"He's known for devouring his assistants. Professionally and... otherwise." "Sounds like a nightmare boss." "He already was—before I realized he was the stranger from my one-night stand." I thought changing careers would solve my problems. Instead, I'm trapped between Troy Gunner's desire, his family's threats, and the secret growing inside me— our baby.
Romance novelist Monica is in crisis. Her latest book was a flop, her relationship has failed, and an obsessive fan is threatening her.
Monica needs a change of scenery and a steady income to eliminate her financial worries. Since she previously worked as a personal assistant, it seems like the obvious choice. She gets the job and celebrates with her friend Addison at a bar.
And promptly ends up in bed with an attractive stranger...
On her first day at work comes the The stranger turns out to be her new boss, the incredibly wealthy Troy Gunner, who is accustomed to getting what he wants—in business and with women.
He particularly enjoys seducing his assistants, and this one is exactly to his taste—and the first one he's already bedded outside the office.
But nobody can find out about this. Especially not Troy's father, who always threatens to disinherit him at the next scandal. So Troy tries to keep Monica at a distance and pretend nothing happened.
But it doesn't end Troy takes what he wants. And that's Monica. In his office.
But then his dark past catches up with him, shaking Monica to her core. And that's not his ex also seems to be playing a role in his life again.

Zur Story:
"Er ist dafür bekannt, seine Assistentinnen zu verschlingen. Beruflich und... anderweitig." "Klingt nach einem Albtraum-Chef." "Das war er auch schon, bevor ich wusste, dass er der Fremde war mit dem ich eine One-Night-Stand hatte."
Ich dachte, ein Berufswechsel würde meine Probleme lösen. Stattdessen bin ich jetzt gefangen zwischen Troy Gunners Verlangen, den Drohungen seiner Familie und dem Geheimnis, das in mir heranwächst – unser Baby.
Die New Yorker Liebesroman-Autorin Monica, steckt in einer Krise. Ihr letztes Buch war ein Flop, ihre Beziehung ist gescheitert und ein aufdringlicher Fan bedroht sie.
Monica braucht einen Tapetenwechsel und ein festes Einkommen, um ihre finanziellen Sorgen zu beseitigen. Da sie früher schonmal persönliche Assistentin war, liegt das nahe. Sie bekommt den Job und feiert dies mit ihrer Freundin Addison in einer Bar.
Und landet prompt mit einem attraktiven Fremden im Bett…
Am ersten Arbeitstag dann der Schock: Der Fremde entpuppt sich als ihr neuer Boss, der schwerreiche Troy Gunner, der es gewohnt ist zu bekommen was er will - im Geschäft und bei den Frauen.
Am liebsten vernascht er seine Assistentinnen und diese hier ist genau nach seinem Geschmack – und die erste die er schon außerhalb des Büro’s flachgelegt hat.
Aber davon darf niemand davon etwas mitbekommen. Schon gar nicht sein Troy’s Vater, der immer damit droht ihn beim nächsten Skandal zu enterben. Daher versucht Troy, Monica auf Abstand zu halten und so zu tun als wäre nichts gewesen.
Doch dabei bleibt es nicht: Troy nimmt sich was er will. Und das ist Monica. In seinem Büro.
Aber dann holt ihn seine dunkle Vergangenheit ein, die Monica in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert. Aber nicht nur das: auch seine Ex scheint wieder eine Rolle in seinem Leben zu spielen.
Monica ist Liebesroman-Autorin und steckt in einer Krise, ihr letzter Roman floppte und sie braucht dringend ein geregeltes Einkommen. Schließlich kostet das Leben in New York Geld und das fehlt ihr.
Sie bekommt die Chance als Assistentin sich zu bewähren und ist nicht wirklich angetan von dem Boss, der seine Assistentinnen zu verschlingen scheint.
Bevor sie jedoch ihre neue Stelle antritt, geht sie mit Addison abends noch in eine Bar. Dort trifft sie auf einen attraktiven Mann und lässt sich auf ein Abenteuer mit ihm ein. Eine unglaubliche Nacht steht ihr bevor und doch muss sie am Morgen sich beeilen und seine Wohnung verlassen, schließlich beginnt ihr neuer Job.
Tja, was soll ich sagen, Troy ist am Morgen verwirrt weil er alleine Aufwacht, das kennt er so nicht und bekommt Monica auch nicht aus seinem Kopf. Es ärgert ihn maßlos, dass sie die war die ging.
Er geht zur Arbeit, denn er bekommt eine neue Assistentin und die will er nicht warten lassen. Nur diesmal könnte es anders laufen als erwartet 🤭. Vor ihm steht Monica, die Frau die er ohne Kleidung kennt, jeden Zentimeter ihrer Hat genossen hat und doch sollte sie Tabu sein, denn sein Vater droht ihn zu enterben, wenn es noch einmal passiert.
Nur Troy wäre nicht Troy, wenn er nicht mit dem Feuer spielen würde, denn was er will, das bekommt er auch.
Eine tolle Story, die mich sofort in einen Bann gezogen hat, unglaubliche Protagonisten die so manche Steine aus dem Weg räumen mussten und von den Missverständnissen reden wir erst mal gar nicht.
I like this book from the start. Monica was struggling with a writers block, and a friend of hers suggested a job. She knew of Monica wasn't sure about being a personal assistant, but was excited for her new job, but she went out one night after she was feeling down in the dumps She saw a good looking man across the bar. She's never done a one night stand, but she thought what the heck who was staring at her across a busy bar she ended up sleeping with him and had the best sex of her life little did she know that she would walk into the office of her new employer and they stood Troy they both were shocked and didn't know how to handle the situation. Troy was a rich bachelor man who had slept with many personal assistance. This was known by many, but they started up in a relationship, and Monica felt that her and Troy were just having a sexual relationship, but for both of them it was hot and heavy little did they know that they fell for each other in a Tumultuous relationship that ended on a good note. Very good read
Man-ho’s are really hard to like. I tried to like Troy in the beginning, and it took a loooong time for me to even consider liking him… He had a lot of growing up to do, and the hurt he inflicted was way beyond what I would tolerate.
I’ll be honest - I shipped her friendship with his sister more than I did Monica and Troy! 🤣
This book was long - I tend to read slightly shorter so I can finish without staying up all night…. The issue with this is the author has plenty of opportunities to create drama and keeps you reading! The OW was vile, the father was a douche and the female lead was slightly neurotic. A recipe for numerous disasters so I was hooked! 🤣
A solid read, but be prepared to stay up well past your bedtime.

Monika und Troy Als Autorin ist sie gerade auf Talfahrt und da wird ihr ein Job als Assistentin angeboten, den sie sehr gerne annimmt. In der Nacht vor ihrem ersten Arbeitstag lernt sie Troy kennen und hat eine phantastische Nacht mit ihm. Der Schock kommt am nächsten Tag als Beiden klar wird das er jetzt ihr neuer Chef ist, eigentlich darf er nichts mit seiner Assistentin anfangen, sonst droht ihm, das er seinen Job verliert. Die Gefühle gehen auf Achterbahnfahrt. Es wäre alles gut wenn da nicht sein Vater und seine Exfrau wären die ihnen das Leben schwer machen. Ein turbulenter Liebesroman mit wunderbar romantischen Szenen. Mir hat die Geschichte sehr gut gefallen.
3.5 stars. Monica and Troy's story was a good read and all but...The description from Amazon was not how the story went--just like the first book. This should be fixed for those who get their books based off of this description. This book basically followed the same outline as the first book. The twists, occupations and characters change but I felt like I was re-reading the first book in the beginning. The dramatic plot twists were good in a way to make it different but the ending was almost the same.
Troy is an unhappy billionaire because he does everything to gain his father's approval, even though his career and life are not what he wants. Monica is a successful romance writer who had a poorly received last book, and now she questions if she can still write. They meet at a bar, have sex, and the next morning, she meets him again as her new boss, to her personal assistant role. Their love story is not easy, with a thrilling twist. I recommend the book.
The one thing I enjoyed about this story was that it was focused on the couple. I felt Troy could've manned up much sooner. The downside was too many breakups, and not being truthful. His father was out of control and his mother should have been informed. Though the book dragged a bit, the author used her literary license for a dramatic ending that was enjoyable to the edge of your seat!
Owen has a reputation of having affairs with his PA’s, his father had given him an ultimatum, no more, CHANGE or loose everything. He had lost another PA, he had had enough and went to the pub for a drink, that night things changed, earlier a business friend was calling in a favour and wanted a friend to be his PA as she wanted a job. The next morning they both received a shock.
This author's style is very easy to follow. Her characters are easy to imagine and the spicy nature of them follows the usual tropes. What I love about this one is the lack of predictability with the twists. Good read.

And I shouldn’t have bothered. Terrible book. Rubbish characters and massive plot holes. Literally lines after a description of boxed wine it’s being opened with bottle opener. This was just one of the many errors. Avoid! I don’t know what other people saw in this book.
Having to read 80+% of this book before the FMC figures out shes pregnant after ridiculous amounts of alcohol and seafood consumption in between just drove me nuts. Especially with the title and summary leading the story that the one night stand led to an unintended pregnancy. So you knew she was pregnant the whole story. I just couldn't get around the misrepresentation.
Great book! Wonderful way to capture the readers attention in the beginning. The end was a thrill that no one expects and just the right ending. Keep up the great work! New fan alert! 😁
The blurb was very misleading, most of the blurb never happened in the book. So I liked the book but was confused through most of the book because I kept waiting for what the blurb promised to happen, which never did.
This had everything a romance should have plus craziness and hateful behavior. I love how others are woven in this story from the first book. Please read this series’s Baby Consequences by Rebecca Baker.
I really enjoyed this book. I really loved how Troy & Monica's characters evolved and grew. It also showed how anything is possible when you follow your dreams. I also loved how Heart and Daniel made some appearances there as well. Very good read!
I enjoyed reading this book. The author writes great books. It is a stand alone book with a light link to book 1.. The main characters go through several issues, like life or death experience, before getting to their HEA. It’s a good book to read. I have to be honest and say that I enjoyed Whispered Sins the most.
