Throw your sexual harassment training out the window because this story smashes every law on the books.
Lately, I've really been into over-the-top books and Bossed Three Times definitely fits that description. There are parts of this book that I enjoyed a lot (smutty fun times) but there are other parts that didn't quite work for me (unexpected peril and an underdeveloped romance).
Arianna has just left a toxic relationship with her boyfriend. Seeking refuge, she moves in temporarily with her best friend, Sasha. Arianna needs a new job, so she hits the jackpot when she scores an interview for a secretary position with Camelot Holdings.
The company is owned by three super hot men: Damien, Hunter, and Sean. Arianna is attracted to them immediately and the interview becomes incredibly sexually charged when it's clear that the attraction is mutual. It's an unconventional interview, to say the least. The men set up a second interview with Arianna, this one to be conducted over Skype.
Needless to say, the Skype call goes awry but ends up working out in Arianna's favor. She gets the job, but how is she going to keep her cool around not one, but three hot bosses?
Arianna ends up in a relationship with all three men. That's something I had an issue with since it happens so quickly--basically insta-lust. Also, I liked the three guys for the most part, but I didn't get a clear sense of their personalities. Each guy blended into the next from scene to scene. There are moments when you get a hint of their individuality, but I would have liked to get to know them better. This also happens a lot during the sex scenes--I swear I couldn't keep track of who was doing what, no matter how hard I tried.
Additionally, there's some unexpected peril toward the end of the book. While the action scenes are fast-paced, they shift the focus away from the growing romance and emotional connection, which I would have liked to be more developed.
Having said all that, the sex scenes are ridiculously hot. Like, your Kindle might catch fire while you read this, they're so hot. On the smutty scale of one to ten, this one's definitely a ten.
Overall, I liked some parts of the book much more than others but still enjoyed it. I'll be checking out other books by this author in the future.
I received an advance copy of this book from the author.
