This is an insta-lust, age gap, and the billionaire... oh crap after our weekend foray, he's my boss! Then there's the surprise baby! Oh, and the spice, it's 90% spice.
Such a quick, fast paced read, but loved reading about Syd and Austin. These two characters has such a tough upbringing but their past may have played a part in their insecurities but ultimately didn’t control them in the end. These two meet during a one night stand, unknowingly to them they will see each other many more times in the future because of other life events. Syd a strong female most of the time, but shows her sadness and her fears over specific unplanned pregnancy. Austin isn’t perfect, never pretends to be, but simply can’t stay away from Syd. These two together bring out the best in each other making them talk and face their fears. Such a great book for a quick happy read.
For fans of erotic romance, Clara Dunn's latest novel, "My Billionaire Boss", offers a new gem. Following the complicated path of Sydney and Austin's passionate affair, the book invites the reader on an adventure full of emotion, but also rich in spicy erotic scenes.
The story's two protagonists, Sydney and Austin, meet for the first time on a night out, when the chemistry between them is palpable from the first moment. They both think their one-night stand will be forgotten, but to their surprise, they run into each other again a few days later at work when Sydney starts her internship. Austin is not only Sydney's boss, but also her brother's best friend, which leads to further complications. The emotional tension between the two and the resulting situations make the story gripping.
This was the second book I have read by Clara Dunn and after "My Baby Daddy Next Door", "My Billionaire Boss" was a pleasant surprise. To be honest, just looking at the cover I expected worse than the book ended up being. The emotions of the characters were much more understandable and easier to follow than in the previous book, and their decisions were much more justified. This improvement in the author's style and characterisation is particularly noteworthy.
What I especially liked in this book was the open and honest communication between the characters. They didn't keep secrets, so they didn't cause unnecessary drama, but rather discussed things like mature adults. Despite the challenges they faced at times, they dealt with them openly and solved problems with a surprising lightness. This kind of maturity was refreshing and lifted the quality of the story.
Even though I couldn't personally identify with any of the main characters, because for me having a career has always been secondary to having children, I could understand them. The author thoroughly portrays the thoughts of both characters and the traumas caused by their parents that influenced their decisions and the course of their lives. I found myself respecting Sydney and Austin for bravely facing their fears and sticking by each other.
Of the side characters, Q, Sydney's brother and also Austin's best friend, was the one I liked the most. His character quickly won over my heart with the way he cared for and protected his sister. The genuine love and support that Q provided was human and genuine, which made the story deeper and more emotional.
In contrast, Sydney's mother was my least favourite character. Her negative attitude towards her own daughter's decisions was incomprehensible and annoying to me. Her character, while adding to the drama of the story, felt a bit like an unnecessary conflict.
Overall, "My Billionaire Boss" is an emotionally charged romance novel, rich in spicy and erotic scenes, which I enjoyed reading. Clara Dunn showed that she can write stories that are full of emotion and at the same time full of passion. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romantic stories that are rich in emotion yet passionate.

I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful banter between the characters and their effortless ability to communicate openly. Despite facing occasional challenges, they tackled them head-on, fostering a refreshingly easygoing dynamic. Clara's skillful storytelling shines through, weaving a tale that delves into the characters' past insecurities and celebrates their growth together.
The palpable chemistry between the characters leaps off the page, leaving no doubt that they're determined to make their relationship work. With its unexpected twists and turns, this book keeps you guessing, while the well-developed characters add depth and authenticity to the narrative. I'm eager to learn more about the lives of the supporting characters and who they may find love with.
The perfect balance of spice adds to the allure of the story, providing just enough heat to evoke emotions without crossing into discomfort. I appreciate how the author handles intimate scenes with grace, avoiding any awkward or explicit language.
Overall, this story enveloped me in the warmth of their love story, leaving me yearning for more. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a heartfelt and engaging read.

A lovely romance, with plenty of emotion, love, steam, angst, facing fears and a HEA.
Sydney meets Austin on a night out and they have a great connection but both believe it to be a one night, and morning, only. But when she starts her internship at her brother's company the following week, she's shocked to discover he's her boss, and her brother's best friend.
They both know they have to stay away from each other, but when avoiding each other in the office and denying their feelings becomes too hard they choose to hide what they have. But when Sydney gets some unexpected news, their relationship is tested.
I really enjoyed this story and the main characters (Sydney is a strong female who shows her feelings and fears, Austin admits to his faults but just can't stay away from her); I also liked Quinton and Sydney's best friend, though you don't see them much, they give some really wise advice and fun lines which made me smile.

I really enjoyed this! Hello spicy age gap, brothers best friend, Billionaire boss! This was 100% up my alley as far as tropes go. The FMC Sydney was great! She was smart and sexy and confident. She had enough spark and sass to be fun and interesting without being annoying. And when she meets Austin at a bar one night, the rest is history. What starts as a one night stands suddenly takes a complicated turn. And in the best way. Turns out he is her new boss (for an internship) but also her brothers best friend. Not to mention he is quite a bit older. He was swoon worthy but also afraid of his feelings. The pull between the main characters was deliciously written. The spice was so good too! I thoroughly enjoyed them trying to keep away from each other and eventually giving in. I highly recommend reading this! This was my first book from this author and I will definitely see if she has more available!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the story of Austin and Sydney, who meet one night with Sydney believing it would be just a one night stand, to "scratch the itch". Little did she know, it would led to so much more, but that there was the small issue, he was her brother's best friend, and also her boss.
They both know that they should not be together, but there is just a connection too strong to deny each other. This denial becomes something powerful when the relationship is tested with news that sends shockwaves for them both. It brings up memories of their respective pasts, and has them denying each other, and how they truly feel.
I could not put this book down, and the steamy scenes between Austin and Sydney of course had me urging them on to finding there HEA, and I was not disappointed. Of course this came with alot of soul searching, angst and confiding their greatest fears to each other. I loved it, and highly recommend it.
My billionaire boss: an age gap surprise baby romance by Clara Dunn
Age gap in the title shouldn't be taken lightly. To be very honest, I feel meet cute at bars/clubs are over done in books but I did eat up every little interaction between the main characters in the first chapter. Sizzling chemistry, eye contact (panty melting) and the way they describe each other is all due to the magical writing of the author. It's raw, physical and carnal from the get go.
But with a fast moving ship like this, they are bound to meet some hurdles. I liked that despite the breaks and time spent apart, the characters find their way to each other. He's jealous and they keep fighting what they have for each other, their feelings that's clear as day. With a baby in the mix, the couple has to confront their fears, examine priorities and get their head straight. It's a realistic story with a good end.
My Billionaire Boss is a great, spicy book! 10/10 recommend *** Book does contain Adult content
Sydney just got dumped and goes to a club with her friend. She's not the one night stand kind of girl, but she ends up taking a guy home. When she starts her new job she finds out he is her boss. They both know company policy is no dating in the work place but they can't stop thinking about that night.
I absolutely love this book! I love that the book flows well, but it's so hard to put down! Be sure you have time to read this steamy book because once you start you will not wanna stop! It is written well and the details and storyline keep you so entertained that if your like me you will lose track of time lol...
This author is new to me but I can't wait to get my hands on more of her steamy romance books!
This novel is a great quick read. Sydney & Austin hit it off when she wants to start anew with a one-night stand. The chemistry & attraction towards each other is instant but this was only supposed to be one night of fun. When they meet face-to-face, the fun really starts when they realize they can’t stay away from each other & there’s no stopping the attraction. Austin is her boss as well as her brother’s best friend so keeping their rendezvous meetings need to be secret. Will these two lovers be able to date openly where her brother will accept these two so they can have a HEA? Definitely a page-turner story-line, keeping you interested right to the last page. I would recommend this novel as your next story to read.

Arc review* fresh out of a breakup Sydney meets Austin on a night out. Chemistry is flying from the get go One great night changes their lives
It was a nice quick read, I rated three stars. I liked the fact their insecurities didn’t really lie with their looks, but more their upbringings which were very similar. I liked how they couldn’t stay away from each other. I don’t feel the character’s had much depth but it is a short book. Was nice to read about a curvy female which honestly makes a change Was a nice quick read
Whilst I did really enjoy this read, I did struggle a little in the middle with the constant back and forth of ‘I'm going to avoid you and not talk to you….but then when I do see you I'm going to rip your clothes off and have you’. It was making me a little mad 😂 I think that the way that the characters were developed was done well and it was actually very well written. Austin and Sydney's relationship was toxic with a capital T and he came across as a lot of a douchebag at time, but I suppose I came around to him by the end of the book!
Wow! These characters are brilliant, they've both got issues from growing up but the chemistry that draws them to each other is totally magnetic and I couldn't stop reading to find out where their story went. Some twists that are well written and keep you cheering this couple on, willing them to see what they've got with each other. A beautiful love story with some detailed intimate scenes. I can't wait to read more by this author.

Omg! The love, the angst,the twists and turns and the spice 🔥 this book has seriously everything in it that you need for a beautifully written romance novel. I fell head over heels for the main characters and their love for each other, even though it took them a while to admit it. But once they did, all the pieces fell together to create a beautiful puzzle that I loved seeing come together. The author did an incredible job writing this, and I highly recommend it!
When you have a one night stand only to find out after starting a new internship that it was with your boss who is also your half brothers best friend what else is there to do but look at the man longingly hoping he will just go away.
This was the perfect billionaire boss, dirty romance. There was spice, plot, great characters. Every character was likable. The storyline came together nicely. I didn't feel like it was lacking anything. It was a great, quick read.
Sydney, wanting to ‘clean slate’ her life before starting the next chapter meets Austin, who turns out to be the not so simple choice as he is her brothers best friend, and has a one night stand. Sydney finds out she's pregnant from their one night together.

This was Austin and Sydney’s story. Taking a hot billionaire home from the club wasn’t in her plans. She’s not a one-night stand kind of girl. But she doesn’t have time to question the decision, not when she has her first day at a new job to think about. A job that, it turns out, includes reporting to the CEO. Who just so happens to be the one night stand hot billionaire. An entertaining read. And am voluntarily leaving this review.
Austin and Sydney will take you on one thrilling journey. They meet at a bar and have an intimate night together only for her to find out that she has to work close to the CEO who happens to be her one-night stand and brother's best friend. This story kept me glued to the pages from start to finish.

Sydney spots Austin on a night out. She decides that for once, she wants something different, something spontaneous. One thing leads to another, and they end up in bed. A week later, he is her boss and her brother's best friend. I love the flow of the book went. She never let him intimidate her.. When he was pissy or jealous, she smirked or laughed.
This is Syd and Austin’s story. This is a good story which is fast paced, with family, friendships, workplace romance, close proximity, secrets, emotions, challenges, an unplanned pregnancy, romance, and love, which leads to a steamy quick read.

ARC review I liked the book. Who doesn't love a good brother's best friend, billionaire secret romance? Syd was a little immature but she had some trauma in her life with relationships. They fell hard and fast for each other. Great spicy scenes.
This is a new author for me and I am looking forward to reading more from them. The story flows well, the characters are likeable and fit well together. They have great chemistry. A fun book.
Bravo. Clara has written a book that will not only WOW you, but you will need to crank your A/C up because things are going to start to get HOT between Austin and Sydney. This was a really great book that I enjoyed reading.
