Grayson“I’m not a cocky man, I merely state facts. If that makes me an asshole, oh well.”I own the most successful marketing agency in the city. Women crawl to me, and I let them suck me off as a reward. I like things my way and crave control, especially in the bedroom. Lately, a certain blonde has entrapped me, and I want nothing more than to bend her over my desk and shatter her.It would never … over my desk and shatter her.
It would never happen, though, as she is my best employee, and I am not worthy of her.
She would never understand my dark desires anyway.

“He’s an arrogant, condescending manwhore and a jerk face!”
But I also can’t stop pleasuring myself with thoughts of him either. Maybe it’s the kinky porn I’ve become immersed in, or my undersexed body, or a distraction from my reoccurring nightmares, but I swear he feels the same spark I do whenever we’re in the same room together.
Would it just be explosive sex? Would their secrets and pasts ruin any chances they had? Or, would this be their own kinky fairy tale come to life?
She’s an angel. He’s a beast.
What would happen if they finally join together?

HOT ALPHA CEO MEETS HIS MATCH & GETS A RUN FOR HIS MONEY
IN “WHAT WOULD’VE BEEN” BY CASSANDRA MAGNUSSEN. 4 STARS!
* *° °*°**°°* *° °* *°
Greyson Coleman runs Coleman Agency, a marketing firm. He a hot tempered and hot bodied CEO who drives his employees hard and expects complete obedience… from everyone. In and out of the bedroom and the boardroom. So most try and stay out of his way.
He’s also a dirty talking sexy beast without a filter. Some of that dirty talking had my girly bits standing up and taking notice. But, get in his way and he will trample you without ever looking back. He’s also insanely attracted to Adelaide Parker. The newest Client Manager at Coleman Agency who knocks Greyson on his ass and gives him a run for his money.
Addy made me laugh…. A lot! She has an affinity to avoid cussing and uses names like “crap nugget”, “Son of a snickerdoodle”, “Mr. Grumpy Pants”, Mother of a butternut squash” was a particular favorite of mine and the list goes on and on.
She was no innocent either. She had a dirty naughty side. She had the wildest fantasies about her new boss and needed to get a grip. Oh, yes, Greyson suffered from that same affliction about Adelaide. This could get messy.
With the priority of signing what could be their most lucrative client, it’s no longer a man’s game. There is a lot on riding on this. There’s a new gal in town and her name is Adelaide Parker. She knows what’s she’s doing and doesn’t hold back. This doesn’t sit well with Marshall & Glen, her coworkers also assigned to this potential client and they will stop at nothing to make Adelaide look bad. Glenn and Marshall are both vulgar and obnoxious and OMG I just loved hating them.
Beatrix and Cameron are Adelaide’s coworkers. Bea is her best friend and Cameron always seems to have her back.
Both Greyson and Adelaide have secrets from their pasts. Painful secrets that’s made them who they are as adults. Betrayal of the worst kind, depravity, lies and deceit, keep them from wanting a serious relationship. Both try to avoid each other whenever possible. Easy peasy right? Wrong!!!
Will their never-ending, electrically charged attraction, titillating dreams and secret walks on the dark side lead them down a pathway to some hot sexy time? Will they be able to avoid each other and remain professional? Or will fate intervene, throw them a bone, and give them both a second chance at happiness? What happens when lines in the sand are drawn and those lines are crossed?
All is not what it appears to be at Coleman Agency. What happens behind closed doors, in and out of the office? I’ll never tell. I will say this, unrequited love, danger, deception set the stage for a showdown with enemies from all directions.
I enjoyed this sexy romp of a read. It was funny and the characters were a lot of fun to get to know. Especially Greyson’s Stepfather and partner. The enemies were aplenty and kept things interesting.
Greyson was maddening at first and then weaved his way into my heart. He’s so alpha and what he wants he gets.
And what he wants is Adelaide and there’s no stopping him in his quest for dominance. Adelaide was such a strong character. Never the victim, always the fighter, no matter what was thrown her way. I loved that about her. I couldn’t help but root for this couple and their happily ever after.
I give this book a 4-star rating. My initial thought before reading it was that it was going most likely going to be more on the erotic side than the romantic side. It’s definitely erotic but I loved the romance and the journey towards their HEA. After finishing this book, I was a bit confused about the meaning behind the title. It was just an observation of mine, not a criticism. Just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I really did enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to readers looking for a great erotic romance with a love for alpha males and strong heroines. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I look forward to reading more of her work. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
What Would’ve Been is the second in Ms. Magnussen What If? series.
Note: The book does contain bad language, sex scenes (a lot) and depicts different types of abuse, so recommended for those 18+.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed it.
This is one HOT steamy book! The story of Grayson Coleman and Adelaide Parker was turning my fingers red as they were setting my kindle on fire! The sexual tension between these two was apparent from the start of book and it did not let up!
A bit of a taboo story as Grayson is Adelaide’s boss. Grayson so wants her to join him in his BDSM world, but is afraid that he will hurt her. Adelaide so wants to discover her naughty side and is hoping that Grayson will be the one to help her.
When these two finally decide to step that first step towards each other – holy cow were there sparks!
If you enjoy a great erotic romance – this book is for you!
Oh my erotica! What a hot book! Erotica fans, pay attention. You will want to read this book. This author is definitely the Queen of Erotica in my opinion. Also what’s great is that this book and the first one in this series are not just about the steamy scenes. There is a great story in there. For this book it’s about Adelaide and her boss Grayson. They both have had a secret attraction to each other from day one. Grayson feels like he is a monster because of his sexual desires so he tries to stay away Adelaide that he sees as innocent. Adelaide is nothing like he thinks and her desires actually match his. As they take a chance with each other they learn that there is no right and wrong when it comes to love. Each couple is different and it’s about finding your match.
This was an emotional read as well. Both characters deal with hard childhoods. Grayson with a father that left and his mother had to make tough decisions to keep food in their mouths and a roof over their head for some time. Adelaide trusted a family member that only left her with emotional scars that cause her to still have nightmares. —–Warning: This book does deal with sexual abuse.—
But if you are looking for a good story, one that will make you feel real emotion and also want some steamy scenes then this book is for you!
