemistry between Theo and Penny was stronger than ever since their hearts got involved. The smoldering intimacy between them was off-the-charts-sexy and
passionate. ‘Intense’ is another word I would use to describe their relationship.
I was so damn happy with the conclusion! And Penny was great with what she did. I was so proud of her! If I had one complaint it would be that I think Dex deserved another’date’ with karma. He got off too easy in my opinion.
The epilogue was fantastic! Theo and Penny got their HEA and more. I am very much looking forward to reading more by this author.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂
I read this book in the box set, but wanted to say each book in set is awesome!
This is the 2nd and last book in Logan Chances Duet Series and he ends it perfectly. I was actually sad when this book ended. I had a few moments where I had to look around and see if someone was watching me, since I know I had turned a few shades red. I’ve read a lot of sexy books before this one and I’m rarely embarrassed nor blush while reading a hot sex scene, but you hav3 those ones that do and this was now added to the list of “books that make me blush” Make sure to read Like A Boss first and then when your done with both books, I recommend continuing on to The Sex Me Novellas then you f you still want more, keep going. All his books are worth reading at least once.
Buy it! Read it! Love it! You won’t regret it!
Logan’s writing is amazing, I love to read books like this written by men, they bring something different to the writing style. I Love Thro & Penny’s story, they both have a attitude that can’t be beat. This was such a great read and full of Bossiness, sexual tension and steamy scenes. I was hooked from the first chapter and did not put it down until it the last page was read. You owe it to yourself to give this book a read.
Love a Boss picks right up where Like a Boss left off. Now that Penny is Theo’s boss and engaged to Dex what hope do they have? Penny has spent their time apart making Lopa the success that Theo has always wanted. Little does she know he’d have given it all up just to keep her in his arms. Penny sold her soul to the devil, AKA her father and her new fiancé, in order to protect Theo’s dream and more. Once they finally find their way back to each other, things get way more interesting. Theo will stop at nothing to free Penny from her nightmare and Penny will stop at nothing to figure out a way back to Theo. While I really liked the first book of this series, I have to say that Love a Boss is even better. In this book you really see both characters grow and get a little more insight into them. However Theo’s love of Star Wars is definitely a nod to the author himself. This is definitely a must read!
This book made me fall in love with the author can’t wait to read the rest of them!
If you have not read this series you need too. Like A Boss was my first story by a male author and I loved it. Read it in one day. Was a little iffy about it when it was first released but I’m glad I took a chance on this. Theo is hot hot hot and Penny is kind of a badass. Theo meets his match with her. Logan is now one of my favorite authors and I own all his books. Even though I have this series individually, I still bought the box set. You will not be disappointed in these books.
Loved the book. Logan knows how to craft a story that’s sexy, erotic, and downright HOT! It was soooo good, I had the hardest time putting it down. Thanks Logan!
