Love by Numbers #2
3 Bosses' Assistant
I have to make sure not to mess up their schedule, and meet their “other potential needs” as well.
Sascha
I’ve worked hard to land a job in my dream company.
But landing my dream job was only the beginning.
When Erin asked me about entering a lifestyle with two men, I thought it was a joke. How could one be with more than one man?
Then I meet trouble – times three. My new bosses.
Three gorgeous, possessive, over-the-top alphas that can undress me with one single glance.
Ian. The HR manager. Tall. Solidly built. Seductive.
Ryland. The COO. Dominant, demanding and intense. A total monster.
Carson. The CEO. Mysterious, powerful, and drop-dead gorgeous.
Before I get the junior editor position that I truly want, I’d need to report to all of them.
My jaw almost dropped when they told me that they all wanted to be with me. So I accept their offer to go on a date with each of them before I pick only one.
But I can’t make up my mind.
The more connections I have with each man, the more addicted I get.
I want not just one, but three of them.
Now they all want me in their office for a very private meeting, and say that everything that’s going to happen would have to remain strictly confidential.
And I have a feeling that this is about to get dark, filthy, and a whole lot messier.

It was nice steamy story. Three bosses, three hot men, so different yet working so well together. One ambitious, strong, sassy, snarky, smart and sexy woman. If they learn to share she will be theirs strength and shield. It was very interesting to come on a journey of this relationship, watching things coming to surface, seeing them standing for one another. It was beautiful as it was steamy.

“Three dates, one with each of us, and after they’re over, you can pick who you’d like to continue with, or you can choose none of us, and we’ll respect your decision.”
As a buddy read, we enjoyed 2 Billionaires in Vegas, but sadly this book just didn't quite hit the mark! It felt really surface-level when it came to the spice, and while I respect that this group dynamic is tricky with a short amount of pages, I had a hard time differentiating between the men at all. The "climactic drama" was cliche and I skimmed most of it - I do NOT have time for . I just couldn't evoke any emotion for it all. Sorry not sorry!
I do still look forward to continuing the series with Four Ranchers' Bride: A Reverse Harem Romance - I think the fun of the increasing number of men in the group dynamic will be more fun in the higher numbers in this writing style!

What do you get when you cross three handsome men with a bombshell? That's right. FIREWORKS!!!!! Nicole has delivered another fun, steamy, tantalizing read that just makes all the parts tingly. Sascha never expected this turn of events but Ian, Carson, and Ryland certainly aren't complaining. There is some baby drama that keeps things interesting (not that the story needs that but you'll see). I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book and can't wait for the next!

It Fell Short
This had the makings of a good story, but it fell victim to something a lot of books do and that is rushing the plot and magically cleaning up all the problems standing in the way of the characters achieving their goals in the blink of an eye. That and an absolutely ludicrous obstacle for one of the characters to overcome which became the main focal point right before the climax. I also felt the character arcs weren't completed; things seemed to fall to the wayside a bit, and while the characters weren't one-dimensional, they certainly weren't three dimensional. I think the story was just too short to fully flesh out the characters, successfully bring their character arcs to completion, and have a properly paced plot that didn't rush at the end.
There were also a number of grammatical errors that added to the problems of this book. There were sentences missing words and sentences using the wrong words. For instance, one sentence read, "...any company would kill you have you.' Some sentences had incorrect syntax making them fall flat and sound awkward, and other times, the wrong words were used. For example, 'reign' would it should have been 'rein'. Then I noticed that both Alia and Sasha's hair color changed. Both were described as redheads, Sasha being of the strawberry variety, but then later in the book, Alia was suddenly a brunette and Sasha was a blond. And no, they hadn't gone and dyed their hair. It was just lack of attention to detail.
⚠️ WARNING: SPOILER ALERT ⚠️
Perhaps my biggest issue with this book was the entirely implausible situation with Alia claiming Carson was the father of her baby. One would have to entirely suspend disbelief or just be plain stupid to not find the facts of this situation completely ludicrous and unrealistic! For one, a woman can't just go to a lab with a vial of blood and claim it belongs to a certain man--chaos would reign! Thank God, that's not how things work! The man in question has to show up and have his blood drawn and show ID to prove his identity. Two, Alia said she got the blood for the paternity test from a STD test Carson had done quite some time ago, before their relationships completely fell apart. Alia was four months pregnant, so at minimum, it'd have been that long ago, but based on the things she and Carson said, it was done way before that when Carson found out she was cheating, so it could've been a year or more. The point is, once labs complete testing on a sample, they destroy it because there's just no room to keep every sample that comes through a lab. It'd have to be the size of Madison Square Garden to do so! Given that fact, how'd Alia get the blood? Not only that, but even if the lab had kept the blood, they certainly wouldn't hand it over to her! Carson might not have even been able to get his own blood sample back, but someone to whom the blood does not belong definitely wouldn't be able to get their hands on it!
Carson went to Harvard, so clearly, he's intelligent. Yet we're meant to believe he found nothing wrong with Alia having been able to do a paternity test with a sample that shouldn't have been around to begin with and that she shouldn't have had access to even if it did? Come on! Then, to add insult to injury, the readers are supposed to believe that literally anyone on Earth, yet alone a man as smart and savvy as Carson would just take at face value anything a proven lying cheater has to say? Not only that, but be willing to leave a loving relationship and their job and move to another state to marry a woman they can't stand based on some test that's sus as hell? Even if Carson did wholeheartedly believe the test was valid and he was the father, millions of people raise children with someone they're not in a relationship with. There was no need to marry her. And to say it was for the child's benefit is asinine. What kid would benefit from growing up in a household where his parents were in a loveless marriage and their father was miserable as hell every second of his life? That's very unhealthy! Carson's reasoning was that Alia wouldn't let him see the child unless they were married. What world is he living in? There's this thing called the law, and if he has a paternity test proving he's the child's father and there's no reason such as a drug problem or being a convicted pedophile or something, a judge would order visitation rights! Quite probably even joint custody.
Bottom line: if you're going to use this situation for the plot in your book, it has to be believeable and supported by common sense. Literally EVERYONE would have demanded a second paternity test in this situation! Yet this Harvard educated CEO was ready to throw his whole life away on a suspicious test handed to him by a lying cheater! Just, no. No.

The book needed heavy editing and that took me out of the story when words were repeated a number of times in a paragraph or just grammatically was a struggle to process the message.
Not sure I'll read any more in this series, but it gives me confidence to try writing my own!

Ian, Ryland, Carson, And Sascha Forge A Complicated Workplace Romance That Takes Them All By Surprise In This Easy Read.
Sascha Day, roughly twenty-six, is happy for her best friend Erin and her new relationship with not one – but two wonderful men. She only wishes she had a good man in her life. But life is good. She has finally landed an interview with prestigious Calliope Publishing in Las Vegas for a Junior Editor position, her dream job. The job is super competitive, but she knows she has a great chance at landing it.
Ian Holder is the half Russian HR Manager for Calliope Publishing and urgently in need of hiring a new Executive Assistant. The CEO has a penchant for firing people, and the last assistant fell prey without a replacement lined up. They are in over their heads. So when he sees Sascha’s stellar resume, he hopes to convince her to take the position. When he sees her in person, however, he gets some other ideas as well. He promises Sascha the opportunity to get her foot in the door now and wait for the next opening for an editor’s job, convincing her to fill the vacancy. She will be reporting to himself, the COO, and the CEO.
Ryland Drummond, thirty-four, is the British short-tempered COO of Calliope Publishing and the face of the company. Harvard-educated, Ryland works hard and demands perfection. Although his talent is with numbers, he loves reading. When Ian tells him about the hot new hire, he assumes she won’t be up to the job. She soon proves him very wrong, but he finds himself overcome with jealousy when he sees her socializing with the other employees.
Carson Neil Werner, thirty-two, began Calliope Publishing eight years ago and runs it today as the CEO. The Harvard grad is a mystery even to his own employees, many of whom think he is a ghost. He isn’t on social media. He is anal in nature and big on rules – but he is a law unto himself. He works according to his own schedule, mostly on the back end of the business.
He, Ryland, and Ian – his closest friends – make a great team and together have made Calliope into high-profile publishing company. His cool and dignified manner contrasts with Ryland’s heated ways, and Ian as the jokester of the bunch lightens the atmosphere. When he finally meets Erin, Carson suddenly finds himself spending more time in the office than ever. He loves the snarky exchanges they have and is impressed by her quick intelligence.
Following a successful client meeting, Carson, Ryland, Ian, and Sascha find themselves drunk in a restaurant, and Carson’s jealously over the attention Sascha gives to a fellow employee finally gets the best of him. His outburst sets the four on a course they hadn’t expected. Sascha soon finds herself on a date with each of the three very different men. Ian, whose Russian sweet nothings entice her. Whose rough and tough domineering ways excite her. And whose in the moment joy for life excites her. Ryland, whose intellectual, sophisticated personality suits her. Whose British spy persona entices her. And whose soft yet intense seductive ways entice her. And finally Carson, whose superhero look captures her. Whose willingness to open up to her and become vulnerable melts her heart. And whose pain becomes her own. The four explore their complicated situation, but just as they begin to find their way, a new complication arises. Eventually they find a happy ending.
Ian, Ryland, Carson, and Sascha forge a complicated workplace romance that takes them all by surprise in this easy read. Their story is decently written, though there are some editing errors. The plot is complex simply due to the number of characters involved. The complication at the end is a bit simplistic and doesn’t quite feel authentic. The characters are unique and feel real. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Sascha, Ian, Ryland, and Carson. I rate this book 3.5 stars.

Fast paced, reverse harem (with HEA)
For adults only (18+ years old). Contains subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language and detailed intimate scenes (MF, MFM, MFMM, light BDSM theme).
While this is the second book in a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. There are two scenes that could be considered cheating, depending on how the reader interprets the relationship status, as there wasn’t any discussion of monogamy or rules.
It revolves around Sasha, who applies for her dream job of Junior Editor with a local Las Vegas publishing company. She is interviewed by the HR Manager in a very different style than she expected, but received an offer to be the executive assistant to him, the COO, and CEO.
Sasha accepts and is slowly introduced to her new bosses over the first three days of her employment. She has won them all over with her professional attitude, but it doesn’t stop the attraction she feels.
Then one night after a business meeting that went great, she is kissed by one of them (don’t want to spoil the surprise as to whom it could be) and now she is worried that she is going to have to leave the job she has come to love if it is too awkward. To her utter amazement, nothing is mentioned about what happened when she sees her bosses throughout the next day; no rumors are flying around, maybe the alcohol helped them to forget, then she receives an offer that is too good to be true, or is it?
The storyline is okay, and the author does a good job of drawing the reader into the world created, especially considering the shorter length. There are still a few grammatical errors, but it is better than most, as I had no issues interpreting the author’s intent.

A delightful, sexy bit of fun with a witty cast of smart ambitious professionals in a steamy polyamorous relationship
Sometimes one just isn't enough, and a girl just needs some good old-fashioned reverse harem group loving, am I right? Nicole Casey delivers a fresh take on a mature polyamorous relationship, a trope that in my personal opinion isn't nearly as represented in erotica literature as it should. The three suitors are driven, corporate executives of a publishing house that are uniquely attractive and practically perfect and vying for the affection of the main character who is also their executive assistant. The main character is refreshingly smart, driven and snarky and not the lease bit naïve. She isn't a damsel in distress or a virgin to be guided by these three men - she's a mature and an eager participant. The banter between these characters is witty and laugh out-loud funny at times in a believable way. And although there is definitely a suspension of disbelief required to play along with the plot, there's no denying that it was easy to digest and thoroughly enjoyable. The only reason this book isn't 5 stars for me is because I felt that during some parts of the book there could have been some further fleshing out of character development and individual backstory. Some of the explicit scenes felt a tad rushed and the pacing of the climax (pun intended) towards the end was introduced and resolved relatively quickly. However, for what the author does in the number of pages given, I think it's a deliciously fun little romp. Excited to read more from Nicole Casey!

Sascha is interviewing for an editor position but when she arrives she meets with Ian about being their personal assistant instead. She's upset about not getting the job she wanted but this one will get her in the door so she accepts. Ryland is the first of her employers' she works for and he really let's her have it. He is basically testing that she can handle the work they need her to do. Sascha works so efficiently she even surprises Ryland. She gets on well with both Ryland and Ian but she wonders about Carson. She goes to a bar after work one day before heading home and has a drink when a sexy man sits besides her and starts asking about her day. She talks about thinking her third boss is a ghost because she's never seen him and then she heads home after venting to the stranger. However nothing could prepare her for finding at the next day that the sexy stranger is none other than Carson her third boss. When she helps them gain a client they wanted they all go out to celebrate and Ian kisses her in front of the others. Nervous she takes off but the next day the guys ask her how she would feel about dating all three of them before deciding which one she wants to date permanently. What will they do when she wants to keep them all as her men? Can they make that type of lifestyle work for them?
This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sasha is a would-be-editor who turns up to interview for her dream job only to discover that her dream job isn't available. But a job as the executive assistant to the top three company managers is. Basically she is promised that she can get an editor job once one becomes available. It's a placeholder position. Take the job or she'll miss out in the future.
The three head bosses' Carson (CEO), Ryland (COO) & Ian (HR manager)are all distinct in personalities which is good because it makes it easier to tell them apart. I felt like Carson, as the CEO would have had to have been a stronger character to be in the position he was. Although I appreciate his emotional vulnerability and their
On a positive note, I appreciated that it is the woman this time who suggests the poly-relationship. In most stories its the guys who suggest it and or have "shared" a woman in the past. So this is a welcome change.
Sadly, I really struggled with the first book of the series. So many spelling and English errors I was disappointed. I was even sadder to see that this book followed a similar pattern in terms of editing. There was errors on the first few pages.
I also feel disappointed that Sasha could have taken an opportunity to do a job she loved but sacrificed it to keep the status quo. It frustrates me that even in a fantasy story women don't advance their own careers because of the men in their lives. I've seen too much of this in real life. The character should be able to have her cake and eat it too.

This one did not jive with me at all. The book was so inconsistent and the plot had so many holes, it my as well have been Swiss cheese.
The first thing that really got me was Ian mentioning Sascha's red underwear when she interviewed. Why were the floors so shiny? And was she standing with her feet more than shoulder length apart? That's quite an angle to notice something like that, and then not even tell her that she's having a wardrobe malfunction....do they have the floors like that to perv on all the women who come in the building?
Ian's Russian was lackluster. It could've added a really sexy element to his character but it didn't make sense for him. Not having translations readily available was also a huge hassle because I had to keep getting out of the book to translate it and hope that the translator was correct. The character writing itself was extremely inconsistent. Sascha was really judgy about poly relationships in the beginning then seemed to do a 180 once she was in that situation. Ryland was described as having a short temper, but then later in the book that description changed to Carson. I won't even mention Carson's big dilemma...
The characters had absolutely no chemistry. They all felt dead to me. I couldn't relate to them, couldn't find things that I liked...they felt like placeholders. There was nothing to really make them come alive. All in all, I found this book incredibly hard to read because I just couldn't get interested in it.

Another wonderful story from Nicole, what i really like about these books is that they have a great storyline, something you can sink your teeth in its good.
Each of the characters are wonderful, though i really liked Ian as he has that Russian accent and i can just imagine how that would be.... yum lol. I love that fact that Ryland is a hard man and its good to have one of those and as for Carson a great man, but with troubles (PTSD). And as for Sascha herself, i liked the fact that she really was a hard working girl and smart and intelligent, not getting pushed around.
Sascha has gone for an interview with Calliope Publishing company, hopefully as an editor, but when she gets there she meets Ian, an handsome man. He tells her that there are no positions, but wants her to become the Executive Assistant. Reluctantly agreeing she is shown around, come the next morning she meets Ryland a hard taskmaster , but she shows him that she is no slacker. Then she meets Carson at a bar, not knowing it is him she lets him know what people of the office think of him.....the next day..... she is embarrased when he shows up....lol.... anyways after meeting with all three of the men they preposition her. Go on a date with all of them then choose, but the problem with that is that she cant choose between them, she wants them all.

Lots of fun and steamy moments in this entertaining story. You won’t be disappointed. Another great book by Nicole Casey.
Sascha has finally been given an interview for her dream job as an editor at a publishing company that she has dreamed about for a long time. Only, once she arrives at the interview, the editors position is not available. But she is interviewed for an executive assistant position working for the CEO - Carson, COO - Ryland and the Ian the HR manager.
Things go smoothly for a few weeks, lots of flirting and friendly banter until one day after a meeting, all four of them are in a bar and Carson and Sascha are having a friendly argument and Ian reaches over and starts kissing Sascha. She is sure she will lose her job the next day, but is surprised when they all tell her that they all like her and want her to date them all and then choose who she wants. She can’t choose and suggests a polyamory relationship. They are all shocked but think on kit and decide to give it a try.
Things are going well until a blast from the past shows up and nearly destroyed the relationship, but things are resolved and they eventually have their happily ever after.

This story is about Ian, Ryland, Carson and Sascha. Sascha is about to start her life when she goes in for an interview as a junior editor, but finds out that the position is no longer available, but instead there is one for an executive assistant. She decides to take it as it is a step in the door for her to move up but doesn’t realize that she ends up in a situation with three alpha males. Ian is the HR manager who ends up hiring her. Ryland is the stickler for perfection COO and will fire in a heartbeat with any mistake made; however, upon meeting her, he doesn’t do so. Carson is the CEO, who is more laid back but well equipped…. He is intrigued by her immediate as he meets her in a bar after arriving home from a business trip but doesn’t tell her his real name until the next day. The story gets interesting after their first business dinner where they are trying to get a new client and succeed thanks to Sascha. The three ends up dating her so that she can pick one of them, but ends up not choosing just one… This is a steamy story so be ready with that ice drink when reading this one.

3 bosses assistant is book two in the love by numbers series. This story is short, fast paced and steamy. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Sascha Day is excited to have an interview at her dream company. When she arrives and is told that job isn’t available, she soon becomes an executive assistant to the three bosses. Ian, Ryland and Carson want Sascha, when she cannot pick one of them, will they agree to a poly relationship?
The chemistry between Carson, Ian, Ryland and Sascha is clear to see and I loved them all together. Each man brought something different to the relationship.
I loved that Sascha helped uncover the lies that nearly lost them Carson. I liked that Carson’s ex didn’t get away with what she was doing.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

This is book two in the Love by Numbers series. The anti has been upped to three alpha males to one lucky female. Meet Sascha, Ian, Ryland and Carson. Sascha is the personal assistant to all men as they are her bosses. However, as they work together the dynamics of their professional relationship begin to change. It becomes more personal, at one point she goes on a date with each of them and finds herself struggling to choose which man she wants. Of course, like all relationships it cannot be a seamless, smooth transition from professional to personal especially when you factor in not one but three men. Can Sascha take the chance with all three, her friend Erin (from book one) found happiness? I really liked how the women are linked together but each can be read on their own. This book was an enjoyable, steamy read that really felt like a natural, realistic transition. Enjoy!

Whilst I enjoyed the first in the Love By Numbers series, 2 Billionaires In Vegas, I definitely preferred this one; it was a much better story. The writing still wasn't that phenomenal and it's pretty much 160 pages of porn but it was exactly what I needed right now! Although I did feel like we got more of a storyline out of this one at around 130 pages in.
I'm curious to see what happens in the next books in the series as whilst 3 men is a lot, I'm pretty sure this goes up to 8 or 9 men and how on earth can one woman juggle that!! I loved that within this book we were set up for the next book in this series.
I always love books from dual perspectives so the fact that we get all 4 perspectives from this book is even better 👌🏼 Carson was my favourite of the men by far; he was definitely a real man compared to the other two, with a lot of passion and depth.
The ending felt a little rushed to me but the spice was spot on.

Three Bosses' Assistant is the second book in this series. We get to see our FL from book one but if you haven't read her story you can still follow this one easily. It also sets up book three nicely.
I loved the first half of this book. We got introduced to all the characters and leaned how different each of the featured men are and what makes them all appealing. What I didn't understand was how they would be alright with sharing as they didn't seem have that sort of connection with each other. I didn't feel the closeness and strong connection between the men of this story.
I enjoyed the added component with Carson's ex. It gave the reader a bigger understanding of his sensitive side and made him much more sympathetic. I enjoyed the story but was left wanting more substance.

Spicy with a dash of sugar. After the previous book, we had an inkling of what might happen with this one, but it still didn’t prepare me for where it actually went. I’m impressed by how complex these characters are for the shorter format of the book. I really enjoyed the time spent in the first part of the story getting to know Sascha, Ian, Ryland, and Carson. The troubles that threaten to tear them apart show us an even more vulnerable do-gooder side to Carson, and the avenging mama-bear side of Sascha. I’m just having troubles figuring out why Carson wasn’t able to stand up for himself, that it took the other three to rescue him. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next book brings us.

An unexpected offer with some nice perks
Sasha finally gets a job with the Vegas publishing company that she wanted to work for. The only issue is that it is not the job she was applying for. She wanted to be a Junior Editor but instead was offered and then accepted to be the Executive Assistant for Ian (HR Manager), Ryland (COO) and Carson (CEO). Over the course of the next days she meets and gets to know each of them and is doing a very professional job and taking her responsibilities seriously, as she still wants a shot at a Junior Editor job when one becomes available.
One night things change when they are celebrating after a very successful business meeting and she is kissed. Discussions are had between the men, as they are each attracted to her, as she is to them. When they make an unexpected offer to her will she accept the terms and the rewards?
This is a great RH story that is lighthearted and fun. The characters are interesting and their dialogue was great at times. The story moved along at a nice pace but at times certain scenes felt rushed and too condensed. However I did enjoy this story and look forward to reading the next in this series.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed the second book in the Love by Numbers series, (Two billionaires in Vegas is book one). The story is well written and the plot is great. All of the characters are realistic and their different personalities are believable. Sascha is a great female leading lady. It’s nice that the connection to the first series is mentioned via. a coffee catch up :-) Her three love interests are so very different but they work so well. Ian, Ryland and Carson.....<3 Definitely one for your library if you like RH tales and lots of steam. (The snippet from book three is SO good. Cannot wait for it).

I really enjoyed this book. More than I thought I would because contemporary romance isn't my thing normally, but this was pretty great. I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and even the story arc. I also enjoyed the small struggles of coming to terms with a polyamorous relationship. I think the antagonist was a nice curveball, but I was not the biggest fan of how it played out. It just wasn't realistic. Someone that rich would get an attorney involved and have other testing done. It is the only thing that pulled me out of the story and I think that is because I am an attorney and know what is involved.

Fast paced steamy read with swoon-worthy studs
Three Boss’s Assistant (Love By Numbers Book 2) by Nicole Casey is a well written, fun reverse harem. The lovely lady in this book, Sascha, is friends with Erin from book 1 of this steamy and sexy series.
The plot is engaging, includes a twist with an antagonist you’ll love to hate since she deeply hurt Carson. The men featured in this book are equally hunky, with varying degrees of dominance and highly charming personalities. I really enjoyed the international flair Ian, the Russian and Ryland, the Brit bring to the dialogue.
Overall, a very enjoyable read with plenty of steam and a HEA.

Good story; Bad editing
This is a cute little RH story. I like that the author can tell a decent story without to much angst. She also does a good job with describing her characters and fleshing out their personalities. The downside to this book, and really everything I have read from this author, is the poor editing. I don’t mean small and picky things, I mean really obvious and horrible mistakes. Words added in or missing. Weird sentence structure. Things even the most rookie author or editor should catch if they are even half trying. That is why it doesn’t get 5 stars but a 3.5 instead.

Three guys so different, yet they are all her bosses, and all so hot.
Ian, Carson, and Ryland run a publishing house in Las Vegas. They go through editors like underwear, frequent changes, this time they fired their executive assistant, just before Sasha has an interview for a junior editors position, one they've already filled. Instead Ian offers her the assistants position and talks her into taking it, until the next editor is fired. But she is so dynamite in the job that they all fall in love with her, so how's she gonna handle three hot guys all wanting her when they're her bosses? There is a happy ending after they deal with a conniving ex.
