Gay Awakenings #2
The Secret Lives of CEOs
After college, Cameron struggles to find his footing in the workplace. His uncle keeps him employed at his company, but he messes up spectacularly at every turn. That is until the company gets bought out by a competitor.
Now, famous tech CEO and millionaire Maxwell Renaud is his boss. He’s tall and fit and a merciless hard-ass.
When selling his company, Cameron’s uncle managed to negotiate that his nephew couldn’t be fired until the end of the year, but Renaud has no patience for inane provisos. So, he decides to make Cameron his personal assistant and push him until he quits.
But in Renaud’s quest to chase Cameron away, the boundaries of professionalism begin to blur, and things become heated as both refuse to back down.
How far will they bend before one of them breaks?

Tropes: boss/employee

Kinks: dom/sub
Angst: low
Triggers/potential icks: cheating (Cam cheats on his gf with Max), sexual harassment at work (Max to Cam)
I wasn't impressed with this book. It would have been a lot better if Cam hadn't had a girlfriend. This made me a bit uncomfortable. Max had unfair control over Cam at work as his boss. And he used that to pressure Cam sexually. Cam cheats on his girlfriend of 6 years Leslie with Max for 6 or 7 months. Cam wasn't having sex with Leslie during those months, their relationship is not very sexual but come on. I don't respect Cam or Max for that cheating. Max even had the nerve to say to Cam "hope you're not about to blame me for your relationship troubles". You coerced him into sex for the last 6 months. Granted he's clearly a participant at this point eagerly but come on. Leslie never even finds out. I feel like she deserved to find out and get to yell at Cam.
Look at this dumb quote. Max suddenly has a conscience and doesn't want to initiate sex with Cam after he's broken up with Leslie because Max is crashing at his house. But it was fine when they were together and it was at work?!
"it didn’t feel right. Not now. Doing it at the office was one thing. But demanding sex while they were living under the same roof? It seemed to cross some sort of boundary in Max’s conscience."
And spoiler alert they didn't even get back together at the end of the book because one of them grew a pair and made a gesture. They got back together because someone interfered and set them up because they were both miserable.
It was an interesting premise of a relationship dynamic and the smut was good but the cheating, the dumb s*** they say, and the lack of growing a pair just made it very lackluster.

Note: do NOT read this book if you have TWs for sexual harassment/coercion/assault. This book features a a CEO abusing the power dynamic with his employee. Just want to say that up front. If that won’t trigger you, the story has some fascinating and enjoyable emotional evolution. But it is a problematic book, despite the lack of predatory tone and the weirdly casual presentation of the evolution of sexual coercion into cheating as not actually cheating, and then true feeling developing from the usual boss-employee unequal power dynamic (which admittedly, I was here for, but, this crossed over from "it's fiction" into "this is not redeemable and no one's talking about it" territory even for me).
But that’s not why it’s a 1 star for me. The 1 star is for the inexcusably lazy, unearned by either hero resolution to the romantic conflict. That was an insult and so unsatisfying, I forgot all the stuff I was enjoying amongst the mess and slammed my e-reader shut in a petty huff.
The story has arresting emotional evolutions, especially for CEO character Max, who starts as a closed off asshole who messes with straight guys for funsies and includes a fascinating gay (or rather, Cameron-) awakening including dom tendencies. I did enjoy how the author showed him coming to care for and desire Cameron even as he kept shooting himself in the foot with obliviousness about having the power to make different choices and simply claim or ask for what he finally realized he wanted.
Cameron’s characterization is a weird mess. He has a girlfriend for about 2/3 of the book, and he’s said to be smart but simply not able to find his place in the world yet, a fuckup with potential who got a job with the company Max took over due to being a nepo-baby working for his uncle, but who has started to find his footing as a PA. And now he’s Max’s PA, and his uncle, who gave him a job and then years of tolerance as he fucked up one thing after another before finding a position that worked, included Cameron in the buyout deal as having to remain employed till the end of the year unless he chooses to resign.
Guess how I-mess-with-straight-boys-heads Max decides to encourage him to resign?
Max is bored of ordering around the two “straight” cam boys he pushed to see how far they’d go with each other. He resents having to keep on Cameron and decides to abuse his position as Cameron’s boss to get him to quit. Starting with changing in front of him, leading to hand jobs, then BJs. It’s easy to read if that won’t trigger you, because you can see that Cameron gets into it, is intrigued, and considers it part of the job.
Don’t forget, Cameron has a girlfriend, Leslie, whom he lives with, who knows none of this. Cameron never mentions it (which shows just how out of touch they now are). They are longtime friends to lovers whose romance has fizzled out, and they haven’t slept together or even kissed for months (conveniently), but, Cameron doesn’t once consider anything he’s ordered to do cheating. At all. Like it’s not on his radar.
The conscious obtuseness was bizarre. I became confused about whether Cameron was supposed to be less intelligent than presented, if that was a way of showing it, or…what. But, this does become a cheating book once the coercion evolves into both men clearly being into office sex, giving/obeying orders, and subconsciously wanting more with each other.
And I was still reading it! Because the f’d up situation was fascinating, and apart from both MCs being reprehensible in different ways, their dynamic itself was addictive, and I felt them falling for each other even while they remained oblivious, which is catnip for me.
So, terrible, inexcusable, irredeemable situation, but, things that kept me hooked emotionally and invested, I am not too proud to admit I was enjoying myself (yes, yes, including bc Cameron and Leslie aren’t at all physical and C doesn’t even want to be. Me. Sigh.).
The dark moment where Max makes the worst decision, the most horrifying, insulting decision, of their interactions was gloriously painful. Unfortunately, only Cameron’s pining is shown in the aftermath, but then he pulls himself together.
But we never see what Max is going through.
And then that ending, where forces outside both heroes bring them together? UTTER 💩. I was furious. Unearned, neither of them had to step up, we don’t even know what Max is thinking or how he’s feeling, we’re just told about it, they never would have even seen each other again (maybe, who knows, maybe Max would have eventually cracked and come for Cameron? THAT I would have been into! This man needed to grovel on his KNEES for Cameron) if not for this, and that was so unsatisfying I had to go eat second breakfast to make myself feel better.
Another very disappointing thread is dropped—Max takes over Cameron’s uncle’s company because it compete with his larger business, and he can never get customers to switch sides because the customer service from Cameron's uncle's company is SO good. The author dropped a ball and missed an entire touchdown on this, because they could have made Cameron part of the reason the company gets respect for CS, it’s even hinted at, and that goes nowhere, he’s relegated to being Max’s PA and not contributing anything. And the whole issue of the smaller company providing such excellent customer service that clients stay loyal is never brought up again, a major miss in the story. It went from having a potentially interesting plot to PNP up front. Too bad.
And poor Leslie. She’s kind of a bitch, but, her frustration with Cameron had a foundation, and while she was equally guilty of letting things ride and taking her own frustrations out on him, she didn’t deserve to be cheated on and never even find out about it. I admired her standing up for herself, even as I didn’t admire her being equally responsible for not communicating about the relationship. It was clear it was broken and no good for either, but, she got the even-shorter end of the stick and Cameron got off with no consequences. Again with the obtuseness. WEIRD.
AND, what happened to Cameron's uncle? No contact ever after the opening. WHAT?
HEA, unearned. Boss/employee, really leans into the sexual coercion theme, but, since that isn’t the focus and isn’t on either’s radar, strangely, it was easy to keep reading. It’s not a PSA/message story, it’s a suspend reality and lean into fiction read. NO others, Max dates/sees no one, Cameron isn’t sleeping with his gf and they break up. Recommended for those who like a true mess with uncomfortably compelling addictive notes.

The Secret Lives of CEOs by Joey Mayble is about assistant Cameron and ruthless CEO Max.
Max is the living embodiment of corporate evil from the get-go. He buys the company from Cameron's uncle in order to have monopoly on the market, essentially ensuring that his company gets all the customers and gains complete control over the market as there is no competition. As the cherry on top, he fires the majority of the original employees.
He doesn't stop there, though. After humiliating and constantly scolding his employee, he decides that's not enough and starts sexually harassing him. When that still isn't enough for him, he rapes him. If someone doesn't think that was rape, I suggest that person look up the definition of rape.
Listen. If you're going to have one of your characters be an asshole who sexually harasses his employee, at least don't label it as romance. It is guile, pure and simple, to make the reader think this is romance.

So much suspension of disbelief needed with this book, but if you go into as a horny spectator to a sexual harassment case waiting to happen, you'll have a blast. 🤣 (Admittedly, I'm a sucker for power exchanges, and Max is all about that sweet sweet submission.)
I kinda hated Max at first, but he grew on me by the end of the book. I was NOT a fan of Cameron cheating on his girlfriend, but she was barely on the page, and I was already shrugging off a lot, so what was one more thing? 😜
The writing is solid enough. Some grammar issues but not extensive. Nothing that made me want to toss the book across the room.
I'm not sure I care to read book 1. Friends to Lovers isn't really my jam. However, book 3 is enemies to lovers, and I'm TOTALLY looking forward to that.

2.5 🌟 I didn’t hate it but it’s too bare bones of a story to give it 3
This was similar enough to Just A Bit Bossy to feel like a copy. If it would have been more fleshed out, the differences would have set it apart. It felt more like an outline to a story that could have been good
There were some good ideas here. I would have loved for the D/s & praise kink vibes to be explored more.
The characters were one dimensional and seemed to have a personality transplant by the end of the book. The ending was rushed and left me needing more

Fun, hot read.
Just what I needed to cleanse the palate after other more serious books. This was a fun office romance book about Max, who’s company buys the company belonging to Cameron’s uncle, and has to keep Cameron employed for 8 months as part of the deal. What starts of as enemies soon turns into almost a game for Max to try to get Cameron to quit his job before the agreed time is up. Max has been forced to grow up quickly after taking over his father’s company when he died when he was just 17/18. He’s spent years working ruthlessly to get his company where it is today but has sacrificed having friends, relationships, a social life and such. Cameron has always been quite lazy and awkward but for the first time he finds his calling in being a p.a. to someone like Max and is ready to take on all of Max’s demands to prove he won’t quit.
As things progress it turns from enemies to more all the while Cameron is still living with his girlfriend. They were both similar in some ways but so different in others but in the end they worked.
There were a few twists and turns but even though some might say the story was a bit far stretched, I read it for what it was and enjoyed it.
I didn’t read book 1, Ace’s book but as he was brought up during the story, I may go back to read it. Archer’s story is up next!

4.25 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s double GFY as well as boss/employee. Max buys the company Cameron works for with the proviso that Cameron’s employment is secure until the end of the year. Max hated having to agree to that but figured he could get Cameron to quit by making him his personal assistant and being an outrageously demanding boss.
Max likes power and pushing a straight man to uncomfortable heights gives him a rush like he’s never known. While pushing Cameron’s boundaries, things take on a sensual and then s*xual nature.
If Max fires Cameron not only does he owe him a hefty severance pay but it’s admitting defeat. That’s how Max justifies the massages he demands as well as the ‘happy endings’. He refuses to believe it’s because he’s come to care for Cameron. And Cameron convinces himself that he does these things because he wants to prove he can be a fabulous PA.

I really loved this book. The chemistry between the two characters is so good, and I loved how Cameron is the first and only person to make Max feel anything. I should say though that if you don't like any cheating in your books - this technically does have it in it as Cameron is still living with his girlfriend when he starts "servicing" Max. ;) Yes this book is totally unrealistic - I mean would a personal assistant really do all the things Cameron does? And would neither realize that what they were doing is crossing the line? Or that they were in love? But where's the fun in reality. It was pretty hot too ;)

Wow this one was hot!! I loved Maxwell's character growth. I really saw the change from cold boss to him having feelings for Cameron and that was impressive for such a short read.
-2 seemingly straight men
-Boss/employee
-Enemies to lovers
- lots of "lock the door" 🥵 while at work
Side note: Cameron does has a girlfriend when things start getting heated between him and Maxwell but he is not intimate with girlfriend during this time so it didn't bother me 🤷♀️

Realmente me gustó, la tensión entre los personajes fue uffff, no me agradan realmente las infidelidades, pero no me resultó tan chocante ya que el prota no parecía que tenía una relación de noviazgo con su pareja.
Me gusto mucho el cambio que se fue dando en Max y Cameron y en su relación en general.
Pd: Esta serie y en particular este libro me recuerda a chicos heterosexuales y le guardo un cariño particular a esa serie, creo que por eso le puse 4 estrellas

This book was terrible. Any other time, I would DNF but I needed my boss/employee fix so bad that I read it anyway. It's basically a bad copy of Just a Bit Bossy by Alessandra Hazard. Hazard's book is the gold standard for the asshole billionnaire boss who falls in love with his personal assistant trope, but I've read it about a million times and I need others to read in between before another reread.

What was this
I've read better fanfiction written by teenagers but I still couldn't put this down, luckily it was a short read.
Plot was as unoriginal as it comes, I felt like I was reading a mock mash-up of Just a Bit Bossy and IRL. Bland uni-dimensional characters, flat dialogue, everything was told to the reader, not shown.
However I still finished this.

So OTT and delightful. There were a dozen times I had to put the book aside and just laugh out loud at the ridiculous plot. Cheating on his GF was wretched and unnecessary, and even worse given we already knew and loved her from book 1. Although I respect the fact she wasn’t a villain and the MCs were actually the devils here.

I have no words. Quite frankly I am in awe at how much I hated this book. I usually don’t rate books but i just had to on this one… and I’m on 31% of it. This man was harassing cam and when that got too comfortable he rapes him?

I wanted to like this more but it felt too rushed. It has all the elements of straight going gfy with cheating because I have no issues with cheating. It’s just breakneck pacing.

Cameron works as Max's personal assistant, but Max its not happy so he starts to do his best at making Cameron life a living hell. That includes some sexual harassment. But since I came into the book as if it was another one from the Straight Guys by Alessandra Hazard, I didn't plan on taking it very seriously.
I actually liked the story. At first Cameron was my favorite, I really wanted to see him found his place in the world but then the whole sexual favors started and I didn't like him that much anymore. I read others reviews so I knew about the cheating, which I hate. I almost didn't read the book because of it, but since it reminded me to Just a Bit Bossy and I really wanted something easy I put up with it.
I hated the fact that not only is Cameron cheating on his girlfriend but he tries to justify it. At first I didn't mind as much because technically he wasn't getting anything physical out of the arrangement. But as soon as he started to really participate, I started counting it as cheating.
By the little interactions we saw of Cameron's girlfriend, Leslie (and by little I don't mean she was just at the start. Nope, they didn't broke up until almost the 70% mark), she wasn't supportive towards him trying to find something that he loved and was good at. But that doesn't excuse cheating.
Here is an example of Cameron justifying his cheating:
"“Maybe I haven’t been the best boyfriend lately, but she hasn’t exactly been supportive either.”"
To me, that translated into: “Maybe I’m a cheater but she’s not supportive enough 😭”
Also, almost towards the end of the book I stopped recognizing Max. He was acting really out of character, imo. He was moping around and then he literally spun Cameron around when they got back together. Idk, it seemed out of character compared with how cold he was at the beginning. Obviously he treats Cameron different now, but it felt wried.
Anyways, beside all that I actually liked the writing so I enjoyed the book as a whole.
