Sweet Curves #4
Sugarplum
Sugarplums. They should be dancing in my head. But they aren’t. Why? Because I’m spending my Christmas Eve under the rule of the biggest Scrooge I know. My boss. Lincoln Maverick. He’s gorgeous. He’s a billionaire. And he’s an evil workaholic who demands his assistant works even longer than he does. I’m the fifth one he’s had this year, and I’m about to make him interview for his sixth.
When the clock strikes twelve, my Christmas gift to myself is a resignation letter on his desk and the intention of walking my curvy behind out the door. The last reaction I expected from him was a relieved thank you.
Now, there’s nothing standing in his way.
Lincoln Maverick wants one thing this Christmas. Me...
Warning: this quick read contains over-the-top declarations, insta-love and molten hot moments between a curvy girl and her billionaire boss who deserves to be in the naughty list for the filth that comes out of his mouth. Luckily, his sweet and juicy sugarplum will balance him out.

The only way to describe this book is: Insta-love at lightning speed ⚡️
Emma Rose may be my assistant and therefore off limits, but the moment that curvy ass of hers came swinging into my office, she was mine and no one else’s.

Megan Wade is great at writing short and cute stories and I found this one highly enjoyable and super Christmas cute.
Emma has been working for Lincoln as his personal assistant for the past four months and has been in love with him for just as long. But its Christmas eve and she finds herself working for the modern day Grinch, when he demands that she stays and works into the evening and she is unable to attend her family’s Christmas meal it proves to be the straw that broke the camel’s back and as much as its breaking her heart she knows that she has to leave. Can she really walk away from Lincoln and her dreams or is there another reason he has been pushing her so hard?
Lincoln has been fighting his love and attraction to Emma since the day she set foot in his office, he is not the easiest man to work for that he is aware especially as Emma is his fifth Personal Assistant in the past year but he has been struggling to keep the family business afloat but after a visit from his sister he knows that no matter what he does his sister is determined to sell the business, with the decision made he is free to finally act on his love for Emma only has he left it too late, has he lost her forever?
Super quick and super cute holiday read. Perfect late night read.

”Where the hell is she? I sent her for coffee three minutes ago and normally it takes her two minutes and forty-five seconds to get it back to me. She’s dragging her feet and I can’t stand it. I can’t stand not knowing where she is and what she’s doing. It’s like an obsession that I can’t shake. Emma Rose may be my assistant and therefore off limits, but the moment that curvy ass of hers came swinging into my office, she was mine and no one else’s.”
A super cute holiday, workplace, romance. Emma is Lincoln’s assistant. He’s been obsessed with her since he hired her but treats her rather poorly to combat his attraction. Emma is attracted to Lincoln but can’t stands how gruff and grumpy he is. When he keeps her late on Christmas Eve, making her miss her favorite holiday with her family, she’s had enough. She decides at midnight that she is quitting. Once she does, she basically sets Lincoln free to go after what he wants...her!

Un romance rápido para acompañar con tu dulce favorito de navidad.
•Mi opinión puede contener Spoilers.
•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen.
Sugarplum de Megan Wade serie Sweet Curves libro 4
Mí humilde opinión:
Emma Rose trabaja en Maverick Publishing. como asistente personal del señor Maverick.
Desde que comenzó a trabajar para él no tuvo un momento de relajación.
Es que el tipo es un gruñón adicto al trabajo, es malo y hermoso. Todo lo que hace es trabajar y ladrar órdenes, y la llama con expectativas poco razonables.
Emma ama la navidad, es noche buena y espera ir a reunirse con su familia pero en su lugar, su jefe le dice que se quedarán trabajando hasta tarde.
Eso fue su límite. Emma pedirá la renuncia cuando toquen las 12!
Lincoln Maverick vive para mantener a flote la empresa familiar. Emma es la mejor asistente que ha tenido y está obsesionado con ella pero no puede hacer nada sobre ello porque la necesita en el trabajo.
Ahora está desesperado. Su hermana le dio un ultimátum, encontrar un best-seller que salve la empresa o venderá sus acciones.
Lincoln tiene un plan propio, no importa si no encuentra la salvación al negocio familiar, cuando den las 12 escogera a Emma, la mujer que ama y comenzará un nuevo año juntos.
Mí humilde opinión:
Cuarto libro de las dulces curvas y...
Me gustó la idea del hermoso señor Scrooge y la asistenta con espíritu navideño a tope. La historia estuvo bastante pasable. No hay nada profundo en la trama o los personajes.
Una lectura con doble POV, festiva, dulce, sexy y muy rápida. Se me fueron las páginas mientras me comía unas cuantas galletas glaseadas.

Overly Bossy
3.5 stars - While not one of my favorites from Megan Wade, the second half of the book was cute and steamy. For the first half, I wasn't keen on either of them for different reasons - Lincoln for being a giant dill weed and Emma for essentially acting the part of a doormat.
Yes, something that Lincoln is sure to make happen. 😉
I read this as part of the Sugar Promise for Christmas collection.

I have this drive to want to please him. He barks at me and bosses me around and I… I get off on it.

A little too fast for me
No offense but this story happened a little too fast for me. The chapters were short and the sex wasn't that hot.

3.5⭐
Christmastime is supposed to be magical and happy times... but Emma boss is well bossy and mean and she has the biggest crush on him. But his meanest has her just focused on work. As for Lincoln he's only acting like this because he can't date Emma due to well he the boss and if he had his hands on her he wouldn't focus on work.
But Lincoln pushed to far and Emma is done.. once midnight hits she quits she didn't enjoy spending christmas eve working. What she didn't think was Lincoln being happy that she quit now he can officially make her his girl.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, Virgin gal and no manwhore

Sugarplum
Emma has mixed feelings for her super alpha bossy boss Lincoln. Lincoln has been keeping his love for Emma hidden deep inside because she is the best assistant that he's ever had. While working late on Christmas Eve things come to a head and everything changes. This story is 100% safe from any kind of abuse, cheating and ow/om drama. It's the perfect length for a lunch break or right before bed and has a very Happily Ever After with babies!!

Loved this quick holiday read. A taboo sort of read with Lincoln being Emma’s boss but that will change quickly. Emma and Lincoln were a good couple. The attraction and chemistry between them was hot. Loved the 2 epilogues.

Entretenido, pero el anterior a este me gustó más. Creo que la historia de la editorial y la solución al problema es bastante cutre. Aún así, el epílogo es muy mono y te deja una sonrisa.

You just know when you smile and laugh throughout the book, that it’s gonna be a good one. Merry Christmas Sugarplum.

Okay, now this one was pretty cute toward the end.
Lincoln (40) is an asshole boss to his personal assistant, Emma Rose (22). But man, does she hold her own against him. She spits in his coffee and steals his candy bars from the stash at his desk. My kinda girl. 😂
After Lincoln keeps her at his office on Christmas Eve, she’s finally had enough and quits at midnight. But right then and there he admits he’s wanted her for the 4 months she’s been working for him... and she’s been secretly lusting for him too. She actually got all hot and bothered when he demanded her to do things for him so I guess maybe that’s why I wasn’t too bent out of shape about it? I dunno.
The important thing is that he turned into one devoted dude after they confessed their feelings and fucked in his office (which was pretty hot, btw) and he took her virginity (of course she’s a damn virgin)
The epilogue made me laugh out loud at one specific part:
Giiiiirrrrrlll, I get you. 😂😂
3⭐️ for this one.

Emma es la última asistente de Lincoln. Hasta que ella llegó iba a 1 asistente por mes porque nadie podía aguantar. Ella lleva 4 meses pero ahora que es el día de Navidad y el maldito Grinch no la ha dejado ir a cenar a su casa no va a seguir aguantando. Pero lo último que esperaba es que él terminase dándole las gracias por renunciar.
Como siempre una historia cortita, amor a primera vista, cavernícola enamorado, chica dulce y final feliz con 2.5 hijos jajajaja qué voy a deciros que no os haya dicho en todos los libros. Son estupendas historias para pasar el rato, con cero drama así que a disfrutar!

Hot and simple
It's a good short romance, hot and simple, with good characters who are like ennemies. Emma is Lincoln's secretary. She spits in his coffee and he harasses her. Until Christmas Eve during which he decides that at midnight, if he cannot save his business, he will conquer Emma, and for her part she decides that at midnight she will resign even if she is attracted by this boss whose she hates. When midnight arrives, everything changes.

A little less barking and a bit more talking and I might have been ok with her instant “ I know you were horrid to me two seconds ago , but do me now” attitude. I also hate that he put his company before her.

A panty melting over the top romance thats breezy and easy to read. I really enjoyed reading this forbidden ofgice romace that had me giggling and sighing too.
Emma's boss drives her crazy practically having her on 24/7 standby for all his unreasonable demands. But she isnt going to leave yet as she has placed a secret in the office pool that she will last 6 months....so spit covered stirred coffee and stealing candy from his office desk drawer will have to be her little revenge for the next 2 months....
Lincoln cant stand a minute going by without knowing where Emma is or what she is doing....he has fallen for the curvy woman the moment he set his eyes on her and she is his......even when he knows that he can never have her......

Emma walks into his office at midnight to give her resignation.With her no longer working for the company, he can now be with Emma.

Great read
I loved this short read. The writing style is good, however, it could have edited better. It had instant attraction between the characters which always a plus!

Sweet and dirty story............but is badly in need of a proofreader
Sugarplums are sweet and juicy and that is exactly what Emma is for Lincoln Maverick. The only problem is that Lincoln is the CEO of Maverick Publishing and Emma is his Personal Assistant. She is his obsession who he cannot barely let out of his sight and must know where she is at all times, including when they are not at work together. Emma is just trying to make it another month so she can win the office pool, 5 grand, before she quits like all his previous PA's. But she has her own little ways of getting back at him including stealing his chocolate bar stash, licking the spoon she uses to stir his coffee and a few other.
It is the day of Christmas Eve and Lincoln's sister pays him a visit with an ultimatum - by tomorrow morning at breakfast he must have a plan to make more money or she is going to vote him out and install her husband at CEO. As Maverick Publishing has been in the family for over a century, with a Maverick always running it, this is unacceptable to Lincoln. So he ends up being a Scrooge and makes Emma review submitted manuscripts with him late into the night, thus making her cancel her plan to go to her Grandmother's and celebrate with the family. When Emma finally has had enough and puts her resignation letter on Lincoln's desk he is never more relieved as at that moment. Now he can do what he has wanted to for the last several months...............make Emma his!!! And boy does he know how to do that.............over and over again all night long!!!
This is an sweet insta-love story with a Christmas theme and the addition of some hot and steamy things that are not hot chocolate or mulled wine. I liked the story but the sheer number of twenty-eight proofreading errors that I found really aggravated me and made the story choppy to read. I really like Megan Wade's writing style but she definitely needs to get a good proofreader and make sure this one is sent back and corrected. So if you can overlook the errors then you may just enjoy this book. But for me what could have been a 4 or 5 star review instead is 2 stars because of this sloppiness, and especially for a short story.

This is sugary sweet holiday read with an over the top Alpha and a girl who wants to help grow the grinches heart. You don’t have to read these books in any order; just be sure to read them all or you’ll be sad.

Yeah, I'm sorry but the sex was too boring for me. I know this kind of novella are not for a great plot (which in this case was overly thin), but if the smut is not good enough, than why am I wasting my time reading it?

Yeah ….. no
This is not it. I didn’t like the boss and Emma seemed to much of a push over. I hope the next book is better.
