I voluntarily read and reviewed this for Bad Boy Update.
Wow, what a great nine book box set by Leslie North. All books were previously published and it’s a great bargain and convenient to have them bundled. I read some of these books previously as free arcs. Included are the first three books in the Manhattan Bosshole Series, The Billionaire Bosshole Series and The Bossy Glendale Billionaire Series. All the books are full-length with happy endings and no cliffhangers. I read this box set a a free review copy via Bad Boy Updates and voluntarily chose to write a review. All the men are grumpy or grouchy, but gorgeous and rich
Perfect (Mis)match #1 of Manhattan Bossholes is one that I hadn’t previously read. You’ll love Piper and Vincent’s story that begins when he rear-ends her car. A fake relationship and plenty of drama. Does fake become real?
On the Rocks #2 Manhattan Bossholes is one that I previously read and gave a five-star review to. Aiden and Cora were high school sweethearts until he broke her heart. And he breaks her heart even more when they run into each other 15 years later and he doesn’t recognize her. She’s a mixlogy expert with dreams of opening a speakeasy and he’s a billionaire liquor creator. After much ado, she finally accepts his too good to be true job offer. Old sparks ignite and her troublesome ex comes back into the picture. What secret is her mother keeping. Why does he break her heart a third time? What about the anger management issues? This was a great book with an engaging story line. An emotional roller coaster with a happy ending and no cliffhanger. I loved how Aiden had such special friends and how they all supported each other and welcomed Cora. There’s always a way for love to succeed if you work at it. I read a free advance copy via Bad Boy Updates and voluntarily chose to review it.
Designed for Disaster #3 Manhattan Bossholes – is another fake relationship troupe that has a happy ending
Mr. Grump Billionaire Bossholes #1 . Kaitlyn is upset to find out that her one-night-stand is also her new boss! A single father that wins her heart. A happy ending and no cliffhanger
Mr. Jerk Billionaire Bossholes, #2) This is one that I previously read and is the second book in the Billionaire Bossholes. You'll love Noah and Maddy's story. An eighteen year age-gap, but their chemistry was off the charts. They first met when they accidentally got booked for the same hotel room while attending a wedding. A few thrown shoes, a broken zipper, a shared bed and a new job as his assistant. He was a major sports agent and a total jerk. Prepare to lose a little sleep because you won't be able to put this book down. Some drama, some angst with his clients, a manipulating ex and some cute banter. A good story with well-developed characters and an engaging storyline. I read a free arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.
Mr. Cocky is the Billionaire Bossholes #3 book and is photographer Maxine and billionaire Theo’s story. A pretend relationship, steamy scenes and consequences. Happy ending and no cliffhanger.
The Bossy One Bossy Glenhaven Billionaires #1 is one I previously read and loved. Olivia and Declan's first met on a plane, and it wasn't a good first impression for either of them. He was grumpy and she talked non-stop. He was on the way to get his little niece Catie and take her back to Ireland while his sister was in rehab. Olivia was a nanny who kept getting fired because she stood up to the parents when they weren't doing right by their children. She gave him some advice on what to look for in a nanny. Imagine their surprise when she's the nanny the agency sends to him. The book is over 400 pages, so there's plenty of story line and character development. They're at each other's throat until chemistry kicks in. A story that will grab you in, and you'll probably lose a little sleep because you won't be able to put it down. A happy ending and no cliffhanger. I read a free copy via Bad Boy Updates and voluntarily chose to review it,
The Grumpy One Bossy Glenhaven Billionaires #2 is one I just read and loved it. It didn’t take me long to get involved emotionally with Natalie James. From cleaning floors to a successful career and a gorgeous billionaire. Happy endings are the best endings.
The Grouchy One Bossy Glenhaven Billionaires #3 is about diamond broker, Cameron and Felicity. An enemy to lovers romance that will tug at your heart. A fake romance for PR purposes. Does fake become real.
This is a 9 book boxset of grumpy goodness, well eventually it turns into goodness.
Perfect (Mis)match is about Vincent Forde and Piper Doyle. Vincent rear ends Piper’s car but doesn’t apologize. Turns out he is her boss and he is the biggest bosshole ever.

Turns out that he is her boss. James finds a sketch book that belongs to Natalie and he offers her the dream job she has been wanting.
The Grouchy One Felicity gets her cab stolen by a sexy billionaire, she is on her way to a job interview. When she gets to the interview she finds Cameron O’Conner is the one interviewing for the job. Heck hires her for the job and gives her a ridiculous amount of pay. Rumors start. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book via Bad Boy Update.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Boxed Set. The arrangement I read was different than what is presented. There were three sets of three full-length related novels. They all have in common a grumpy (rich) boss relationship. The first is Mr. Grump, Mr. Jerk, and Mr Cocky. The second set is Bossy Glenhaven Billionaires: The Bossy One with Declan and Olivia, The Grumpy One with James and Natalie (not to be confused with the James that was Mr. Grump with Kaitlyn in the first set), and the Grouchy One with Cameron and Felicity. The last set is Manhatten Bosses: Vincent, Aiden, and Trent. The bosses may be rich and grumpy but the heroines are talented, hard-working, bubbles of sunshine that make every plot completely different!
a perfect compilation of lovable short books. are those the best books ever written? no, but they do what they are designed to do: for a short while you can escape into a cute fantasy of big feelings, while still doing a great job of giving the story some background. easy, predictable, perfect!
A brilliant collection of stories which will hook you from the first book to the very last book. I loved where each book took me and I was left feeling wonderful at their happy endings
