It can’t get much worse than finding your fiancé banging his secretary over the back of your couch, right? 

Wrong. 

Try discovering your unforgettable, dirty talking, arrogant as f*ck one-night stand is your new boss. The same man that you hate with a fiery passion but your traitorous body refuses to read the memo. 

I’ll admit, Liam Maxwell’s cockiness is not unwarranted—in the bedroom or the boardroom—but I’m a professional. I refuse to let an inconvenient attraction affect my career. I’ll just have to do what I do best: manage the situation objectively. 

Why do I get the feeling that’s going to be much easier said than done?



*Note: This book was previously published in a boxed set collection under the title, Bad PR. It has since been revised.

I picked this book up after finishing a really crappy read. I figured this would be a short, hot, palette cleanser and I would move on. I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. I really enjoyed both characters, they had amazing chemistry and even though I knew the book was on the shorter side, it didn't feel extremely short. The author did a fantastic job of making it feel like it was a full story. I'm really happy to say that I have found a new author I can't wait to read more from.

Holy mother of Hot Lava Volcano Sex🌋
Where have you been hiding your this alter-ego writer Laura!!.from writing sweet, rom-com to thi scorching story...You done good girl😆
This is super hot, super steamy quickie(the sex scenes are NOT quickies in any way)♨️
I need a fan...I need the damn AC now, I'm sweating....oomph!!!

description

Avery Adams catches her fiancé, Stuart Reed banging his secretary in his office. She doesn't think he's worthy of her Loubitin's heel she wants to throw at him!!
“You keep telling yourself that, Stewie. Your teeny wienie isn’t my problem anymore. If you wanted it tighter, you should’ve brought a bigger dick to the table.”

description

She does one better...she remains stoically professional and gracefully quit their relationship
But this being a firm of misogynist assholes who have no conscience, she's made to quit Reed & Associates!
In walks her one night stand, the best sex she ever had- Liam Maxwell, of the rival firm.
What follows is a volatile relationship making it difficult for the to co-exist platonic ally!!
"she’s pure fire and sass, and my dick fucking loves it. The sexual tension between us is ratcheting to an unbearable level."

description

Professional and businesslike when in office and erupting passionate kisses and sex when the door closes
Body and Brain are at battle and the readers get singed.
Laura has written Panty Melting scenes and she better hand Liam (of the big cock) to me now!!
I'm not above holding hostages 🤷‍♀️

This was a short and spicy novella. It was all about lust, and honestly, I don't understand how they all of a sudden fell in love with each other when they were only either working or sleeping together. They never even talked about anything personal.
I wish that we at least got an epilogue.🫠

If you're looking for a steamy office romance that is a fast pace read then pick up Public Relations because you will not be dissapointed. Laura Lee delivers it in this one with Liam and Avery. They will have you fanning yourself and looking for new panties by then end of this read. I love the passion and the fight between Liam and Avery. You feel the pull from the moment they meet. Avery is good at what she does and is just this amazing take charge person. Liam will make you squirm and swoon and just make you a puddle of goo by the end of this one. He steals your heart while he steals Averys. I couldn't get enough of these two. You will fan yourself and laugh out loud at times too. This is one book I couldn't get enough of and needs to be one clicked.

This "I'll never sleep with you again" and then sleeping with them 50 more times, only to be told again that it was a mistake they will never make again.... It was really annoying. That jealousy didn't work at all either and especially at a big event telling everyone that you sleep with each other and she "has the best p***y" is just disgusting. He could have saved himself the "I love you".

Great start to Bedding the Billionaire

Right from the start this was a great story. Avery is badass and doesn't take shit from anyone. I think what happened between her ex was the best thing that ever happened to her. If she would have stayed with that loser she wouldn't have found herself or other things she's been missing. Can't wait to get started on the next book!

Holy smokes is this a hot romance!

The sparks between Liam and Avery are incredible, but what I like best in this book is the snark.

I love these two characters and their 'take no prisoners' attitudes toward life and love.

So this author was recommended to me by a colleague....I owe a huge thank you for that! While this was a shorter book it was well written and wrapped up nicely. It was steamy but not unbelievable. And OMG the chemistry was off the charts. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good read. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN OF ROMANCE.....This book is that good.

This gets 6/5 stars on the steamy short story scale!!! Laura did an amazing job packing as much as she could into this short story. It has all of the super sexy parts to make it perfectly steamy, and it has just enough of a story line and ending to give us all of the important parts of a story!

I loved Liam and Avery so much. I loved that they constantly had this hateful banter, but that it fueled their desire for each other. This is also a romcom of sorts. Avery had me laughing my butt off from the every beginning. We get introduced to her in a very unique way and it made it all the more hysterical.

How about we skip the prelims, you would not be reading reviews if you were not already intrigued by the blurb, so I will stick with what you need to know:

You will find plenty of toe curling yumminess with a laugh or two along the way, and smile on your face from their happily ever after. No cliffy, no cheating.

An absolutely fantastic fast pace engaging page turner! This amazing read will draw you in from the first page and hold you captivated until the end! It is well written, emotionally deep, witty, and is quite enjoyable. Strong characters; the chemistry between them is intense and powerful; the sex scenes are hot and off the charts. A MUST READ!

The only downfall to this book is that it is to short- I want more!! This book has laughs and steam.
Liam is super alpha (just like I like them). Avery is sassy and smart. Watching the evolution between these 2 will have you swooning
I normally Hate novellas because they always feel rushed. Ms. Lee did a fabulous job at not giving u that feeling.

The blow outs between Avery and Liam are explosive to say in the least. But the passion behind it all is what makes it a truly aspirational love to look for and want in life. Liam could stand to lose some of his arrogance, but it is somewhat attractive in the ways he came across toward Avery. Avery sure had a rough go in the beginning. But it's better that she weeded out what needed to be tossed out and actually find what is worth going after and keeping.

Hooked from the very first page.

Wow what a start to a book!! I loved Avery and her take no bs from anyone. Liam had me drooling with his cockiness. The push and pull between Liam and Avery, both in and out of the bedroom, is HOT. I couldn't put down Public Relations. Well done, Laura Lee!

I liked Liam & Avery. Their chemistry was instantaneous & unmistakable. Liam's alpha, take-charge attitude was a turn-on. I liked that Avery never let herself become a pawn and did things on her own terms.

Laura Lee is new to me, but I am excited to read the rest of the series.

Laura Lee brings a little something different to the table with her new lust driven, enemies to lovers office romance Public Relations.

Turn up your air, because Laura Lee will melt your kindle like a hershey bar on a hot day. She brings it all to the table with Liam and Avery, two industry driven, workaholics living the dream in the fast paced world of public relations. The heat, chemistry and challenge are all at the forefront of this novel. There is no way you won’t be able to keep from fanning yourself with all the sexual tension and angst these two create.

As a fan of Lee, this novel was a bit unexpected! Typically Lee writes longer, more angst driven reads that span through months of relationships. Although short and fast paced, Lee doesn’t miss a beat creating a deeply rooted,albeit frustrating connection between characters proving once again she can write it all. If you are looking for a hot read and one determined boss, then make sure you read Public Relations.

What a hot, sexy, fast read! The attraction between Avery and Liam was immediate and crazy hot! These two had a total love/hate relationship and that just made it hotter for them. Avery accepts a new job and moves across the country for it and unknown to her it is a job where she will be working for Liam, her sexy one night stand. What was supposed to be a one and done night is not enough for either of them, which for Liam is just crazy because he is not the kind of guy to want more than one night and this just confuses him. I loved the back and forth between Avery and Liam and how that anger would just fuel the fire between them. This was a great fast read and I would definitely recommend it. Especially if someone wanted a really sexy book!

If you’re looking for a short, sweet and mouthwatering book, something light to read, this is it! I loved how the author wrote the book and it seemed to flow together nicely. You know how there are some books where you feel like the story is forced, or the conversations and the story line don’t flow well together? Yea this was nothing like it! It was a cute, nice, sweet, sexy and man o man was Liam mouthwatering! Read it! It’s a cute short story! I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something short and sweet!

If I’m being completely honest I was expecting to enjoy this book but I wasn’t expecting to love it! Thoroughly enjoyed this, loved the characters and the storyline, wasn’t overly drawn out and long, got straight into the story right from the off and carried on drawing you in throughout the story with none of the bits you tend to skip over or rush, and really great read, would’ve really loved a later epilogue, doesn’t detract not having it but it just would’ve been the cherry on top! Loved it 😁

What an opening. Instantly Avery's sass is pure comedy gold and the way she carries herself is beautifully effortless.

Liam's confidence leaves me laughing & grinning like a cheshire cat. His arrogance and ego make him so utterly attractive and swoonworthy!!

There are some really beautiful moments and you feel the growth go from lust to love!

The sexual chemistry, push and pull is just mouth watering and honestly the steam is PERFECTION. Oh my goodness the ending eeek had me squealing, Avery and Liam's journey was nothing that i expected but everything i needed.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️ / 5
Very mediocre and definitely a quick read.
Spice level: 🌶️ / 5
Would label this as steamy rather than spicy. It had some detailed scenes, and the frequency of them was quite frequent. Everything was very vanilla and basic.
Format: Kindle

I read that this was supposed to be an enemies-to-lovers billionaire office romance blabla whatever. Yes, they bantered a lot and drove each other crazy, but they also overcame that very fast. They fucked in the office and then Liam declared that he’d fallen in love with Avery. The end.

The tension was zero, and that’s very much required when it’s labeled as an enemies-to-lovers. Even when it’s a book of only 130 pages. I understand that there won’t be any deep connection with the characters. It won’t happen during such short time, but the tension cannot be excluded.
