To be honest I was frustrated

I have read several books written by this author and this one felt very different. Spoilers ahead- the main character, Nina, was insanely frustrating. First she says “I hate you” at least a dozen times to the main character Luka like she’s a teenager. She also constantly puts herself into danger for no reason. She gets shot at in a parking lot but still insists on entering her apartment alone. Sees her apartment door is open and trashed? Walks right in and gets knocked over the head. Hears alarming news from Luka’s rival, doesn’t tell him a thing. She’s in a house for safety after getting a concussion and she escapes to only be kidnapped. It’s crazy. This girl lacks any sense. She sees red flags from her brother and others, and says nothing to Luka. She creates a set of relationship rules, one being he cannot reveal their relationship so that no one thinks she climbed up the ladder because of Luka, and then gets mad he follows her rules. She keeps secrets from Luka and is constantly mad at him. The man who gave her a concussion runs at her so Luka shoots him to stop him and Nina is actually mad at Luka who just saved her life. Shes honestly the worst and a very frustrating character. She gets shot at, has a concussion, and gets kidnapped and by the end of the book she still jokes she doesn’t need security…I’m sorry what? It got to the point where I had no desire for them to even be together. This was a long book with tea trim after tantrum brought to you by the main character. Luka was great but Nina was insufferable.

great potential, but the dialogue was distracting

I really wanted to love this book because the storyline had so much potential, and I genuinely liked both the FMC and MMC. Unfortunately, the writing style was just too distracting for me.

One of the biggest issues was the dialogue. Contractions were rarely used, so characters would say things like “I do not” or “I cannot” instead of “I don’t” or “I can’t.” People just don’t typically speak that way, and it felt especially unnatural in a mafia romance. Because of that, so many of the conversations came across as rehearsed or overly formal rather than genuine interactions between two people who have feelings for each other.

I really did want to keep reading because I was interested in the story and wanted to know what happened, but I found myself getting so distracted and frustrated by the dialogue that I ultimately couldn’t finish.

There was definitely a lot of potential here, though! If the dialogue style isn’t something that would bother you, I’d still say give it a read because the storyline itself was really promising.

Sexting His Assistant by Liz Archer is a fun, steamy forbidden romance featuring Nina, her silver-fox Bratva boss Luka, and one very badly timed text message! I loved the chemistry and push-and-pull between these two, especially Nina’s attitude and Luka secretly enjoying every bit of it. The age gap and Bratva danger added plenty of intensity, while the unexpected pregnancy announcement brought an extra dose of drama.
The story moves at a great pace, keeping the tension high and the pages turning. Liz Archer’s writing is fast, engaging, and packed with chemistry, though I would have happily taken a little more development of some of the conflicts. Still, Luka’s possessive alpha energy and Nina’s spirited personality make them a very entertaining pair.
Overall, this was a spicy, dramatic, and thoroughly enjoyable forbidden romance with plenty of steam, danger, and a satisfying HEA. 4.5 stars!

Sexting His Assistant by Liz Archer delivers a fun, steamy forbidden romance with plenty of chemistry, tension, and the kind of older, confident hero that made this story hard to put down. The age-gap dynamic added an extra layer of excitement, while the Bratva element brought danger and intensity to the romance. I especially liked the push-and-pull between the characters and how their relationship developed despite all the reasons they probably shouldn’t be together. The sexting setup made for some entertaining moments, and the attraction between them is obvious from the start. The story moved at a good pace and kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. Overall, Sexting His Assistant was a fun and spicy read!

Part of "Forbidden Silver Foxes". Nina has been Luka Kazan's personal assistant for long enough that she doesn't even pretend that she's not giving him attitude and secretly, Luka loves it. But part of her many tasks is keeping track of all his "women" and that is wearing really thin. One day in of a a fit of rebellion, she sends a sexy text to a guy who she really isn't into, only to discover it went to her boss. She thinks he's going to fire her, but instead he puts the conference room table to good use. He makes her rearrange his schedule and then insists that she accompany him to a gala. Just when she gets her hopes up that there can be something between them, one of his women announces that she pregnant.

Sexting His Assistant is a Contemporary romance between Bratva boss Luka Kazan and his long suffering assistant.
They both are attracted to each other in silence but the line doesn’t get crossed until FMC Nina responds to a text using sexually explicit language and accidentally sends it to Mr. grumpy boss while they are in a boardroom meeting. Luka’s fire is lit and he lapses for one steamy moment after clearing the room.
Enjoyed this spicy, dramatic, dangerous, intrigue rich, reveals, Bratva dynamic story with age-gap romance, and nice writing crafted into an entertaining, emotional, passionate read. HEA.

This is the 24th book in this series, and this is Luka and Nina’s story.
Nina has knows Luka her whole life, and he is her brother’s best friend and Bratva kingpin, whom she has fantasized about. Nina is Luka’s executive assistant, and when she accidently sexted him during a board meeting, he calls for a break telling her to stay.
This is a well written story which has family, friendships, emotions, secrets, grumpy / sunshine, opposites attract, kidnapping, danger, suspense, intrigue, an age gap, workplace romance, morally grey, humour, witty banter, intense chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, dark Bratva romance.

I absolutely **loved this sexy cover!** 🔥 And the book itself was just as good!

The story starts off with Nina accidentally sexting Luka during a meeting… like, **holy crap!** 😂 Talk about an unforgettable first impression! And can I just say, Luka is one **sexy bastard**. 🥵

Nina and Luka were absolutely made for each other. Their chemistry was off the charts, and I loved watching their relationship unfold. This was such a fast-paced, fun read that kept me completely hooked. I never wanted it to end!

Definitely a book I’d recommend if you’re looking for a sexy romance with great chemistry and a couple you can’t get enough of! ❤️‍🔥

Sexting His Assistant was such a fun, steamy read! I loved the forbidden boss-and-assistant setup and the chemistry between the characters. What starts as some flirty texting quickly turns into something neither of them expected, and I enjoyed watching their relationship develop.

The characters had great chemistry, plenty of tension, and just enough drama to keep me turning the pages. If you enjoy workplace romance, secret attraction, possessive heroes, and a little spice, this one is definitely worth picking up. A quick, entertaining read that kept me hooked!

4.5 stars.

This story has been so good to read, it held my attention from the start and never let go. I loved the interactions between them, I believed in their connection and chemistry, and in them as a couple. Their story had some danger, ome unknown, humour, relationships being tested, a surprise or two along the way and changes to behaviour, thoughts and feelings. I really liked spending time with these two, they had so much to give me as a reader and I enjoyed the journey they took me on.

OMG!! Luka and Nina are so hot together. I fell in love with Nina. She is so smart, sassy, and can hold her own up to Luka. I really just couldn't get enough of their back and forth and when they finally end up together. I was rooting for them the whole time. I loved, loved their HEA!! Oh, and you can not overlook Luka's mama, however, you'll just have to read to know what I'm talking about. I love her so much.

I absolutely LOVE Luka and Nina’s quick back and forth banter. He’s the CEO and mafia boss. She’s the executive assistant with a REALLY impressive notebook. We have the accidental text. The hot hookups. And then…the pregnant ex and missing brother and WHO is leaking info?

I honestly didn’t catch the leak till…too late.

Also- can Luka’s mom have her own book? She is a force and I think I’d love to see her HEA.

The spice was spicy. The tension was high. I stayed up too late to finish this and I regret nothing.

”There’s something quieter in his face this morning, something less armored than usual. It makes me nervous. I prefer him arrogant and impossible. Arrogance gives me something to push against. This version of him, half-dressed in my sheets with sleep shadows under his eyes, feels far more dangerous.”


What do I do with authors like Archer whose books are so wildly uneven? Whose formulaic covers and titles are probably computer-generated, but who write — every now and then — books that make the crappy ones worth ignoring.

This book had my emotions all over the place. Their antic and banter drew me in and when she sent that text I was laughing and wished I was in the board room to see Luka's reaction. That text starts their exciting path that is filled with action-packed drama that pairs these two well and watching their relationship unfold was thrilling as I cheered them along.

A story full of emotions, making it a rollercoaster at times. Luka and Nina were amazing together. Their story is full of drama, action, suspense, danger, and plenty of romance. What started as a mistake with a message to her boss grew into something more. I enjoyed their journey and it is definitely highly recommended!

Another wonderful story by Liz Archer, I have been a fan of her work for sometime and her stories just keep getting better and this is no exception. I couldn't put it down as it had me hooked from the start. This is a darker, more dangerous romance but no less hot and steamy, with strong characters and a strong story-line from start to finish.

Encore une fois, j'ai ouvert ce livre pour m'amuser, à la faveur de l'abonnement kindle et j'ai été agréablement surprise.
C'est une romance billionaire mafieu, c'est bourré de clichés mais bon quelque part, c'est ce que je recherchais sinon je n'aurais pas cliqué sur ce livre. Pour autant, l'histoire a fonctionné surtout grâce au fait que, pour une fois, on alterne les points de vue à chaque chapitre. Cela aide à l'immersion.

I just love reading Liz's book they are always so much. They always contain sexy men who is everyone's dream guy. The spice is spicy but nice (I've read hotter, but I love her scenes they are always like a real-life couple with a great sex life) The chemistry between the characters is great and I love the drama that she throws in as well and ends up with a Hea. I can't wait to read her next book.

She never meant to send that text to him, when he got it everything changed. He knew he shouldn't have crossed the line with her but then the shooting started and that changed everything. She knew his real world was full of danger and that her brother wanted her to stay away from it. She was stuck between him and her brother until she isn't. I would love to read more, maybe a book about her brother.

great book!

Great book, but I still have a lot of unanswered questions! Enough for a second book to be written!! I did really enjoy the book. I usually get a little bored in the middle but not this time! I couldn’t but the book down! The end really surprised me and that’s hard to do!

This book was so wonderful! Loved the characters, the story, the drama, traumas and all that sexy stuff. When you have a just lickable guy on the cover it should appear once in awhile on the pages during the reading. I had to go back to drool over Luka 4 or 5 times during reading. Oh Liz! You nailed this book!

Office romance at its best…

Luka is a strong character that fits well in this heated office romance. The female man character can be a bit taxing as she seems to like to push buttons and disregard dangers. Overall, an entertaining story.

Nina and Luka are both a strong couple which makes them always struggling for dominance in their relationship. Nina is amusing at times with her banter with Luka. A little mystery involved with her brother missing. But under it all a good love story.

1/5 ⭐️ 🤖

The plot was semi-interesting but predictable. The writing was too robotic, and the overuse of metaphors was annoying. There were a lot of grammatical errors, and the characters were flatter than a crepe.
