Her Tyrant: A Contemporary Curvy Girl Romance
I hired him to make me look good. I never expected to fall for him.
But I did.
Hard.
I'm Olivia Titus, better known as the nation's top young business woman of the year.
My bank account and my measurements are a little more well padded than average.
I have curves and I love them.
When I hire a personal trainer, it's not because I want to lose them. I want to make sure they look as good as I feel in them when they're featured on the front page of the nation's most prominent business magazine.
That's where Guillermo Nunez comes in.
He's tough. He's fit. He's a little bit of a jerk.
But Guillermo is exactly what I need to make sure that in a month's time, I look every bit the woman who is at the top of her game. I'm bargaining on him being exactly what I need in the gym.
What I don't bargain on, however, is falling for him.
And when my handsome, arrogant trainer begins to turn up the heat, I begin to find out his interest in my curves aren't only professional.
And the interest might just be mutual.
But I did.

Olivia is trying to get in shape for a photo shoot and Guillermo/Gil is the owner of the fitness boot camp she is training at.
The two of them strike sparks off of each other in the beginning and it has more to do with Gil pushing Olivia out of her comfort zone physically. While Olivia is comfortable with her curves she wants to look better. Gil on the other hand is a carved bronze god that she can’t help having fantasies about. A flash flood lends a helping hand to push their trainer and trainee relationship to a new steamy level.
Once these two finally give in to their passions they were pretty explosive. Olivia is more free spirited whereas Gil is a bit more reserved and their differences make for some interesting one upmanship of each other.
The author does a good job of having you connect with both characters. They both have similar back-stories in some ways. There are a few areas that aren’t as well rounded as they could be. Fleshing out of some of the areas would move the story up a star for me.
I did enjoy the story and read it in one sitting. Loved the push and pull between Olivia and Gil. Also loved how Gil loved Olivia for herself and while he didn’t mind helping her achieve her goals to look physical better his attraction was to her and not how she looked.

Olivia needs to look her best for an upcoming photoshoot that will accompany her interview in Business Pages Magazine, so she signs herself up to a 5 week intensive bootcamp with an absolute tyrant of a trainer - Guillermo Nunez. Guillermo wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't baby his students because he didn't baby them at all, in fact, he was downright demonic with them, especially with Olivia. And when she's having a bad day courtesy of bad news about her grandmother's health, she can't take it any more and walks out. Take that, Mr. Tyrant of a fitness trainer!
Of course, all their spitting at each other comes from somewhere and it just happens to be an attraction that explodes the night she's stuck at his apartment because of the storm raging outside. Can they take that passion and turn it into an honest to goodness relationship? A relationship like the one Gil lies to his mother about? The mother who corners Olivia at the hospital where she's visiting her grandmother?
I found myself really liking Olivia, but I didn't quite feel the same toward Gil. He was a little one note for me. Yes, he was sexy and all with his delicious body, because of course no fitness instructor would be caught dead without a rock hard body, but his personality wasn't very likable like Olivia's spunky attitude. I also didn't feel their connection to be strong outside of their physical chemistry. Still, Olivia was awesome and so were Gil's mom and Olivia's Ma (grandma) so I can see myself to 3.5 stars rounded up.

~ Worth all the hard work ~
When Olivia needs to get herself in shape for a very important photoshoot, she enrolls in a boot camp fitness class run by Guillermo, a trainer who is rumored to be a tyrant and a slavedriver of an instructor, but he gets results. They are very opposite in character but there are certainly a lot of sparks and very real chemistry flying between them as they keep circling each other. Both have family members in their lives who are very important to them, wanting to do their best for them with regards to their care, including bending the truth a little to be more convincing in their goals. But by then, Olivia and Guillermo are involved, but one of them still needs a little nudge as to how real the relationship is becoming.
This was a great first read: steamy bits between them, sweet bits with the family ties, and I liked their byplay, even though I can understand how Olivia could be frustrated with his not-forthcoming character at times. Guillermo had been attracted to Olivia from the very beginning of the classes, but with her newfound confidence, he was even more gone for her.

i read this book as part of an arc program. Olivia hired Gil to help her get in shape for a photo shoot through his boot camp.Gil accepts no excuses for slacking in the class and expects everyone to give it their all. When Olivia feels like giving up after some personal problems exhaust her, Gil gets mad and tells her to stay in the class. Olivia can't and she leaves. Afterwards Gil doesn't want to talk to her and relies on his assistant to train her. Olivia is upset and when her car breaks down, Gil comes to her rescue and he ends up taking her back to his apartment because of a bad storm. Olivia and Gil are forced to talk and they act on their mutual attraction. When Gil's mother wants to give up fighting her illness, Gil lies and tells her he met someone and tells her about Olivia. Olivia agrees to pose as Gil's girlfriend and when she meets his mother, she knows she can't lie. This was a quick and steamy read. I enjoyed this story and liked Gil. I think he wanted his mother to be happy and i think he really cared about Olivia. Good one.

Loved the sexy, hot, amazing first half-then lost interest
The first half has this great teasing build up between Gil and Olivia. When they first hook up (after the storm), it’s so damn hot that it doesn't matter they don't go all the way. Third base was totally satisfying, and I like how Olivia is just as passionate as Gil.
It's fun, sexy, and unrestrained here. This is where the writing sizzles, and the characters come alive. You can feel Gil’s sexy scowl.
Then I lost interest. When they start having to deal with one another as real people, not just tempting eye candy, it falls flat. Their characters aren’t as appealing. Gil isn’t as commanding, and once you take away that mystery and dominance, what’s underneath isn’t enough. He's now more unsure with Olivia, and she's more dominant.
I couldn’t buy into the charade that forces them into spending time together, either. I wish more of the book was more like the first half, especially that early pull of attraction. (Free book via Booksprout--voluntary review.)

Guillermo is Olivia’s sexy boot camp trainer. After 5 weeks of intense training, she can only think of him as a Tyrant. He’s a hottie of an instructor and pushes her more than the rest of class.
Her goal to get in shape for a magazine photo shoot is paying off with results, but when she finds out her beloved grandmother had a stroke, her day starts to unravel at class.
This starts a chain of events that start off with Olivia saying “No” at Bootcamp. Not knowing the emotional turmoil she’s going through, Gil pushes her even harder ending up with Olivia walking out.
They have a push/pull kind of attraction that grows quickly after being stranded for a night during a storm.
A sweet and Sexy contemporary romance between a he-man alpha and a snarky curvy girl. The author did a good job creating a feeling of attraction and young Love between the couple.
A cute love story with lots of steam!

Her Tyrant was a quick read about a woman that is working hard to ready her body for an upcoming photo shoot for a business magazine. She and her personal trainer seem to have chemistry right away but they are professional and don’t act on it.
Olivia has an ailing grandmother and Gil has a sick mother. These two situations cause a fair bit of personal angst for our characters as can be understood, but with this angst comes misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
I liked how real the characters felt
I disliked the extra push and pull with each other when they could have been more ”adult” and just talked. Eh, that’s life, right? Communication is always the key.
Anyway, this is a romance so, of course, everything works out in the end.
Like I said, quick read for a quiet afternoon

The last thing he needs is a stubborn, moody female. Grab this book today and find out what happens when these two are thrust together during a flash flood warning that had her having to spend the night with her infuriating boot camp instructor.

Guillermo is an incredibly ruthless fitness trainer. Olivia is a young woman looking to get tone and fit for a business photo shoot she has coming up. She signs up for Gil's boot camp fitness class and finds him to be a "Tyrant", barking orders and insults to motivate the people in class. She is strong willed and they end up clashing time after time. One night she finds herself in need of help and Gil is offered as the person to help her. This starts them on an interesting path together. Is their attraction enough to get them past being stubborn individuals? Can they each face the hurdles in their life with help from each other? Can love find its way into their stormy relationship? One click to find out.

What would you do if someone pushed your buttons (for your own good)? Well, Olivia pushes back. She asked for the tough bootcamp experience from top trainer Guillermo Nunez to whip her in shape for an upcoming photoshoot but didn't expect this too hot trainer to almost single her out with his over the top workouts. She hates that he's pushing her too hard and is way too harsh yet is embarrassed that she's secretly attracted to him. When a dead battery and a flood land her at his place for safety it becomes clear that all the extra attention at the gym was also fuelled by his attraction to her. A short read but heats up in all the right places.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Olivia and Guillermo. Olivia is trying to get into shape for a photoshoot is attending boot camp with Gil. He manages to push hey to get limits and she hates him for her sore she is, but she finds him attractive. Stressed about her grandmother having a stroke, Olivia seesa softer side of Gil, but then he basically ignores her until the night her car breaks down. Good had his own stress to, his mom is sick and needs special treatment but she is stubborn. Watch as the two tangle both in the gym and in-between the sheets. Great quick read with lots of heat.

Olivia Titus is very successful in the business world. She does so well that the country's most read business magazine invited her for an interview wanted to get in shape for her photo shoot. That's why she's joined Guillermo Nunez's fitness boot camp training. Five weeks, that's all she has to get through.
Guillermo Nunez is highly sought after for his fitness boot camp training. Demanding, overachieving, hell bound, sexy, ripped .. He has the reputation of a tyrant.
Once again Jetta Frame has given characters with such personalities they leave you feeling good about the story and yourself. A wonderfully quick, easy read with a great HEA at the end.

I enjoyed this story. It was well written and flowed smoothly and logically. Olivia enrols in Gil’s boot camp fitness program. They are both great characters. The sparks fly between them from the very beginning of the book. This story made me laugh and at times I felt sad, frustrated and a bit angry too. I’d recommend this book as a quick, easy and enjoyable read.

A quick fun, sexy read with a cute couple who meet due to her wanting to get into shape and him - her trainer or as the book is called, her tyrant. The story moves fast and is incredibly funny. I loved it. Too bad it was so short because the author has created an amazing couple in a few short pages that would be capable of carrying off an entire book. I hope to read more about them in the future.
August 7, 2018
This is a well written storyline. The story is about Olivia wanting to get in shape for a photo shoot and contacting Gil to be her trainer. The characters are likable for the most part. Gil didn't always come across as relatable. The sparks fly but they are always arguing. The plot flows well with the story and is filled with drama, romance and quirky comebacks.

A quick steamy read abot Olivia confident of her curves still signs up for a training class that is more like a boot camp. Upon meeting the instructor he is hardcore but there is a strong connection between the two. They get stranded when he helps her after her car breaks down and they get stuck in a storm. A enjoyable read that takes you thru a rollercoaster of events and hurdles to a HEA.

She needs a trainer to look her best for the photo shoot. She is shocked when he arrives and things may get very steamy between them as he like her curves in an normal way rather than as a trainer. It is going to get hot and steamy. Just how hot? Read to find out
