Meet Tobias Banger...
He's the demanding, dominant, sexy-as-sin CEO of Banger Industries, and he's used to getting what he wants. Every time. He's built a Fortune 500 company from the ground up. The last thing he needs is a pretty woman distracting him from his empire.

One forbidden night while locked in a closet, and the office will never be the same...
The chemistry between Ellis and Tobias sizzles until raw passion ignites in a frenzy of filthy words, frantic lust, and all-consuming basic instinct. He's hell-bent on claiming her.

Well, what do you know? A shortie insta-everything book I ACTUALLY enjoyed a lot!
Super Short -- Smokin Hot -- Likable Characters -- Very Sweet -- NON-Virgin Hero (thank the f-ing GODS) -- Multiple Epilogues.

“I’m a brave man.”
“Or a crazy one.” She laughed before swiping a piece of cake off the table next to her and dabbing the frosting on my nose.
“Crazy for you, baby. Only for you.”
The story started off interestingly and it grabbed me instantly. But somehow, I think the whole first half captured me more than the second half. Around halfway through the book, I felt like it began to drag a bit. But fortunately, somewhere near the end, the story picked up its pace. All three epilogues were wonderful and I was therefore pleased with how the book ended.
This was a love story of Tobias Banger, the CEO of Banger Industries, and Ellis Ford, a curvy secretary.
In the month that Ellis had worked for Tobias, they were both attracted to each other. At first, they held back their feelings, knowing that there was a line they shouldn't cross.
Ellis knew it was very inappropriate to fantasize over her sexy boss, but whenever he was around, she had trouble controlling her body's response to him.
Tobias knew too well that it was so wrong to lust after his own secretary. But no matter how hard he tried to tell himself that she was apparently off limits, seeing her everyday only heightened his desire for her.
One day, when they were accidentally locked inside the file closet, they finally caved in to their feelings toward each other and had one scorching night together. But only a night with Ellis wasn't enough for Tobias. He needed to claim her, keep her, and make her his forever.
But when his past came calling, he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. What would happen if she found out who he used to be?
This was a nice read. The sex was smoking hot. I enjoyed this book for the most part. However, my major complaint was its lack of tearjerking drama. To be honest, I expected to shed some tears and I was so ready for a heart-wrenching, emotional moment, but alas, it didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to.
Nevertheless, it was sweet, sexy, and delightful overall. If you’re looking for a good smut, then this short story is for you.

I love a good and witty office romance and Banger hit just the right marks for me! And with such amazing main characters, it’s no wonder that this new Aria Cole made the list of my favorite office romances!
Tobias Banger was absolutely PERFECT and so freakin’ swoon-worthy!!!
If Da Vinci had seen Ellis first, it was her face that would be hanging in the Louvre, not the Mona Lisa’s. Every angle was another burst of irresistible radiance. I was at a point where I would have left the entire world behind for her.
Yes, he has a secret and tormented past in his YOUTH, but he tried to make up for it every single day of his life after, and honestly who doesn’t have something that they deeply regret and are ashamed of? That just made him more real, and lovable for me! And let me be completely clear, that even for this picky girl here, he couldn’t be a better man for Ellis, and that even considering his long gone sexual background, because I’m one of those that absolutely hates a descriptive and constant reference to this past and this is absolutely NOT the case with Tobias. This promiscuous juvenile past is only mentioned ONCE, not rubbed in our faces constantly like it’s so common and cringe-worthy for me in romance these days! And even in these parameter, that we barely know of during the book, he more than makes up for it with one of the longest celibacies I’ve ever read, basically his whole adult life, and for me that is how he proves he true character! He was so loving and sweet to her, that she felt what she truly was to him, the new center of his world. His reason for living, for breathing!
“Moving a little fast, don’t you think?”
“Not when I’ve been waiting a lifetime to feel the way you make me feel.”
And boy, did the man have a delicious dirty mind and mouth on him, were Ellis was concerned! His magnetism and sex appeal were palpable!
Ellis is an amazing heroine too, so smart, strong and sassy, it’s no wonder she cracked all the walls Tobias had built surrounding him, and isolating himself from the rest of the world. He truly was a tormented and lost soul until the day Ellis shone her light in his dark existence. He truly wasn’t leaving, just a shadow of a man who everyone thought had everything. They couldn’t have been more wrong, and Ellis fast realized how good, caring and loving he was behind that cold and detached facade of his. And how incredibly HOT he was for her, LOL! And don’t be in any way mistaken, because this isn’t in any way, IMO, this annoying recurring trope these days, of the manwhore / virgin trope. I never once felt that, quite the opposite! Believe me when I say this, because I’m one of those who immediately cringes when she realizes that’s the case, and here, it couldn’t be farther from my mind and our eyes!
I truly adored this smutty office romance, and both characters were so incredibly appealing and realistic for me, as was the slow development/dance of their relationship. And when they finally got together, by fate’s intervention, WOW!!! It’s a wonder how that office didn’t burn to the ground with that sizzling sex scene! So imagine how amazing he his when I tell you they’re just as scorching as they are sweet and loving together! Sigh… <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
You’ve got a way with words, Mr. Banger,” I teased.
“You’ve got a way with my heart.
“I didn’t know what happiness was until I saw you. Didn’t know what love was until I touched you. Didn’t know how much I needed you until you breathed life into me. Let me be your husband, and I’ll spend every day of eternity showing you how happy you make me. Marry me, Ellis.”

3.75 OFFICE ROMANCE STARS
This might be one of my least favorite by Aria Cole. And other than the fact that the hero Tobias Banger was a complete man whore until he was 19, I can't figure out why!?
And it's really frustrating me!!!
I need to understand why this book was not more AMAZING to me!
Maybe it was because the hero did not resonating with me and/or the fact that he was able to disconnect from the heroine in a heart beat, that made this book feel not as good as it could!?
Oh well, this book was about a young woman named Ellie who had been working for the hero Tobias for about a month, while secretly lusting after him.
Tobias, her boss 34 years old was secretly lusting after her as well.
They both leave their feelings unexplored until they could not any longer.
This changes when they are both locked in a closet and forced to share their secrets.
FYI this was my favorite scene!
Unfortunately, the heroine was left conflicted by their closet hookup. She was thinking;
"I wanted Tobias Banger more than anything, but what would happen tomorrow morning when the rest of the office found out?"
And also doubting herself:
"I know you're new at this—”he said.
"New? I was a virgin when I fell into this closet!” I laughed. “I’ll spend every moment of every day making you happy, Ellis. And I can make you very happy.”
[image error]
Which was really very sweet but the minute he had an issue he shuts her out.
That, I did not like!
He does come to his senses and tells her everything but I was NOT that into him anyways so it was all just flat to me.
Now the story is not bad and I guess it's perfectly HOT but Honestly here after The Long Ball, this book was just not as captivating.
Also, WHERE IS MY MUSIC!?
Aria has been giving some great musical sound bites in her books of late and this one had NONE!
WHY?
So while I am glad I read it, this is not a keeper for me. I will continue to read her books and still enjoy most of her writing style. (However please note that this Book appeared somehow more vulgar to me and that might have effected my enjoyment of it also).
Safety: no cheating, heroine is a virgin (yay), hero has been celibate for 15 years (yay) No OW/OM drama. In fact it has that "desert island feel" with only one other character popping out.

**3.5 Stars**
Sweet and cute! Loved the multiple epilogues!!
One little thing that bugged me (this is just me), a couple of times they were written in positions, such as front to back, then the next sentence they were kissing face to face or vice versa. It annoyed me because I was trying to figure out how they were kissing, etc. in those positions only to realize they'd switched but there was no mention of someone turning around. Like I said, just me and my pickiness lol.

Banger by Aria Cole is a very fast paced office romance. I enjoyed the story but didn’t love it maybe it was the fact that it was super short and I really didn’t connect emotionally to the characters. Don’t get me wrong the characters are likable and there are a few sexy scenes so that was a plus. Overall, it was a light very predictable read with multiple epilogues.

** 5 I ❤ Tobias Banger stars **
I absolutely, 100% adored Tobias and Ellis!
Tobias was a sweet, charming, loving and damn near perfect. He was a successful businessman, building a Fortune 500 company from the ground up. The only thing missing was someone to share it with.
I was on top of the world up here. My reputation for cold, hard business preceded me, but my life felt empty. All this success around me, and yet something had always felt missing. The truth was, I had devoted my life to my business. I spent every waking hour running over market figures and brainstorming new concepts. I’d never even thought twice about getting to know a woman better— until now.
Then Ellis came into his life. He immediately knew she was special
On paper she was a dream candidate, but in person, she was so blindingly beautiful that I had trouble concentrating on a damn thing other than her. I had never in my life seen a woman that was so engaging. Had she just been beautiful I would have been fine, but her intelligence, natural kindness, and the depth of her compassion drew me to her.
I’d never been scared of anything. Conquering the top echelons of the Chicago business world hadn’t fazed me, but Ellis Ford had. She’d entered my life out of nowhere and now meant the entire world to me.
He was so sweet, and so utterly head over heals for Ellis, it was beautiful.
“I didn’t know what happiness was until I saw you. Didn’t know what love was until I touched you. Didn’t know how much I needed you until you breathed life into me. Let me be your husband, and I’ll spend every day of eternity showing you how happy you make me. Marry me, Ellis.”
Tobias came from a very lacking childhood and for a while, was traveling down a dark road. He made bad choices and fortunately for him, he hit rock bottom and clawed his way back out
“For a lot of years, my life was dark. A kid raised on the streets doesn’t have much hope, but I worked hard to prove myself, to become the success I am . But there’s one thing I never had.”“What’s that?” I whispered. “You. I needed you all along.”
It hadn’t taken me long to learn that those reckless decisions were a result of my childhood. I was lashing out. I was bitter and thought I had something to prove. But the only person I’d needed to prove a damn thing to was myself.
Ellis was such a great heroine. She worked hard to make a life for herself. After her internship, she was thrilled to get a permanent job working for Tobias. If only she wasn't so attracted to him. She was afraid to completely give in and trust him, but his sweet actions broke down the walls.
-amazing hero who I would NOT consider a manwhore now. He may have made some horrible choices in his youth, but 15 YEARS of celibacy proved he was no longer that person. After reading the part about him waking up with coeds in his bed at 19, I certainly did not feel that he was in any way that person at all. I felt it shed light on how far he came as a man and how determined he was to be successful. I also felt the fact he waited 15 years made Ellis so special. It in no way felt like manwhore/virgin heroine trope at all.
-fantastic heroine who was smart, sweet and funny
-zero cheating or ow/om drama whatsoever
-Ellis was hesitant but she couldn't resist Tobias so I would say no pushing away
-steamy sex scenes
-Aria Cole hit it out of the park with the epilogue. This is how it's done!

This was a pleasant read, a sexy story with likeable characters, not too much drama, sexy times, and predictable ending.
Ellis works for Tobias Banger as his personal assistant. The more time they spend together, the more they realize how much fun it can be to mix business with pleasure.
The sexual chemistry between them was on fire and didn't disappoint me in the least. The thing that I did find though is that I had a hard time feeling emotional connection between them.
If you're into the hot CEO hero seducing his sweet and innocent secretary, this one is for you. It was hot and steamy, but lacked real story. It needed more character build up. All in all, I think this is a book worth looking into, especially for erotica lovers.

"Banger" is the story of Ellis and Tobias.
A sweet and sexy office-to-home romance, between a smitten boss and a shy but equally enamored secretary. There is pursuit, courting, hubba hubba lovemaking, minimal drama and a wonderful HEA. I found the hero really likable and honest, and the three epilogues were OTT adorable!

It took me 2 days to read this short book. Just one thing: I skipped the sex scenes after the first one. It didn't do anything for me. I felt like I was reading some kind of instructions. So mechanical they were. And the way the H talk with and about the h: LAME. Not even the 3 epilogues did anything for me.

Voy a considerar este libro un relato corto erotico porque si a alguien se le ocurre la simple idea de llamarlo novela romántica le arreo.
Porque lo que es historia romántica no hay, el inicio es cuanto menos acoso sexual en La Oficina si no fuese porque ella también le tira del rollo... todo muy siniestro y raro. Prefiero dejarlo en mi idea inicial, relato erotico...

Más cliché de lo que podría soportar. Nada digno de mención. Historia corta y con algunos tintes eróticos...
May 22, 2017
Es lo primero que leo de la autora y tengo que decir: Mi dior... de a la A a la Z plagado de clichés, de todos los tipos.
La autora no escribió nada que no haya leído. No sentí una pulgada de originalidad. Y por esas cosas del destino ayer había terminado de leer Stuck up Suit y sentí que leía muchísimas escenas de ese libro.
Sigo sin entender esa bendita necesidad de hacerlos cabalgar a pelo. Ah, tampoco que la puritana, inteligente y espléndida purreta caiga redonda a los pies del macho alfa ubicado en su palmera con todos sus logros (y visitas a las casitas femeninas). Basta de ese argumento, mamu.¿Por qué sigo leyendo estos libros? ¿Por qué malgasto mi tiempo en tanta paparruchada junta? Lo positivo (?) de este es que se lee en un suspiro

Quick semi steamy and boss/secretary romance!!!
Oh la laaa a office romance that doesn't have the boss a manwhore!! Tobias has had a rough past but he keeps that guarded and has made it big always working and has no time for dating or anyone until he hires Ellis his new Secretary.
Both wanting eachother but Ellis is the one who keeps her distance because her job is more on the line but that doesn't stop Tobias from flirting and asking her out. Only time he did push away was dor a brief moment when someone was digging into his past.

Tobias Banger knew when he hired Ellis Ford he made a mistake. He has never crossed the line with an employee/boss relationship but everything about Ellis has him ready to cross the line. Ellis has been harboring a crush on her boss since she met him, but she is not the type of girl to jump into bed with someone. When Tobias makes his move will Ellis be willing to take a chance that it might lead to something more.
If you liked boss/employee books this is one to pick up. I liked Tobias and he has a bit of a back story that added another element to the story. Liked Ellis, she is a spitfire. Another great read from Aria Cole.

I love Tobias and Ellis’s story!!! Tobias is a tough business man that when he wants something, he gets it! Ellis is the intern that worked her way up and is now the PA for the tough Tobias. I’m sure you can imagine how that will go!!! There might have been a birthday dinner, late night working and an all nighter in the file closet involved. Tobias and Ellis’s chemistry is electric and instant. Loved it.
-safe read
-h is a virgin
-H is celibate for around 15 years
-no ow/om drama
-multiple epilogues (10 days, 5 years, 18 years)

Well written and steamy boss/secretary romance! Hero has a dark past but he is a reformed man now. Heroine is kind and loving. I loved how she accepted his past and loved him despite his faults. Adorable epilogue with their twins!
Safety: heroine is a virgin, hero is celibate for around 15 years, no other man or other woman drama.

Good
This is my second time reading this book but I apparently didn’t leave a review last time. This was just as enjoyable as the first time I read it. Tobias is a man on a mission to claim his woman. He has wanted her since he hired her as his secretary and he is ready to make his claim. I loved his OTT alphaness, his possessiveness and his dirty talk. Tobias is one delicious package and Ellis is his perfect match. I was a little bummed that they didn’t adopt children. It was mentioned that Tobias wanted to adopt kids and in the next epilogue they didn’t. It would have fit nicely into the theme of helping underprivileged kids.

Completely safe. No ow/om drama. H has been celibate for 15 years, before that he was a bit of a manwhore. h is a virgin. No abuse.

Tobias Banger was super sweet and head over heels in love with Ellis from the moment he sees her. I really enjoyed their love story. It was syrupy sweet and over the top, my favorite!

5 Stars!
Aria Cole became a fast favorite of mine when she released her first book. Since then, I have been hooked. Her books always promise sweet, quick, dirty, and over the top in the most delicious ways
Banger is a sweet office romance between Tobias Banger and Ellis. Their journey was so sweet, fun, steamy, and entertaining with loads of sexual tension. From the start, they had me flipping the pages fast and before I knew it I had devoted their story.
If you like short, easy, and safe reads with the most perfect storyline, then this is for you.
I highly recommend this book.

Love me some Tobias, totally added him to my BBC. I mean he had lines like "You my love, are my today and all of my tomorrows."....adore him. I loved the kind of person he was and he is currently. He had rough teenage years for reasons he could not control. He was wild, fast and got into quite a bit of trouble. But he turned himself around, focused on work and made something of himself.
He adores Ellis, as he should, and knows that he wants her. She is his right hand at work. She is smart and sweet....so perfect for my Tobias.
I loved when these 2 got locked in one of the closets at work overnight. They played poker and the winner would get to ask a question, I thought that was funny....innocently so. Obviously it didn't stay innocent but I loved their whole night together.
These two were sweet with a side of naughty....loved it.

Banger by Aria Cole is a very hot office romance novel centered on sexy CEO of Banger Industries, Tobias Banger, and his curvaceously sweet and sassy secretary Ellis Ford.
Both are burning with desire for the other and have been keeping their distance because of work, but getting trapped in the supply closet one night brings everything to a head. Will these two be able to give a relationship a try or are they nothing more than just one night?
This was an enjoyable read. I loved how dominant and bold Tobias was with his evocative words. He pursued Ellis, and wasn't going to let her slip from his grasp. I also liked the cute epilogues, these are always fun to read.
Overall, Banger by Aria Cole was an entertaining and sexy story that I very much recommend.

3.5 to 4 stars!
Time for some honesty. I have avoided this author because of her writing. I was interested in this book until I read who wrote it and then I hesitated... however, reviews kept popping up on my feed talking about how much better her writing is compared to when she first started. Multiple reviews said this so I figured I would take a chance.
Her writing is better. I enjoyed the story and the shorty insta love. I MAY check out her upcoming books, but I will probably wait for other reviews to come out before I take the chance. She hasn't completely won me over.

Another quick, filthy read from Aria Cole.
If Insta-love is your thing then I highly recommend this one. Plenty of sweet lines mixed with some filthy sex scenes. what more could you want??
I have to say that I'm BAFFLED by the reviews for this one slating it for having a manwhore hero. Tobias is a 34yr old guy that hasn't had sex in 15 years!! the ONLY reference to his former sex life is a one line quip about a threesome. THAT'S IT!

3.5*
Sweet, sexy office romance. If I had a boss like Tobias I'd be happily stuck in storage closets, all day, every day.
Aria Cole seems to have found her niche with the over-the-top, sugary sweet, protective alphas and Tobias fits right in. He latches on to Ellis and won't let go until he has her, in every way possible.
If you're a fan of her other work this one won't disappoint.

Esta pequeña historia de "amor" de solo 100 y pico de paginas, definitivamente no es para mi.
Lei solo 20 paginas y rode los ojos mas de 40 veces por lo absurdo que era todo. No solo la trama es muy insulsa y apresurada, sino que también esta muy muy mal narrado. Hay diálogos que no vienen al caso, respuestas sin sentidos y pensamientos mal expresados. No hizo falta que lea mas de 3 caps para notar esto, porque ¡Vamos! No puede EL JEFE en solo 15 paginas proclamarle sus deseos y detallarle lo que pretende hacerle sexualmente a la prota, eso es acoso señoras y señores.
Amo los romances de oficina, por eso lo cogi, pero este esta tan mal hecho que me parece fuera de lugar el romance que se formara y yo no soy del tipo que ve casi nunca mal un romance, mientras este bien llevado claro.
Y ni me extendere a hablar sobre que el POV del prota masculino esta tan mal escrito que notas que es una mujer la que lo escribe. En otras palabras, no sentia que estaba dentro de la cebeza de un hombre, salvo claro en los momentos en los que habla de su polla (los cuales fueron demasiados para tan pocas paginas).
No lo recomiendo para nada. No hay nada rescatable hasta donde yo lo lei al menos. No lo calificare ya que no lo acabe.
