Accidental Sext: A Forbidden Boss Romance

Rate this book
When you loathe your silver fox boss, you don’t quit—you send him a sext.
Accidentally.


“I can’t stop thinking about him bending me over his desk.”

That was the text I sent to my boss.
Instead of my best friend.

His reply?
“Come in early tomorrow. 7:30.”

Mr. Voss.
Six-feet-whatever of cold, silver-haired disapproval in a charcoal suit.
A stare that strips me bare without ever touching me.
Hands that look far too capable of undoing me... completely.

I expect him to fire me.

But he calls me into his office, shuts the door, and makes me an offer.
More like an ultimatum.

He needs a surrogate.
I need to keep my job.
It’s a win-win.

Until he makes one thing very clear—

He doesn’t want doctors.
Or clinics.

He wants me in his bed.
Old-fashioned.
Unprotected.

…and completely at his mercy.

This is a full-length standalone, age gap, surrogacy pregnancy, forbidden romance with delicious office spice. HEA guaranteed!

"Accidental Sext" is a deliciously addictive, one-sitting read that delivers exactly what a forbidden boss romance promises—tension, heat, and a whole lot of heart. April is a fun, relatable heroine whose accidental late-night text to her cold, silver fox boss sets off a chain reaction that’s equal parts awkward, hilarious, and wildly intense.

Mr. Voss checks every box for the ultimate billionaire boss fantasy: older, controlled, intimidating, and secretly soft beneath all that polished steel.

The age-gap dynamic and forced proximity create constant sparks, while the unexpected surrogate pregnancy arrangement raises the emotional stakes beyond just physical attraction. What could’ve been purely steamy turns surprisingly tender, with genuine vulnerability between them.

Packed with classic tropes—boss/employee, billionaire, silver fox, forbidden romance, and that unforgettable sext-gone-wrong setup—this novel is fast-paced, dramatic, and totally bingeable. If you love mature, high-heat romances with a strong heroine and a commanding hero who falls hard, this one’s a must-read.

MFC April Swan has a problem, her silver fox boss Anthony Voss is sooo HOT, and so fordidden.
After a particularly difficult day she is home texting back and forth with her bestie about his cold attitude before throwing in how she’d like to be bent over his desk, not realizing until she receives a reply that she had sent it to her boss by mistake!
MMC Anthony Voss has been interested in his Communications Manager for months and her text has just given him an idea. He needs an heir before age fifty or loose his company.
Time to make April an offer.
I enjoyed Accidental Sext which was an entertaining story that turns into a beneficial contract for both parties in a nicely written, billionaire romance that swiftly turns into much more when feelings play into their narrative.
With a little corporate intrigue, lots of spice, drama, and engaging characters a delightful read swept me up on a journey ending in a wonderful HEA.

A great story that is not as 2 dimensional as some tropes

Accidental Sext is a delightful blend of heat, humour, and heartfelt connection. What begins as a chaotic texting mishap quickly unfolds into a story that’s as emotionally rich as it is playful. The author takes a familiar trope—the wrong-number message—and infuses it with charm, depth, and a surprising amount of tenderness.

The accidental message that kicks everything off is bold and so funny, but the story doesn't lean on this alone. Instead, it uses that spark to explore how two strangers can build trust, curiosity, and attraction through words alone.

Given the spicy implications, what stands out most is the warmth, romance, and endearing emotional pull between Anthony and April. Their connection feels lived-in and sincere, even before they move forward in their "contract".

What a fun read that won't take you long to get emotionally involved with April and Anthony. The grumpy boss she couldn't stand but was attracted to. A slow burn romance with plenty of steam. No shortage of troupes in this one: age-gap, office romance, corporate sabotage, fake relationship, baby mama and more. Things get interesting when he finds out that his father's will states he must have an heir and be married in order to inherit the trust. He's 48, a widower and has no interest in marriage. He was emotionally closed off since his late wife and her 'lover' were killed in a helicopter crash. He offers to pay her to have his child and she accepts to get money to help with her niece's medical bills. Plenty of angst, twists and drama but eventually an HEA and no cliffhanger. I read a free arc via the author and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Ohh I loved these characters. April is a woman who looks after her sister and her niece. Working with Anthony is a joy and a pain. Bossy, dominant, arrogant and hot.Her dreams are full of hot moments with him in it. The silver fox keeps her on her toes. One mistaken text and her dreams are now real, but with a contract attached.
Anthony can’t help put find his communication officer hot and sexy and her text finds a solution to a problem that he has to fix fast. Oh these two , when you find out the reason he has relationship issues and how he fights his feeling. How April feelings are hit you in the face. The drama from the past and one blond Karen hmmmm. The banter, humour, hot and sexy, with emotions.
Great characters, flawed and trust me you will fall for them.

Accidental Sext is just the read you would expect from Mia Mara. It is addictive, sexy, page-turning, and intriguing. The characters are layered and seamlessly “tell” their story throughout their journey. They are determined, strong, and captivating. I love April with her grit, spunk, and her love of her family. I also learned to love Anthony from his no nonsense, firm self to the person he became as his association with April grew. The bantering and interactions between April and Anthony add to them as an interesting couple. I loved their journey as they reached for their happy ever after. This page-turning romance is full of heart-felt emotions as two people learn to accept and trust one another is worth the read and highly recommend.

Another fun and enjoyable read by Mia Mara.

An accidental text going to the subject of same text leads to a proposition. Then follows the jumble of feelings not to mention their compatibility between the sheets. April is a fun, caring but feisty character, especially when cornered.

At times Anthony’s self centredness, with the walls he’d built around him , made me want to shake him, but then again that’s part of what makes the story. He’s the stereotypical silver haired alpha boss who initially runs when he realises he’s developed strong feelings but who ultimately comes good with regard to April.

There’s no doubting that Anthony and April have strong feelings towards each other, this is their journey towards their HEA.

CEO Anthony requires an heir to keep his company and his marketing executive seems like just the right choice once he receives an accidental text from her. April is sassy enough to standup to him and they are both hiding their attraction from each other. April agrees after examining her current situation and the two enter a contract both prepared to guard their emotions from becoming involved. And the sexy times are on! In the meantime his former sister-in-law is up to mischief trying to derail his plans in favor of her own.
The banter is fun, the characters are engaging, and the story is well-developed and well-written. You couldn't ask for more. Read it and enjoy!.

I was instantly in awe of April; she is sassy and just everything you wish you could be. Anthony is the brooding, dominating boss who has clearly met his match. Their witty banter was my favorite part; it left me laughing several times. At times the contract was kind of cruel and demeaning and my heart really went out to April, but we all know how these 'fake relationships' go. 😉 This book has it all: the playful moments, light drama, and some sizzling hot scenes. Mia Mara has done it again! Another couple that has swept me off my feet!

Anthony is the controlling no feeling boss that irritates April as much as she is attracted to him. Always has this closed off demeanor and complete control of himself, she has no idea that he is attracted to her as much as she is to him. After an accidental text describing her fantasy of him, their relationship snowballs in a totally different direction. This book is full of steamy scenes, feelings disguised as contractual obligations, betrayal, drama and love that doesn’t fade even when it’s being pushed away and evaded. This was a fantastic read. Don’t miss out on this incredible book.

Anthony and April have an employer/employee relationship until April accidentally sends a series of text meant for her BFF revealing her not so professional thoughts regarding Anthony. Anthony just learned of a clause requiring he sire an heir to keep his seat as CEO. He gets to bright idea to contract April to be his surrogate . . . by natural means. What could go wrong?

The character development and plot development was well thought out. Other than the over the top circumstance, everything was realistic enough you could see something like this occurring.

This is a sunshine and brooding silver hair domineering boss story. One that will captivate you from the first to the last page. April will accidentally (or not) sexted her boss Anthony and the course of their lives will forever be changed. He is a 48 year old workaholic who needs and heir before he turns 50 and spunky, sassy April might be the solution to his problem after this sext. Watching these two characters grow close together and change before your eyes to bring them to an HEA is fascinating and fun.

WOW - great book - I liked the length of this book - it was not a 20-50 page book, it was about 200 pages and so there was lots of world and character building, lots of hot scenes - yes someone to hate and April to love. April is younger than Anthony and works for him. Book starts with the accidental text and then the excitement begins. I laughed in this book a couple of times - which I love to laugh in and around the hot scenes. The epilogue ties it up - I like that in a book also - tell what happens to the characters. All around great book!

'When you loathe your silver fox boss, you don’t quit—you send him a sext.
Accidentally.'

The characters drove the storyline and they were very compelling and complex and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and well paced. World building was excellent and solidly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

I loved April! I loved her late night!
Will Anthony though? LOL!

Love age-gap, boss/employee!

The heat in this baby would keep anyone warm during the coldest day, or Night!

Another hit from Ms. Mara!

Goodness gracious me the mouthwatering cover, Anthony and April’s characters and the romance is a spine-tingling ear ringing page turning book that you literally can’t stop reading. I love, love, love this book by Mia. In fact, it just became my #1 favorite book by her. That is until she writes another masterpiece of a book to devour.

literary masterpiece?

No it’s not a literary masterpiece, it won’t be an instant classic. Did I enjoy it though? Mostly , yes. I had a few things to nitpick, it’s not the most original story line or trope. I still feel like I don’t know very much about the characters. It was an easy read that kept me out of a slump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great story!

Anthony is CEO of the company. There is a clause that says if he is to get the company he needs and heir and wife by age fifty. He is forty - eight. He thinks April is sassy and beautiful. Of all the women he knows, she would be perfect. Now he needs to come up with a contract to seal the deal…
