Fake Dating My Grumpy Billionaire Boss

Nantucket Romantic Comedies

by Taryn Daniels

Going with my grumpy billionaire boss to a charity ball sounded simple enough. But now Dalton wants to teach me to waltz and my two left feet have a mind of their own. Even though I've stomped his poor toes to a pulp, Dalton's determined to spin me around the ballroom flawlessly for the big event. Little does he know I've got butterflies doing backflips in my stomach that have nothing to do with dancing. Maybe I'm not as immune to his dreamy eyes and delicious cologne as I thought.

Oh boy. Fake-dating my boss is a bad idea…and what if the feelings become real? How can I work with him after that kiss? Especially when his interfering mother thinks I'm just after his money to support my little boy. With my heart and my son's at stake, I have to find a way to make this arrangement work without losing my job.

If you enjoyed The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory, you'll love the whirlwind of emotions in the sweet romantic comedy, Fake Dating My Grumpy Billionaire Boss. Be swept away to gorgeous Nantucket Island and experience heart-warming unexpected love.

Unfortunately this novella felt underdeveloped, I believe it would have functioned better as a full-length novel. The relationship just didn’t feel realistic in the short amount of time.

[Brianna Bello · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent story. Rex drove me insane though for some reason. The way he just did whatever he wanted and all Pam would do is give him a look or tell him to stop but yet he still wouldn’t. And Dalton just being so smitten by it. I’m not sure, but it rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.

way too short and kinda unrealistic cause they fell in love within like what 5 days?!?!

2.5 ⭐ ⭐ ✨
okay so, sé que es una novela (y por definición corta) pero el vato no tuvo nada de grumpy, hubo cero development, literal fueron de 0 a 100 en sentimientos, mínimo si hubieran dicho que ya sentían atracción desde hace rato y los eventos desencadenaron algo, pero nop, lit fue de nada a todo. Pero bueno, entretenido lit para pasar el rato, tampoco es lo peor, pudo haber sido un libro más desarrollado

Such a cute little novella, I do slyly wish it was longer as I wanted to know more about the characters but overall quick easy read

3.75⭐️
Una novella molto carina che racconta la storia di un CEO miliardario, Dalton, e della sua assistente personale, Pam, nonché mamma single!
La storyline e tutto lo sviluppo dei sentimenti dei personaggi è un po’ troppo frettolosa e in parte mi è anche un po’ dispiaciuto, perché avrei voluto un approfondimento della storia e dei personaggi, ma trattandosi di una novella e non di un vero e proprio libro lo trovo abbastanza comprensibile.
Nonostante tutto questa novella mi è piaciuta molto, è stata una lettura leggera, scorrevole, molto carina e divertente, poi Dalton è troppo carino con il figlio di lei ed è bellissimo vederli insieme, non solo loro due ma tutti e tre insieme e come lui stia già pensando al loro futuro.😍

A very cute and wholesome contemporary romance. We’ve got boos x employee, single mom, grumpy x sunshine.

No spice just cuteness.

[Becky Radke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well that was really short, too short (in my opinion) for someone to fall in love with their boss, their boss to fall in love with them AND want to be a dad to their little boy. I think this could’ve made a cute regular length book instead of a novella. I liked Pam and Dalton but their story just needed way more details and time. Insta love after a fake dating weekend just didn’t cut it.

It was neat to see it connect to the book I just finished about Pam’s sister, Melanie, who got married on Nantucket where most of this novella took place.

[Alessandra Solla · Rating 1 out of 5]

Un libro che purtroppo non ha funzionato per me. Ho dato 1 stella perché non si può dare 0.
​La premessa del "fake dating" con un "grumpy boss" aveva potenziale, ma l'esecuzione è stata piatta e noiosa. I personaggi sono risultati stereotipati e privi di chimica, e ho faticato a trovare un solo momento in cui le loro azioni o i loro dialoghi fossero credibili o coinvolgenti.
​La trama si trascina con cliché stanchi. Non c'è nulla di originale o minimamente memorabile in questa lettura. Il finale sembra scritto da un autore che non aveva più tempo e doveva finire il libro.

​Sconsigliato a chi cerca una romance anche solo lontanamente fresca o ben sviluppata.

[Megan Newell · Rating 2 out of 5]

The storyline had a very rushed timeline due to the book being so short. The timeline of the storyline was highly unrealistic without any background story of 1. How long they’ve worked together 2. Were there any feelings prior to the trip to Nantucket? There was little to no character exploration and very little relationship development details between Dalton & Pam. Not one of the good books I’ve read at all.

Boss & PA romance

This is a sweet, beachy, evening read about Dalton, a billionaire boss with a mother trying to micromanage his life, falling in love with his single mom personal assistant Pam. I liked that it could be read in a short amount of time, but didn't skimp on the sweet and tender moments between them. Little Rex just stole the show. No wonder Dalton fell in love with him also

I purchased a copy of this story on Amazon and voluntarily chose to share my review.

[Emily McMillan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lovely easy read, now I want to read her other books. I know it’s supposed to be a novella but it would’ve been nice to have more details in certain places to fill out and add to the story. More about their working relationship before the fake dating and more about their time on Nantucket. I enjoyed Pam and daltons relationship, very sweet.

[Chelsea · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didnt realize it was a single mother story, which I'm not the biggest fan of to begin with, although the issue for me is that it's simply too short. I know that's what a novella(ette) is meant to be, but I felt I didn't have time to learn and care about the characters. It was a decent time waster for half an hour but I wouldn't necessarily hype about it.

Simple plot

If you are looking for a sweet, short, and simple story then this is for you. There is not much time to develop any characters as it is less than 100 pages so be prepared for very simple.
It all seemed too easy to overcome any obstacles but I guess that was what was needed to fit everything into 50+ pages.

[Fabie Peters · Rating 2 out of 5]

Story felt rushed, missing backstory (like Why isn‘t his dad involved anymore?). Felt rather rushed with low to zero depth to it.
I also didn‘t pick up on why Daltons mom didn‘t like Pamela.
All together - for me it was a acceptable Novella. No spice, all cutesy if you‘re into the couples dynamic. It felt rushed and I‘m a fan of a slow burn beginning, personally.

[Zunflower · Rating 2 out of 5]

It takes you like 15 minutes to read it, so if you are looking for something easy and fast to read, then go ahead.
They fall in love like in chapter one, so I don’t like it, but isn’t like I can’t expect slow burn in such a small amount of chapters

— fast review —

une nouvelle un peu irréaliste et sur-jouer. je me demande réellement si la longueur est adaptée à tout ce que l’autrice a souhaitée transmettre. je ne m’attendais pas à grand chose mais c’était tout de même agréable à lire et mignon.

[Alisa Francyne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was a good short read to read between books. I probably would have liked it more if it was a full novel and not a novella. I felt like a lot of stuff could have been spread out more into a full novel. ALSO he wasn’t even grumpy??? Change the title???

[Diana M. Caruthers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet story

This was a great story especially for single moms. Packed all those emotions in a book about trying to work, raise a child that is ill and trying to make ends meet. Relatable with an amazing ending.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

👍:
- great novella length
- fake date is super cute
- love how they included the son, Rex, and how he is the center of her world.
👎:
- instant love
- big plot hole that they’re in a completely different area on a date and her son is… ? In the hotel room alone? Where is he?

[Sydney · Rating 1 out of 5]

No. The boss isn’t even grumpy. Plus the description is longer than the actual book.
