Bossed Around

by Laura Olsen

He’s hot and he’s cold and I can’t figure out what he really wants.

But whatever it is, Mr. Bennett will have it.

My new boss is the hottest 38-year-old bachelor on the planet and probably one of the richest too.
Seems too good to be true? It is.

One minute he tells you to call him Alexander, the next he destroys you for not meeting his ridiculous standards.
Now I have to spend two high-tension weeks with him on a business trip.

We’re staying in the same suite.
And neither of us is taking the couch.

He turns my life into a fairytale and then betrays my trust.
I just can’t figure out what is going on in the head of Alexander Bennett: My Best Worst Boss.

Read til chapter 3 when I decided to send it straight to jail.

Honestly I wasn't surprise because the first time the fmc met the mc, she was so lustful she can't think straight. Kept thinking about him in a sexual way like guurl get a grip. I get it he's attractive but control yourself.

Also the way the story goes I knew I wouldn't like it soo neeext!

Alexander is the billionaire CEO Olivia will be working for as his assistant. It's going to be a problem as he is gorgeous. The sparks sure are flying between these two. Will the sparks ignite?

The title kind of tells you what you are up against so hang on once you start it trust me you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned and the banter between the two of them is so entertaining you will find yourself laughing out loud at some of the things they say and the shenanigans they get into. Alexander sexy as all get out grump boss who runs hot, cold, lukewarm, most days those that work for/around him usually do their best to stay out of his way or off his radar and when he sets out on what of his issue power trips everyone feels it especially those who work close with him. Olivia is a sweetheart with really thick skin to deal with her boss on a daily basis, who happens to be the jerk of the year nit picks ever thing she does finding something wrong with everything she does snapping to triple-check everything every time, and when she sets her mind to something or feels she is being challenged then it is game on lets go and that is how it all started. So, when I say entertaining well hang on the entire office is cheering her on to considering she has gotten under his skin in a way that drives him absolutely crazy the fact that they push each other bring out the best in each other. The magnetic pull between them can be ignored and the more they try to ignore the pull the stronger the pull between them. They are more alike then they thought but is that likeness enough to keep them balanced, will it keep them challenged, will it pushed to keep doing better, where are they headed business wise, and can they find happiness somewhere in the craziness?

Poor Olivia, her new boss Alexander is hot as hell and incredibly rich but but he is arrogant and blowing hot and cold. One minute he is being nice and the next he is chewing her out; he is more of a boss h***e than anything else! But he is attracted to her and that makes him harder on Olivia than the other employees.

However, a connection between them cannot be ignored and when a business trip for two weeks, with them sharing a suite comes up it becomes obvious that there are real feelings involved. It was a well writen book and there were some steamy moments but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a nice story to delve into about Alexander and Olivia's world. From the moment she came into be his executive assistant, she felt drawn to him.

Alexander tried to keep things professional, but he let his guard down around her. It was a very fragile relationship. Getting involved with someone you work with, and happens to be your boss can ruin lots of careers.

This story has passion, angsty, business, longing, and real life pain. Its a roller coaster of a ride with these two. Even when you know there is that person that chances you from day 1, sometimes life isn't that simple.

Check it out and tell me what YOU think!

I think this is my first book by this author, and I have to admit there were times I struggled with it. But I pushed through, and I am ever so grateful that I did because it ended up being a great read.
What I struggled with was mainly Olivia. She wasn’t an easy character to like for about 70% of the story. But then she seemed to come into her own and I found myself nodding along in agreement with quite a bit she was saying.
But from start to finish Alexander had my heart. Alpha most of the time, but showed his softer side as well. When Olivia wasn’t on my nice list, I thought Alexander was way too good for her. But by the finish I absolutely loved these two as a couple

Boss Alexander and employee Olivia have a strong chemistry but she can not tell where he stands most of the time. Feelings and emotions get twisted in knots during working hours. Will the business trip be the deciding factor of whether it will work or not? Sharing the same suite will either make or break the connection for good. Terrific characters, backstories, drama, surprises, secrets, revelations, entertaining situations and steamy moments all combine to keep the pages turning. Terrific ending.

Trust issues are plenty between Alexsander and Olivia. Alexsander is Olivia’s boss and he tends to be a little harder on her than he normally would be. He has an attraction to her, but when they take things to the next level, he goes even harder on her, and becomes like Jekyll and Hyde! He is closed off at times and then the next minute he is all over her. Olivia does her best to keep things professional, but she is drawn to him as well, but doesn’t want to get hurt again.

Olivia and Alexander's story is an explosive journey that heats up and sparks from the moment they meet.

Alexander is a demanding boss, that pushes all that work for him. Olivia is not sure how to read Alexander, with one look sets her skin on fire, but his actions is ice cold.

Great story as Olivia and Alexander story is an emotional ride as fight against the wall each of them have built up to protect themselves and the desire of what they want.

This is a fast paced, steamy read with Age Gap.
Olivia is young professional at a new job and Alexander is her hot boss, the attraction is instant but with the mutual insecurities can this relationship blossom to its full potential?
There is a lot of angst, mistrust, internal struggles and making up; this book keeps you reading. I finished in 2days!

Olivia starts work for Alexander and discovers that there is an instant attraction. But it seems to be an on again, off again relationship where Alexander changes the rules regularly. Can they make it work?.
