Jealous Boss

by BJ Mann

I’m a little unhinged when it comes to getting what I want. And right now, being named partner at my VC firm is the ultimate goal. Not babysitting the senior partner’s niece while he’s away.
Then Pia Hyde walks into my office.
My goals shift.
The little vixen hijacks my thoughts 24/7. I move her into my condo the first chance I get. I lose it every time another man so much as glances at her.
And my sexy little intern? She notices.

Her Swiss boarding school education clearly paid off—she’s a master at pushing my buttons while looking innocent as sin.
When I discover she’s been neglected—emotionally, sexually—that she’s aching for someone (me, obviously, because I’ll maim anyone who touches her) to teach her how to please a man... Well. I don’t exactly have a choice, do I?
Giving Pia everything she needs becomes my mission.
Only problem? Business and pleasure were never supposed to mix.
But I’m not giving her up. So this boy from the wrong side of South Philly?
Yeah, I’m about to shed my designer suit and fight dirty.

And I never lose.

[Kursed Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Feeling responsible for his niece, Ethan Villiers’ boss leverages a quid pro quo with Ethan being named senior partner in exchange for keeping an eye on young Pia Hyde.

Although there’s not as much smut as you might expect, there’s also very little substance. If you’re looking for a fluff read, this will work.

Insanely slow he doesn’t even make the first move she does and it takes them forever.

I really had fun with this one.

It was exactly what I needed. It was short and spicy. After reading some longer books and some fantasy, I needed this story as a pallet cleanse.

Ethan Villiers is a fierce investment partner. He is a hard working, focused and working toward senior partner. His boss promises him the job if he takes care of his niece for the summer. Ethan wants to refuse but he is so close to his goal that he gives in to the request.
What he did not expect was Pia. Pia is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. She is totally off limits—-almost two decades younger than her, his intern and his bosses niece. She is the only thing standing in the way of his ultimate goal.
His attraction to Pia is overwhelming and her innocence and curiosity is like catnip to him.
Will Ethan be able to remained focused on his goal or will he give in to his cravings for Pia.
This is the second book in the series and it’s a great read.
I love how determined Pia is. She feels as she has been rejected all her life. Will Ethan prove
Her different or will he choose his career over her?
This is a spicy series with lots of drama that keeps you guessing.

Tropes/Kinks: boss/intern, virgin FMC, mf, oral, spanking, praise kink, public play

Thoughts:

This one wasn’t as good compared to the first book. An innocent virgin making most of the first moves? Not my style.

[Wendy Robinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is ridiculous, but it gets two stars for being the mindless entertainment I needed after Releasing 10

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

intriguing

Pía & Ethan are the first story I have read by this author. It was a great introduction. The end.
