So far it’s not quite a fluffy hallmark situation. So much so is almost boring. On page 86 and I feel like all we’ve read is both their thoughts. And the same thoughts over and over. We shall see if I finish. He was mean grumpy and softened a little.
I don’t feel the “you’ve got mail” side story aka your my secret admirer on the internet added to the story.
Their online names are weird.
And stay online while I sleep? Also weird.
North: “Sleep, Wind. I’ve got you.”
Got you how?? You don’t even know each other
If you like slooowww burn this is for you. Page 200 and and they “touched fingers” grabbing an item and it jolted them both
Cover didn’t quite match the personalities but they finally kiss at for real end of the book.

Adaline Miller was not having the best luck at that moment. She was due at her new job, and her car had just broken down. She had a dead phone, it was cold, and it had started to rain, and there was no one on the road to catch a ride with. Adaline got back in the car to worry herself about how she would now get herself out of this mess. First, she had lost her parents, then her grandmother, and then well... never mind. A loud rumble rolls toward her.
So she hopped out of the car and started waving her arms over her head, hoping the person on the motorcycle would see her. He does, and he pulled over, leaving his helmet with the visor down. The deep low rough voice asked, “Car trouble?” Even with his grumpy voice she walked over to see if he could help her with her car. She knew the car was definitely not fixable by someone whose mechanical expertise stops at pumping gas. He didn’t say, hello.
There was zero warmth. He didn't even ask if she was alright. If a voice could scowl, his definitely did. “Yes, please, it just died, and my phone too, and I…” With rain pouring off his helmet and leather jacket he was intimidating, towering over her by at least a foot. He got off his bike and looked under her hood only to determine it could not be fixed at that time. His shoulders tense, muscles shifting beneath his jacket while she stood a few feet back, hugging herself, shivering waiting for his verdict.
Just a tall, storm-soaked wall of a man helping her whether she likes it or not. Her luck was unreal. Nevertheless, she was grateful he was there, grateful that she wasn’t alone, soaked and stranded, grateful she was still alive. “It’s not fixable. Not here.” The bluntness hits like a punch. “Oh.” Her voice is small, swallowed by the wind. “Where are you headed?” he asks. “R‑Rexon Mansion,” she says, rain dripping from her lashes. He goes still.
Just for a moment, but enough that she notices. He just turns away from her, boots splashing through a shallow puddle as he walks straight back to his motorcycle. For a horrifying second, she thinks he’s about to leave her here. He stops beside the bike, glances over his shoulder, and jerks his chin. “You coming or not?” That’s it. No context. No instructions. Just get on. Her survival instinct decides for her. “Yes! Wait. My bag.” “Where do I…um…where do I hold on?”
“To me.” This is the wildest, most reckless thing she’s ever done, he never actually confirmed he knew where the Rexon Mansion was. “Do you even know where the Rexon Mansion is?” He doesn’t respond. Not a nod. Not a hand gesture. Nothing. His hand closes over hers where it’s clinging to his waist. He pulls it forward and presses her palm flat against the motorbike’s tank—firm, deliberate, holding it in place. Recovering from her shock, she realizes he was steadying her, keeping her from slamming into him when the bike comes to a stop.
They reached a towering iron gate. Without removing his helmet, without saying a single word, he reached out and punched in a code. The gate unlocks with a heavy clank. He didn’t just know where the mansion was, he belonged there. This was her new workplace. He extends a hand. “Hunter Rexon.” The name hits her like a shock. Rexon. Her new boss. “Jane Rexon’s nephew,” he says. “You must be Adaline Miller.”
In this book, you will see how two damaged souls come together to take care of the well-being of Jane Rexon. Who ends up being their savior and loving counselor hurt souls slash matchmaker.
Hunter learned how to love without hiding. Adaline learned how to stay and still be herself. I loved Aunt Jane and Ms. Lane. But most of all seeing Hunter evolve was the best part.

Crushing On My Grumpy Billionaire Boss opens with a classic scene familiar to romance readers everywhere. On her way to a new job, on a lonely stretch of road, Adaline’s car breaks down in the middle of a thunderstorm, phone battery dead, and she is rescued by a mysterious man on a motorbike.
Her saviour turns out to be her new boss and he is not impressed. To begin with he does his best to drive her away, but she is made of sterner stuff, and has nowhere else to go anyway. She has been hired to look after his Aunt Jane, and he pretty soon changes his mind about wanting her gone.
Underneath his gruff exterior, he is actually very thoughtful. A traumatic past has caused him to build walls around his heart to keep people out. Adaline has recently run away from a controlling ex-fiancé, and is wary of trusting anyone. When he tracks her down, Hunter immediately steps up to protect her.
The characters are well drawn and believable, though the ex is understandably a bit of a cliché. We get chapters from the point of view of both Adaline and Hunter which gives us insight into why they behave as they do. The small-town setting is the perfect backdrop for this emotionally charged story to play out. This is the second book I have read by this author and it won’t be the last. Thanks to the author for providing a digital ARC.

If you’re looking for a grumpy billionaire with strong Beauty and the Beast vibes and slow burn, this is definitely the book for you. Adeline is a nurse searching for a safe place to hide and rebuild her life after everything she’s been through. When she takes a job caring for an elderly woman, she finds herself moving into a grand, secluded mansion and straight into the orbit of Hunter. Hunter is the definition of grumpy and brooding. Fiercely protective of his aunt, he keeps everyone at a distance, hiding his painful past behind thick emotional walls. But beneath that cold exterior is someone far more complicated… and far more vulnerable than he lets on. As Adeline settles into the mansion, her quiet strength and compassion begin to chip away at Hunter’s defenses. What starts as tension and distance slowly turns into something deeper, as both characters are forced to confront their pasts and learn to trust again.

This book is a cute read. I enjoyed the character growth and watching as Hunter and Adaline learned to trust each other. However, the author kept trying to make every line poetic. Which sometimes isn’t a bad thing, but when reading this it was getting exhausting trying to keep track of the similes and metaphors. The story was cute. But sometimes it was hard to relate to characters that seemed too polished? No, seemed too beautiful. Beautiful in the way that the way they think was a little too musical. It was just exhausting to say the least. Despite all that, the story really is cute and the characters are fun to read about.
This definitely wasn’t my favorite book, but it’s also not the worst.
I understand how hard it is to write a book and put it out there. So I don’t want to give so much hate but reward the bravery.
It takes a special kind of courage to let the world read a piece of your heart. 🫶🏼

From the title and cover, figured that it would be an entertaining rom-com. However, it was much more - far deeper emotionally. Adaline joins the Rexon house as a nurse for Hunter's aunt in small town Rose Hills, where many haven't stayed long due to Hunter's expectations and grumpiness. Though, Adaline is escaping a work-related romance and desiring to start over anew. Unfortunately, they bring much baggage to the scenario that needs to be untangled. Their only support seems to be 'Heartline' - an online connection with another related to difficult scenarios. Amidst it all, the story digs deep emotionally to unravel it all. A book where someone can expect more that will maintain one's interest throughout.

Amazing
I truly love her writing style. It's sort of poetic, yet not. It's sort of minimalist and simple, yet deep and profound. It speaks deep truths in simple terms. A truly touching story with depth of emotion conveyed in few words. The style itself keeps me engaged. The simple truths stated, poignant. The story itself is just icing on the cake, for me. Loved how everyone got their happily ever after. The choices made, good ones.
The good feeling lingers well after finished reading. Nice!

Loss and Betrayal
I thoroughly enjoyed the emotions of "Crushing On My Grumpy Billionaire Boss", by Mila Moss. This book was filled with humorous moments, sarcasm, small-town life, loss and betrayal. From page one, the circumstances seemed to endeavor to cause friction between the two main characters to ignite!! I loved the familial atmosphere and the bonding of love and truth. However, there were a few mild curse words that I thought could have been edited out. Due to that, I gave this story 4 out of 5 stars.

Getting to a new job but your car breaks foen and the one who helps you ends up being your boss. Yes that it what happened to Adeline on her way to her new job as a nurse after a horrible break-up. Hunter was trying to stay home, watch over who ever took care of his aunt and try to forget the town that did not like him. It was a wonderful story of growth, persistence, leaning and much more. Two humans who where connected even thought that did not know it yet. But I really liked the story and characters ♡

Dude, so many highlighted passages
Important bits first. Super clean slow burn retelling of Beauty and the Beast. He's rich and a villain in town. She comes to his cursed mansion to be a caretaker to his aging aunt. He's already got a housekeeper. She disturbs him and his silent home. She has a handsome suave man obsessed with possessing her. She ran away. But I was taken by the way they spoke of being chosen.

Strength, seeing and being the real you
The main characters had hard lives, but were able to finally see each other for who they were and to be there for one another. I really enjoyed the journey they took together. I think others will enjoy this book too.

Crushing
Hunter and Adaline are such interesting characters. This book is filled with a lot of emotions. Both running from their past and trying to keep themselves safe from further disappointment. A great enemies to lovers story.

Two broken people, who meet first on line. Both have faced loss and don’t trust easily. Falling in love and finally believing in each other is a rough but touching journey.

Plus un 3,5 qu’un 4.
C’était mignon, prévisible mais mignon.
Le côté coup de foudre immédiat est un peu trop boring, mais ça au final ça reste agréable à lire.

2.5 stars. This is a pretty disappointing romance. You can count the number of conversations they have with each other on one hand. 95% of this book is internal monologues.

beautiful
This was such a beautiful story. It showed the power of understanding and seeing and not judging. I really liked the themes and how the characters came together.

Great read not too soppy!
Well written with a broody boss, drama, a rescue and HEA. What's not to like?! Will look for this author again.

Adaline's car breaks down on the road on a rainy night. A biker on a motorcycle stops to help her and gives her a ride. She later learns he is Hunter Rexon, her new boss! She is here at Rexon Mansion to help his Aunt Jane. Unknown to both of them they communicate on Heartline as NORTH and WIND. Maybe along the way they will be able to tell each other their real names or actually meet? Hunter realizes he is pushing away so as not to hurt her. But Analine stands tall with him at the town meeting and she is glad to be there. He "learned how to love without hiding." She "learned how to stay and still be herself."
