Maid

Rate this book
After her housekeeping business is destroyed by a rival competitor’s slander, Belle needs a job—and fast. She takes an interview at the house of Alden McLaren, the Hampton’s most eligible billionaire bachelor seeking a new personal maid, but when the handsome hunk looks at her, Belle realizes he wants a whole lot more than a new employee.

But Belle has a reputation to salvage. She can’t be seen as one of those girls that powerful men like Alden attract. She runs, but Alden wants her, and what Alden wants, Alden gets.

He offers her an astronomical salary to be his one and only, personal, live-in maid.

It’s an offer Belle can’t refuse, and there’s only a few strings attached…

I am happily voluntarily reviewing an ARC of this book. If you are looking for fast paced, fun, steamy quick reads this is the author to go too. Each story is safe and no cheating.

Belle once had a successful housekeeping business but after a smear campaigns ruined her reputation and left her business in tatters she forced to start again, and that’s how she finds herself applying for a housekeeper position for renowned playboy Alden McLaren. She’s attracted to him from the start and they share a chemistry that burns off the page but can she trust a man she just met or is she destined to lose everything all over again?

Alden McLaren was forced to fire his last housekeeper when he caught her stealing his ex wife’s jewellery and after a day of interviewing applicants who seem to just want his body or wealth he was ready to call it a day, that Is until Belle walls in and he knows from the moment his eyes rest upon her that she was made to be his. Can he convince her that she’s it for him or will his ex wife drive away his chance of happiness?

Quick saucy read with a little drama.

This one... was idk to me Belle was saying she hated that her competitor smeared her company and said she was sleeping with clients.. and she goes to this interview because Alden wanted a maid/housekeeper and well he was smitten with her he kissed her and he hired her to be his and well they sleep together the first or 2nd day.. like this was super insta. But they did have drama with the ex wife who made belle think she was still married to Alden.. which she wasn't... i do wish he begged more.

Also the way he took her vcard... was yeah...

No om drama ow drama (ex wife), no cheating, Drama, Sexy times, virgin gal & sorta playboy/manwhore but wasnt shown

Ok

2.5 Stars

I had mixed feelings about this story. I felt like Belle succumbing to Alden’s advances so quickly a little weird since she was being accused of sleeping with clients and that notion really bothered her. But she gave it up to Alden almost immediately. I also found it a little disturbing that Alden already had a French maids outfit all ready to go for her and had shoes in several sizes for her to wear. Why did he have so much women’s clothing in his house. Was this part of his playboy past? Yuck!
I did like the couple together and they did have hot chemistry I just wish things didn’t happen so fast.

Safety and Spoilers
Safe. No om drama, ex wife is the main cause of drama for the couple. H became a manwhore after his divorce and was tired of one night stands, h is a virgin. No abuse other than h is slapped by H’s ex wife.

Belle and Alden's story is a quick, combustible, instant love story. Belle is trying to survive the devastation to her business and Alden is looking for a maid. Together they ignite immediately, but not without drama!

If you need a quick read that is steamy, hot and done in a few hours then dive into this short story.

When Belle applies for the position of Housekeeper to Billionarie Alden McLaren she gets way more than she bargained for. This Alpha male knows what he wants and he'll do everything in his power to have Belle, working for him and under him in the nearest surface he can find.

5 sexy as all get-out STARS with a no-nonsense rich alpha male(Alden McLaren) and a gutsy maid aka housekeeper named Belle who was set up by her competitor who ruined her reputation to acquired her clients thus she needed this position to get back on course. Did she get more than she bargained for... well not really, they found love!

This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. 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. Alden isn’t looking for love; he is looking for a new housekeeper. When Belle interviews for the job, he instantly wants her. Will Alden get his woman?
The chemistry and attraction between Alden and Belle is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. I just wish this book were a little longer as I wanted more of them as a couple.
I really liked the ending of this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

The couple: Alden and Belle

Romance trope: she's the housekeeper
Length: 81 pages

Plot: Belle goes to Alden's home to interview for a housekeeping job. She needs to rebuild her business after someone purposefully destroyed her reputation. He's willing to give her the job, but he definitely has some other duties in mind for her.

Commentary: Silly fluff - I've never been on a job interview like that! But I didn't know the world of cleaning services was so cutthroat! This was a lunchtime read, nothing serious but the hero got his girl in the end.

I like over the top. I like ridiculous. This was stupid ridiculous. She’s a “professional” doesn’t want to sleep with her boss, kisses him in the job interview, strips and dresses in a French maid outfit, gives him her virginity, forgets that he talked about his ex-wife, breaks up with him, because she thinks he’s married, but “still loves him, ALL IN ONE EVENING. SHE DIDN’T EVEN EAT DINNER SHE WAS SO BUSY WITH THE DRAMA. I can’t. Can not. Can Noooooooot.

This book is a first for me by this author.
This book is a very fast, saucy, sexy read and you can read in one sitting very quick.
This authors writing is very easy to read and the story was very easy to follow.
Belle is a young professional who once had a very successful housekeeping business until her once so called friend destroys her reputation and Belle now needs to start all over again and pick herself up.
Alden is millionaire business man who needs a maid and is sick of all these maids that he is hiring stealing from him or just wanting a sugar daddy. Belle walks into his life and he knows he must have her shes different, and there is something about her that hes drawn to. Its a bonus that she doesn't care about his money or any of that. Alden did make a lot of assumptions about Belle in the bedroom department and Belle did give herself up to him very very fast.
Will they be together properly ?
Can they see that the connection they have is so strong it bonds them together?

I enjoyed this book i just wish it lasted longer and things didn't happen as fast as they did. I wanted to read more about them both as people and as a couple and what/ where they ended up.

let’s get one thing straight, the book was spicy with a capital S.

but the plot is just...no
she claims she is desperately in need of a job and is I quote “𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 “, yet she kissed him immediately on the day of the job interview ( well he kisses her but I don’t see her being professional ), she strips for him immediately cause she needs to change into her uniform ( again totally professional and normal ) and looses her virginity to him immediately... and yes falls in love the same day...

also she said her business failed because of rumours of her sleeping with customers...but rn she did just that...it doesn’t help her case...

I feel like the whole boss/billionaire and maid story like this has much more potential than this!

I just feel like the plot is total wack!

Maid by Jenna Rose was a quick and steamy read. Belle interviews with Alden McLaren for a job as a housekeeper at his estate. She had a successful business until her name was smeared by a competitor. As soon as Alden meets Belle, he is hooked and knows he has to have her. They have a couple misunderstandings with Alden's ex-wife. I thought this was a good, steamy read. The order of events was a little confusing, and all the mentioning of Belle being an independent woman who knows what it's like to be a business owner was just weird and never shown, only told by her and talked about as her past. They had good chemistry together, however. I liked the book overall.

Sexy little read!!

Alden is just looking to replace the maid he had to fire, but it seems all the candidates are out to sleep with him or are told diggers. Until Belle walks in; beautiful, professional and perfect. Now Alden wants more than just a maid. Will he be able to convince Belle that she's his and it's forever? Or will she run for the hills? This is a cute, sexy read and I highly recommend it!

Making Your Way

Belle just needs to get her foot in somewhere to make her way in the tough world around her. When Alden offers her the job she doesn't realize he's offering so much more.
Alden knows the moment Belle walks into his office she's the woman he's been waiting for. He can picture waking up to her and by his side. He just has to show her he's not the playboy the media portrays him.

Good love story

Rich guy, girl with a cleaning service... a cloche, right? Yes to an extent this does go a bit like that, but there is an ex wife who doesn't know when to quit and a jealous competitor who destroys Bella's reputation.
There was a moment, that if you've read the other Jenna Rose books will be a bit of a repeat, hopefully she will bring something new next time.

the maid was fired because she was caught stealing his ex-wife's jewelry and the FL was in the job interview as a housekeeper because an competitor made rumors so she went out of business. they are interested in each other, however she wants to keep things professional but he seduces her to fall in love with him.

Dramatic

Every romance story needs drama to pull it all together. The drama in this story is intense, but the romance was just as intense, so it fit and did not overwhelm the storyline. Perfect ending for this story that just, smile and sigh.

Cute and Easy

This was an easy and cute read. Thinking from the romantic perspective it was really sweet. Belle and Alden were a match from the very beginning. They didn’t allow for miscommunication to halt their love!

The same thing happened to me as with the teacher's. The role-playing game stopped being fake to feel real, in addition it hoped that Belle was stronger but it turned out to be immature.
As always the happy ending with all the dramas resolved.
