My first day of my new job can’t possibly go worse, right?
Wrong. When I meet Parker Scott, I realize this job is going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Quitting isn’t an option; I’ll have to learn to deal with the three Bossholes in one way or another.

Every assistant I hire is gone before the end of the day. Most leave crying within hours of starting. I'm not an easy person to work for, I know this. But. I. Don’t. Care. I expect my assistants to work hard and do their job. I don’t want their opinions or thoughts… until I meet Logan. She quickly becomes indispensable to the company, and my heart.

Dnfed this biatch at 37%. Whooo boy where do I start? You really have to leave all reality at the door when starting this book..... First of all, the instalust after him first seeing logan (the girl) was kind of cringy. his two friends who keep checking out her a$$ and boobs was so effing cringy.... Her taking selfies with them was cringy.

And there is literally nothing in her personality that would make him fall in love with her. They barely talk to each other and they're hugging and kissing and being passionately in love?....

And another thing!!! These three Hs who are the bosses would never exist in the real life corporate world. C'mon...

First of all let me say what I didn't like about this book because there will be plenty things to say what I like about this book :D

I thought the romance was too fast by my liking, but I understand why the writer chooses to do it. Another thing I didn’t like was the obvious way the bad guy was bad and the way it turned out.

Now we get to the part I liked :D
I liked the humor in this book. There were several moments I laughed out loud. Another thing I liked, or to be honest, loved was the personages. The connection they have with each other but also the characters, they look ideal but also human.
Overall I loved reading this book and can’t wait to start reading the next book in this series.

Logan Johnson is an amazing assistant who doesn’t take any sass off of anyone. She’s excellent at her job, efficient, and smart. She has lots going on in her life, but it doesn’t interfere with her work performance. All of her skills are needed to get Parker under control, as she was hired by HR as his assistant. He had already gone through three assistants in three months, the last two in tears only two hours after meeting him!

Parker Scott is well aware of his shortcomings in the personality category. He knows he is irreverent, brusque, and no-nonsense. We see his, Owen’s, and Lucas’ personalities on display in the meeting that starts the story. Owen Powell is blunt, in-your-face and built like an ox. Lucas Coleman is the voice of reason who stays calm in every situation and has a massive heart. He also had the foresight to put a team of lawyers on retainer just in case Park and Owen couldn’t behave themselves. Parker Scott is the difficult one, cold and ruthless, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Yet all three have great business sense, make a formidable team, and are very capable at running the investment company their fathers started and have trained them to master.

When Parker meets his assistant, I couldn’t stop laughing. He expected a man since “Logan” is obviously a man’s name, at least in Parker’s world. When Logan called him Mr. Scott, he told her not to – apparently he couldn’t handle how his name sounded when she spoke it. When she called him Parker, he told her not to do that either – same reason. She used “Sir” where she could, but eventually blew up at him in frustration and ended up referring to him, even in greeting, as “Employer”. The dialog and banter in this story is so well done! And everything Logan does for him is above and beyond his expectations. He doesn’t want to admire her work ethic, but he is duly impressed. All of the characters are so good together and you will devour this book eagerly! Full of humor and genuine caring, these guys will amaze you.

Logan flusters the unflappable Parker right at the start. She is willing to butt heads with him if that’s what it takes. But she is amazing at her job and all of the guys really grow to love her. When Logan experiences a serious setback in her health, the guys come together for her. Parker puts her in his condo to care for her around the clock, with the others jumping in to help as well, and Logan arguing all the way that no one has ever taken care of her that way. They really are more family than business partners! Or maybe they just do both so well. Grab your copy and enjoy this great story line that will renew your faith in people!

clean? huh.

So this ended up being a clean romance. Nothing wrong with that but I don’t see it anywhere in the description so if you don’t like those, this won’t be for you.

I enjoyed this little read but I have to tell you, you’ve got to suspend belief and put up with some cheese. Like, there’s no way these guys run their company the way they do. The way the talk to employees? Smexual Harassment! They don’t seem to really understand the business because they do no actual research on anything they’re doing, and you almost never see them work. All they do is hang out in each others offices and f off.

There was also a really weird, almost reverse harem dynamic between the owners and the heroine though they made a real effort to make it seem wholesome with the other two. But like I said, there were some real RH vibes. I just went with it and pretended that there might actually be guys like this somewhere in the world.

There’s a heavy cancer storyline so be prepared for that if it’s a trigger for you. I did like that it showed the mental toll it takes when you get a mastectomy and it was really nice to see Parker not care about that at all and try to make her feel beautiful.

I’m also not sure how I feel about them deciding not to have kids… that always seems to wrap a story up for me and I’m a person that decided early on that I never wanted to have kids lol.

So if you just sit back and let the story take you for a ride without examining things too hard you should have a good time.

Logan needs this job and she is not about to let Parker break her like he has the past assistants. She has a lot of sass and is a firecracker keeping all 3 guys on the edge of their seats. The fact that she is sexy and all of them notice doesn't hurt. When she saves them millions, they become her biggest cheerleaders. Then she finds out her cancer is back. Will she lose her job? Can she ever get ahead? Very heartfelt read that will make you laugh and cry

Assisting the Bosshole is a hilarious read with great characters, Logan and Parker, in this office Rom-Com. The book is extremely well written with plenty of fun banter, sizzling chemistry, and a wonderful romance. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be definitely be reading more future books by Kristen MacQueen.

To be honest, I chose to read this book because of the title, and the blurb. I have been reading a lot of novellas lately, so I was almost put off by the fact that this was a full length book. I was afraid that it would lose my attention after a couple of chapters. I could not have been more mistaken. This book had romance, laughter, tears and handled a sensitive subject with the utmost tact. The characters were relatable, even endearing and the story line was perfectly poignant. This is the first book I have read by Ms. MacQueen and I will be sure to read the next book in the series.

Loved this debut!
I received "Bosshole" as an advanced ARC and adored it. Five solid stars for steam, humor, and seriously engaging characters. Parker and his two wingmen were hilarious and hot, and Logan was amazing. Highly recommend this read to everyone who's looking for spice, humor, and a great escape!

I made it 47 pages in when all I wanted was to stop at page 1. One word for you, sexual harassment. The first 47 pages are riddle with continuous instances of sexual harassment and workplace inequality not to mention immature characters with little to no substance.

I really enjoyed the first book in this new series! The characters, the swoon, the steam - this book has all those things, and more. It even has some laughs!

Logan is amazing. On the inside, she's going through a lot, which made her seem more human than other female leads I've read in the past. She's strong, she's resilient, and she is doesn't take anything from anyone, which makes her the perfect woman to whip Parker into shape. She's more than just a pretty face who is willing to do whatever anyone pleases whenever, and I love that about her.

Parker really made me want to hate him at first - his gruff demeanor and bosshole tendencies made me give him a major side eye the first time I met him on the pages. But as I got through the story, I totally fell for him. He's got a tough side to him, but he's a hard worker, he's generous, and he's got a soft side that made my heart skip a beat or two at times.

And don't even get me started on the other cast of characters in this book. You'll love them, and they'll make you laugh. A lot. So be prepared.

Overall, this book was a great combination of heat, angst, tension, and laughs - a perfect summer read (or anytime read) from an amazing author! Thanks to her for an advanced copy of this book. It set up the next book in this series perfectly, and I can't wait for more.

Even though Logan needs this job, she is not going to stepped on or taken for granted. Logan is the secretary/assistant to Parker, who is one of the owners of the company. Parker is grumpy and has scared off every single person assistant that has worked for him. When Logan stands up to him, he realizes that he may have a diamond join his team. As Logan uncovers betrayals within the company, she also battles an illness. Will Logan and Parker be able to work together and maintain their relationship as coworkers only or will they both act on their intense chemistry?

I adore Logan and Parker. Their chemistry is sizzling, and their banter had me literally laughing out loud. This is a fun, sweet, and funny romantic book that is a quick read that will leave you feeling good and happy. I found this book to be a fantastic quick read that was both romantic and entertaining, and it's also an excellent first book to a new series. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

The three “bossholes” have grown up together and now are businessmen together. Where you find, you find them all. These guys are funny. They are immature, pull pranks on each other, and each has a different personality strength to bring to the team.

This story is about Parker Scott. He’s the tough boss, the “difficult one”. He’s been through many assistants before Doris hires Logan. Logan totally flusters Parker from the beginning. She is no-nonsense, great at her job and the guys adore her. She’s in a financial bind and really needs the job.

Without revealing too much, Logan goes through a really tough time and the guys are there for her. Parker has her brought to his condo so he can care for her 24/7. The other guys are his neighbors, so they all care for her.

The humor and affection are what really drew me to this book. The next installment is about Owen, who has no filter. This should be good.

Assisting the Bosshole was an enjoyable, easy to read story about Parker and Logan. Parker has trouble keeping an assistant because of his attitude and when Logan is hired to be his assistant, they immediately butt heads.

The banter between these two as well as the other bossholes is on point. You never knew what was going to come out of their mouths.

Logan has a serious health issue that is addressed and I loved how all of the bossholes rallied around her. The love and care they had for her showed how big each of their hearts were and I’m looking forward to the stories for Lucas and Owen.

If you are looking for a sweet, funny romance with emotional undertones, look no further. Assisting the Bosshole is the perfect summer read.

Brand new assistant to possible the most infuriating and sexy man check that there's 3 of them Parker my new boss hes gone threw a few even made them cry Owen a constant flirt is one step away from a harassment case and Luke is the glue hes the friendly one. And me I really need the job I have plenty of medical debt but when things get tuff the boys are there for me and I have fallen for Parker.

This was a funny slightly drama filled romance with allot going on sometimes I found myself wondering which one of the guys Logan was with shes extremely close to all of them and them her. Also Logan and Parker have very little time together alone as a couple. But was still a well written story.

I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

New favorite author to me, I laughed so much in this book the chapters flew by. The characters were so diversified in personalities, and you can't but help love all of them as they complement each other perfectly. The story line was the usual boss falls in love with assistant but what sets it apart from similar books is the interactions between the characters, the laughter, emotions, friendships and the love. The author did an amazing job to capture true friendships and bantering, traumatic experience and eventually love. I can't wait to read the next book, do yourself a favor get this book and enjoy the laughter and the love.

Romance at once simple, funny and moving
4.5
I loved the first part of this story when the two characters have dialogues during which their feelings are more conflicting than in love, while building a feeling of tension, of attraction between them.
This first part is hilarious, between Logan and Parker who face absurd situations like those when Logan has to constantly change the way she talks to her new boss, Parker, while the other two bosses laugh at their friend.
The rest of the story is not always as funny, but it is a little more touching, while still leaving some traces of humor.

As I've come to expect from Mrs MacQueen, Assisting the Bosshole is another fab read full of heart, snort-worthy banter, feels, & swoony romance. This is a great addition to the RomCom lane. Parker & Logan have lovely chemistry, and she quickly befriends the other bossholes, worming her way into their hearts. I adored Parker, but I have to say Owen is my solid favorite. Cannot wait for his book! 5 stars all the way!!

May I please, please give this book more than five-stars?!? It is just that good!! I was snort-laughing so hard and so often with all of the interactions between Parker and Logan, there were times I would have to put the book down long enough to catch my breath!! This was romantic comedy at its absolute best!!

I LOVE this story! It was entertaining from the last page until the last! Logan is a firecracker and stands up the the feared boss Parker Scott. It’s a case of insta-love though it wasn’t apparent to them from the start. She is sassy and has the best comebacks when dealing with the three bosses - Parker, Lucas and Owen. It was fun to read how Logan and Parker navigates their relationship through personal and business crisis. There was romance, tragedy and so many funny laugh-out-loud moments. I can’t wait to read the next story! I would definitely recommend reading this novel as I will be re-reading it again!

Logan is starting a new job as a personal assistant for Parker Scott. He has been known to make his assistants cry and quit within hours of working for him! Only she needs this job to pay off her medical bills! Parker thought his new assistant Logan was a man, imagine his surprise when a beautiful young woman shows up in his office! He can’t help falling for her and wanting to take care of her! Only Logan is used to being on her own and taking care of herself! Can Parker show her that they belong together? Great book that I would highly recommend!

Holy man! Fantastically exciting new series from an already phenomenal author! I couldn't read this story fast enough, I was HOOKED! I loved Parker and Logan, but I fell just as much in love with Owen and Lucas and was so thrilled to see how much they were a part of the story as well as the main characters! Just when I think this author can't impress me more with her words than she's already done, she writes something so hilariously entertaining and just knocks the story out of the park I fall more in love with her work! 

This is one bosshole that will be a forever book boyfriend of mine!

this was a good read with real life issues. I loved the bond with three strong men and how they come across as cold but are really warm and fuzzy. I love how they opened their hearts and minds to help someone in need and to except her for who she is. I am looking forward to reading Owen's story

Missing One Thing

I loved this story from beginning to end. I loved the interaction of the characters even the over the top moments. What I truly enjoyed the most was that we got other chars perspective of what is happening. A great way to introduce us to characters for future books. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because we didn’t get enough detail of erotica. Two or three scenes would have been a true game changer. Otherwise I am truly blown away by this author❤️

This was a fun story about an at work romance between Logan (female lead) and Parker, her boss. They drive each other crazy in the best way possible but he is also really there for her. It has some serious moments but also lots of funny times and it kept me laughing throughout the story.

This is the first time I read this author but I cannot wait to read more in this series.
