He wanted her to model for his company. She just wanted to save cats. How did this end with her in his bed and his ring on her finger?
Reese I've already got a crazy mother and a meddling cousin driving me insane. I don't need a curvy little spitfire stomping around my office, giving me grief. But I do need Ava Matthews in front of the camera, modeling for my new campaign. Especially if it means getting her out of her clothes and into my bed.
Her terms? One million dollars.
I should be ashamed of how fast I accepted that deal. Spoiler I'm not. I'm not ashamed of how fast I dragged her to a chapel in Vegas and put my ring on her finger, either. And I'm absolutely not ashamed of how far I'll go to keep it there. She's mine. I'll do whatever it takes to convince her that we're permanent.
This gorgeous little cat lady is going down.
Ava My plan for my life involved getting bossed around by my cat. It didn't include getting bossed around by Reese Donovan, bosshole extraordinaire. But I accepted a job as his assistant anyway.
I wasn't supposed to agree to model for him or wake up married to him. And I absolutely wasn't supposed to fall for the grouch. But there's something about this gorgeous man that I can't resist…especially when he's working his magic on my body.
But spinster cat lady, I can handle. Brokenhearted cat lady? Not so much.
If I'm just an elaborate game to him, I might burn his stupid company to the ground. Or use my million dollars to train attack cats. Either will do.

When not writing, Nichole enjoys fine wine, cute shoes, and everything supernatural. She is happily married to the love of her life and is a proud ringleader in the world’s most ridiculous chihuahua circus. She and her husband live in central Arkansas.
I took a chance, and we'll they were right this was a mess... 10 authors one story. it was a lot. And sometimes, the storyline was confusing. I had to reread a few parts to make sense of what was happening. With so many twists, and did this happen, or was it a dream? Or was it even a dream? I would skip this one, guys
I think they had a good idea for a good cause, but yeah, they missed me with this one.

Love Nichole Rose stories but too many unsafe authors on this one. Not into women who exercise their hatred of other women by writing stories about them being weak and not only complicit in their own dehumanization but romanticizing it.
Also having Reese be with 3 prostitutes in order for him to be ready to settle down makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. It’s just adding him being a manwhore to what, demoralize both the other 3 women and Ava??
Like what does that actually do for the story besides validate your own world view that men need to have a long line of many while women sit by virginally and demurely while they fuck anything with a pulse. If you can’t even in your wildest imagination write women getting treated with actual dignity and respect with 10 other collaborators you’re very sad.
While the initial concept showed promise, the execution falls dramatically short. You know what this book desperately needed? Someone to actually read it before hitting that publish button (hello, editor, are you there? Anyone?).
The inconsistencies range from minor details - like characters' eye colors, clothing, and mood shifts - to major plot holes that severely impact the reading experience.
One of the most jarring issues is the dream/reality confusion, where information from what was established as a dream suddenly becomes canon in the "real world" without any explanation.
You know how they say you can't have too much of a good thing? Well, this book begs to differ. It's like the authors threw every cool plot twist and writing style they knew into a blender and hit puree.
The result? A story that reads less like a book and more like that weird dream you have after eating questionable takeout at 3 AM.
Beauty and the Bosshole was such a creatively fun read. Multiple authors, known for their steamy romance novellas, came together to write one hot story as an anthology for charity. Ava is a curvy girl who works for Reese, who owns a company specializing in grown-up t0 -ys. Reece not only wants Ava as a model for his new campaign, but he also wants her for himself for other things. I liked the story's pacing, and the characters' banter worked well. It was also fun to guess which chapter was written by which author. I refrained from looking at the back until I finished!
Beauty and the Bosshole was written under the interesting concept of the story being shared by a number of authors. Taking turns at writing chapters the story comes from the mind of many fabulous authors.
It’s tagged as a rom-com and while it have moments I can’t say that I found it overly amusing. There was some suspense thrown in there to mix with it and I think that pulled it more away from the comedy side.
This is a curvy girl romance, clearly with a boss/employee, work romance trope.
Reese is the billionaire boss of a sex toy company that’s relocated from Vegas to a small town in Texas and let’s say the locals aren’t thrilled with the big company starting up I their little town. He can’t keep an assistant for very long considering his snapping and attitude to them.
Ava is the local girl willing to try working for the grumpy billionaire boss. She’s got plenty of sass to deal with the bosshole extraordinaire. She might not have the experience to work as a personal assistant for the CEO but she’s hoping that offering to try and smooth things over with the locals will get her the position.
With an instant attraction these two spend time dancing around the pull but refusing to let it complicate things. A business trip to Vegas is just the beginning of the implosion of their feelings. Once they taste the forbidden fruit (so to say) there is no going back.
It’s a wild ride in Vegas though with some gambling, drunken wedding, a mobster, and spicy photo shoot. It all works out in the end though because Reese and Ava are meant to be together.
The proceeds from this book are for charity and it’s definitely worth the read so pick it up and enjoy Reese and Ava’s story. . . . Reese moved his billion-dollar company out of Vegas to try and get some relief from the non-stop life of Vegas and the drama that came with it. He didn't expect the small Texan town to be so against his company, but he should have known they wouldn't take to a sex toy company easily. On top of that, he can't keep an assistant around to help him. His mother, who is a law unto herself and causes him as many problems as she fixes and his cousin, who his mother thrust upon him are the only employees he seems to tolerate at the moment.
Ava is hoping that getting a job as the assistant to the billionaire CEO will be the start of something new for her. She didn't expect him to be so damn sexy or such an ass though. From the moment she meets him, she's fighting between wanting to slap him upside the head or climb him like a tree. Having an attraction to the boss isn't ideal but she's sure she can ignore it.
Ava is a temptation that Reese doesn't want to deal with. She not only smart and sassy, but she's incredibly attractive and he wants to do all sorts of bad things with her. So far though she is the only one to stick around and deal with his attitude so he needs to keep her in her place and he needs to stay far away.
A sudden business trip back to Vegas is just the start of a wild time that ends with a drunken marriage, a million-dollar donation to save cats, a mobster, and a meddling mother. One thing is for sure though, Reese won't ever be letting Ava go. 'But my petite firecracker hasn't caught up yet with this 'thing' between us. She doesn't know yet that she's it for me. She's hot and cold, fighting her feelings for me, but she'll get there eventually. She'll realize she's in love with me. Because yeah, I am that arrogant.'
Although this book is a collaboration of several authors, it is not felt while reading it. The style is the same throughout the book. The book is beautifully written and a joy to read. Without any heavy topics and with a happy ending. This is a book to relax with.
I really wanted to love this book. I was enjoying myself for the most until Reese and Ava went to Vegas. The story line felt very confusing to me. I kept telling myself “wtf” almost every page cause I genuinely was so confused on what was going on. I knew going into this book that it was anthropology but in all honestly I wish it wasn’t. I felt like there was too many “plot twists” or “shocking moments” that really didn’t need to be in the story line. The book had some good moments but I had to reread some of the chapters just because it didn’t make sense for the story line. The spice was exceptional but i felt like it could’ve been written better. Overall I give the book at 3.5 stars!
Thank you Give me books promotions for gifting me an e-ARC ❤️
I picked this up because I saw the name of an author I really like, turns out she only wrote one chapter. This book was by multiple authors and you can tell. The plot is all over the place and there are holes and there are parts that are drastically unbelievable. Was not the one for me.

*** would love to read this one again!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Beauty and the Bosshole, co-authored by Nichole Rose, Kat Baxter, Hope Ford, Dani Wyatt, Cassie Mint, Sadie King, Loni Ree, Kaci Rose, Tory Baker, and Megan Wade, is a delightful romantic comedy that delivers laughs and heartwarming moments in equal measure. This collaborative effort showcases the unique styles of each author while weaving a cohesive and engaging narrative.
The premise revolves around a chaotic yet charming love story that unfolds between the titular "beauty" and her "bosshole." The characters are well-developed, with distinct personalities that shine through in their interactions. I particularly enjoyed how the authors infused humor into the dialogue, making it both relatable and entertaining. The banter between the leads is sharp and witty, providing many laugh-out-loud moments that kept me turning the pages.
One of the standout aspects of this book is its lighthearted approach to romance. The plot is filled with amusing mishaps and misunderstandings that create a fun atmosphere without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary drama. Each chapter brings a new twist that keeps the story fresh and engaging. The chemistry between the main characters is palpable, with their journey from adversaries to lovers being both believable and enjoyable.
While the storyline is entertaining, there were moments where it felt a bit predictable, which is why I’m giving it a solid 4-star rating instead of a perfect score. However, the charm of the characters and the humor throughout more than compensates for any clichés in the plot. The collaborative nature of this book adds an interesting dynamic, as each author contributes their flair to different chapters.
Overall, Beauty and the Bosshole is a fun read that will appeal to fans of romantic comedies. It’s perfect for those looking for a light-hearted escape filled with laughter and love. I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a good chuckle and a sweet love story!
Beauty and the bosshole is a multi author collaboration. The basic premise is agreed on, and each author writes a chapter. Individually these authors are great, but all together wow. I loved the plot, instalove at its best Reese definitely falls hard and fast for Ava in this boss / assistant romance. The dual pov writing brings depth to the characters, and you can understand their thoughts clearly. Reese is very intense, OTT Alpha male vibes of course being the CEO/owner of a highly successful adult toy company would contribute to these attributes, he's also cold and distance. Until Ava walks through his office door for an interview. Ava is smart, headstrong, caring, curvy and friendly. She just wants to do well and make people happy, though her bosshole is causing some issues with the plan. An impromptu trip to Vegas to deal with an unsavoury budding business partner speeds up Reese and Ava's inevitable relationship time line, and a drunken night leads to wedding rings.
If you enjoy spice, alpha males, workplace romance, he falls first, steamy scenes, pure love, instalove, instaromance, boss/assistant romance, meddling family, virgin female lead, dual pov writing, and HEAs then you'll enjoy this.
Beauty and the Bosshole is a hilarious charity-themed rom-com written by multiple authors.
The story revolves around Ava Matthews, a sassy and vibrant woman determined to save as many kittens as possible, and Reese Donovan, the grouchy yet magnetic CEO of the biggest sex toy company in the United States. Their worlds collide when Reese asks Ava to model for his company's new campaign. Initially, she refuses, but the promise of funds to support her beloved kitten shelter changes her mind.
What starts as a professional arrangement quickly spirals into chaos. How does Ava find herself married to Reese and waking up in his bed within just 24 hours? Is this whirlwind romance fueled by genuine attraction, or does Reese have ulterior motives?
If you're looking for a light, fun, and steamy read, this story is perfect. The witty banter and sizzling chemistry between Ava and Reese make for an entertaining ride. While the plot isn’t particularly deep (it’s meant to be lighthearted and playful), the characters' contrasting personalities shine through, keeping readers hooked.
My favorite part? Ava’s shock and confusion when she realizes she’s married—definitely a laugh-out-loud moment!
This was chaotic in the absolute best way possible. I went into this book knowing the premise and that there was going to be some wild twists. No rules and each author gets a chapter? Yah it’s going to be a hilarious hot mess and the spice is going to be top tier. If you go into it with that mind set, and knowing that it’s probably not going to make the most realistic sense, it’s a great book! Ava is a sassy, sweet as pie, curvy woman who comes into her own throughout the book. Reese is exactly like the books title, he’s a bosshole who loves hard, is loyal to a fault and would do anything to make the ones he loves happy. There’s so many times in this book I said “wait, what?!” And then burst out laughing when the plot twist hits the next chapter. The Nina and Leon storyline ticked me off to no end, but it definitely made for some interesting drama! No cheating, no OM/OW drama (OW mentioned by parents as a business deal but she’s never in the actual book), virgin FMC, crazy twists, HEA and epilogue 5 years in the future. The books proceeds go to a great cause and it will keep you thoroughly entertained and wondering where it’s going next. Such a fun project and great outcome!
This was such a fun and exciting read for me, not only did ten of my favorite authors write this masterpiece but it has it all. Humor, Boss/Employee trope, accidental marriage, cats, Grumpy/Sunshine trope and Heat and Steamy as far as the eye can see.
It was such an enjoyable read and I had a blast, Reese and Ava are the perfect couple and characters individually as well, they he’s a grumpy boss who is not above doing whatever he can to keep Ava married to him and Ava is a spitfire who wants to save cats and gets a whole lot more than she bargains for.
I loved the book so much, all the authors did a phenomenal job on it and not only did we get a fantastic book by them but it also is for a good cause as well. Think that makes this book all the more special, and you really can’t go wrong with buying it, you get a fun new book and while simultaneously helping people in need with the charity.
It is a full length book, with No Cheating and an absolute HEA.
I've been reading all of their books for a long time, because their books are short, light, and with quick romances.🥰
But this book has the touch of each one, it's not that short and the connection of the protagonists is instantaneous but then it goes slowly according to the plot.
I have to say that I didn't like his mother at the beginning 🫣, but when it was explained why she is like that; I loved her. ❤️🩹
I liked how Ava faced the problems despite her fear, I was also deceived with her nightmare, I really thought it didn't happen 😂❤️
Since he saw her, he knew that she was his, even if he didn't want to at first❤️
How they faced the problem as a couple, and accepted the bad guy in the end is beautiful, because not only was the bad guy given that opportunity but also the other person❤️
Yes! This was so awesome. Instalove perfection! I absolutely loved the idea and the execution. The story flowed so well and with so many authors, that is seriously impressive. I adored both characters so much. They were completely smitten with each other. They fought their attraction and lost. But it was so sweet, charming, funny and smexy. Their chemistry was seriously coming off the pages. I loved their work relationship and how it changed into a loving one. Leon and Nina were two very flamboyant secondary characters, in personality and style. Lol. I was happy with how everything was resolved. From beginning to end I was riveted to the story. This was also for such a good cause. It was a great idea in every way.
I received a complimentary copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
I received this as an an arc from Instalove Influencers and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.
This was a fantastic boss employee romance. I loved the concept of a story where each chapter was written by a different author and I really felt like most of the chapters succeeded in creating a narrative that worked, but I did spot a few places where the story took a bit of a leap from one chapter to the next and I had to go back and reread the previous part to see if I missed something. But the story was so good. Reese and Ava had fantastic chemistry and I loved their banter. But I have to admit that I didn’t enjoy the Nina/Leon storyline and especially not how it ended, that was probably my least favorite part of the book. It luckily Ava and Reese were the main focus point and I loved them.
This was a wonderfully written multi-author read. Several authors each took a chapter and gave us a funny, sassy, romance based around Reese Donovan, the wealthy owner of a novelty sexy toy company. Reese is not an easy guy to be around. Between his All Business attitude and a mother who is constantly in his business the man is a constant grump. He goes through assistants like water spilling from a cup. That is until Ava shows up for the job and I guess I should mention his meddling mother hired her. Needless to say, Reese wants her gone but Ava is determined to stay. Let the fun begin….
This is a funny, romantic book with a few twists and turns. Lots of laughs, and one wild business trip to Vegas.
Wow! I absolutely loved this book. Amazing characters and wonderful plot. Very beautifully written and easy to read.
Reese Donovan is a grumpy billionaire and a CEO of Aurora, a sex toy company. When he fires his HR person, he is forced to interview Ava Matthews himself. He was immediately attracted to her and her spunky personality, so he hired her as his assistant.
A few days later, he needed to go to Las Vegas to handle business and he took her with him. And so their wild adventures began. I loved how Reese wasn’t afraid to show Ava how he felt towards her. They were made for each other.
Overall I loved this book very much. If you’re looking for a boss/employee, billionaire romantic comedy then you’re going to love it.
This story hit all the right spots. It was a sweet, but sexy, banter filled love story that had me loving every minute of my reading experience. Enjoyable from page 1. ~Jen
This was a fun but "over the top" story to read. I tend to enjoy these types of stories where different authors write different chapters to continue the story. This definitely adds to the quirkiness of the story as they characters often deviate from what you expect. Imagine Reece, a sex toy company owner and Ava his curvy assistant in Vegas dealing with an eccentric mobster and his mother. What could go wrong other than everyone finding their HEA. If you need a fun distraction from the world, this story is a good one to grab. I chuckled throughout the sexy romp of a story. ~Cindy
Esse livro foi escrito por 10 autoras. É uma única história, cada autora escrevendo um capítulo e passando para a próxima autora continuar. O resultado? Uma bagunça total. Incoerência nos acontecimentos, personalidades diferentes dos protagonistas a cada capítulo, um vilão que uma hora era um mafioso, na outra um homem de negócios corrupto, na outra um gangster e depois só um cara apaixonado. Ninguém chegou num acordo ali sobre nada nessa história, que começou promissora e terminou numa grande decepção. Eu ia até detalhar algumas dessas inconsistências (além dessa indecisão sobre o que o vilão era afinal de contas), mas a história acabou sendo tão maçante, que nem quero mais falar sobre ela. Não gostei e não recomendo!
Can we say one-of-a kind over-the-top shenanigans from sex toys and mobsters? You know, just your typical everyday work life. Oh, and we can’t forget the most important ingredient: an insta love/lust between boss and employee. You know the everyday fantasy we all have when you have a hot boss and a Vegas backdrop. Beauty and the Bosshole is basically an anthology; each chapter is written by different authors, so you get a fresh perspective with every page turn, which was kind of interesting. Overall, this was a quick and entertaining read, and I’m excited to look into some of these authors personal book catalogues.
I was gifted an E-ARC and this is my honest review.
From the writer’s note warning readers that every author could add any twist they wanted, I was hooked by this tale! I love Ava calling him “Mr. Bosshole”! 🥰 Can you get any better than that? Well, wait a few chapters because a plane scene is coming! 🔥
I love an office romance with a feisty assistant and the man falling for her. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun reading a book! Comedy, funny moments with sexy moments and an alpha man who adores his woman. Oh and the animatic graphics that were supposed to represent the characters? Chef’s kiss!
I honestly don't know how these authors were able to pull this book together. There's quite a few authors and it did get chaotic at some points but I think it made the story so much better!! Ava is Reese's Secretary and he acts like a total jerk towards her so she thinks her crush is one sided but remember what they always told us in elementary school, boys pick on the girls that they like...and boy did Reese like Ava... Between Reese's vibrant mom and a sleazy "mobster", this book was bound to be hilarious and it was!! Ava gave Reese heck just like he did her..they were truly a match made in office romance heaven!! 5⭐ 3🌶
This is a very cute story written jointly by several authors. It's got some big surprises I didn't see coming. For the most part it works and is a funny, spicy and enjoyable read. At one part it felt to me like there was a big change in the main characters behavior which I thought could have been worked more smoothly maybe adding another chapter. The rest of the story flowed naturally. Reese and Ava are a great match. Their personalities compliment each other. The romance part of the story was fun and spicy. There was plenty of other action happening too. This was a fun and enjoyable read.

This book is one story but by different authors who tie it all together. Reese is a jerk of a boss and he can't keep an assistant. When Ava walks in to interview right away the sparks fly. She doesn't take any of his crap and has no issues telling it like it is. While Reese deals with issues with his company and his nosey mother he's also dealing with his attraction to Ava. When they have to go to Vegas for a trip things start to turn crazy. Can these two weather the storm that's about to hit them? And can they have a happily ever after when all the dust settles?
This was such a unique story in the way it was written and it had me glued in from the beginning to end curious how the flow would be. Ava and Reese were such a delight because their banter was amazing, as well as their intense attraction. Reese is such a great book boyfriend with his over the top ways and intense need for Ava and Ava was such a sweetheart that can hold her on and you can’t help but love these two. The flow to me seemed seamless and the story had me smiling throughout, I loved it.
Reese Donovan needs assistance and Ava is exactly what he wants but cannot have. Ava wanted the position of working for Reese but she had to fight him all along. There is drama, steam, heat, suspense, love, laughter and intense characters that left me breathless and wanting more. Such an amazing story that I loved reading and couldn't gobble it up fast enough.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with all the different authors writing this book but it is exceptional. I love Ava and Reese. He may be a bosshole but he’s a loving one. And his mom Nina is a hoot! Not sure how the authors wrote the story to make it flow so nice but it is well written, great dialogue, great characters, steamy ands sweet with a great HEA. Loved it.
