Assisting the Boss #1
Billion Reasons
There are a billion reasons why you can't. Focus on the few reasons you can.
The last thing I need is a personal assistant. I'm good at my job, and, no matter what my interfering Mom thinks, I don't need help with that.
Yet, somehow, I've ended up with Lilah as my PA. And I like her. She's smart, she's funny, and she's making my life a hell of a lot easier.
But one business trip together, and everything changes. I never wanted this woman in my life, but now she's here, and I can't imagine it without her. Now that feels dangerous...

Another one that's a cliffhanger
I honestly don't know why I downloaded this book. Yes, the blurb sounded good, but I should have checked the author before I downloaded! All I can say is thank goodness it was free. The real problem is this is a 240 page book and there are 4 more you have to read before you get to the end of the story. This author is notorious for cliffhangers and drawing the story out forever. Oh, did I mention that the other 4 books are $2.99 each? So the author wants me to pay $12.00 for a story and read all that fluff and fill (and line her pockets) before she gives a complete story? Not happening, tell me the story in the first 240 or don't tell it at all. Don't expect me to pay for your ramblings and typos.

Boring characters with no chemistry. I skimmed most of the book and it just didn't hold my interest.
It also ends in a cliffhanger which I hate.

Meh
Usual tropes. Nothing really happens. Characters never really develop. Not offensive but also super forgettable. I won’t bother with the rest of the series as I’m not invested in the least

Like watching paint dry
So, this book was one of a dozen or more books I downloaded recently, just to try for something different. Unfortunately, I'm at 40% of the book with one of THE most underwhelming Billionaire CEOs ever. I was trying to hang in there and finish, but there has been zero excitement, zero suspense, no heat, just drab conversation. This is one I just can't finish. I do not recommend, unless you like this sort of reading material.

Normally I read reviews before purchasing a book. At least a glance at the average star rating - must rate an average over 4 stars for me to consider. But, nope. My bad. Somehow I skipped that part. I read the blurb, the book was free, I downloaded. I don't want to rag on this author. I do hope she takes note of the reviews here, takes them to heart as to what readers want, what makes them stop reading, and why so many have left 1-star reviews.
I won't pile on with dragging the book, but I will scream about the cliffhanger non-ending that says The End. It is NOT The End. The story is not finished. The reader has to purchase another book to simply get to the next chapter. If I had known this to be the case, I would NOT have downloaded. I don't care if it's free. I abhor an unfinished book that forces you to buy the next one (or more) to get the remainder of the novel. I'm sorry I wasted my time when I could have been reading something more entertaining and a complete story. From other reviews, I'm not alone.
Fin. In more ways than one.

This is part of the whole story. It has an interesting start as the female lead is introduced as pretty much a flake with an inferiority complex. Turns out the interviewer is his mom and is driven to have the male lead has an assistant that might be a potential love interest. Turns out she is really competent at the job. Oh, road trip, sex … and this is part 1 of the story.

The first book in this series (yes it’s 5 books long) started out ok. But OMG has the whole thing been stretched out needlessly. I say needlessly for the reader, but Lexy is wanting you to pay for the next 4 books to finish ONE story that could have been accomplished in a single book. I used to like this author but I’m done. Authors like this make me feel like I am being ripped off. No thanks

She applies for a mailroom job that is really the assistant to the boss. His Mom wants him to get help, she’s just the girl to do it. But something more starts to happen as he resists having an assistant

personal assistant he didn’t know he needed
I loved the concept but felt the book failed to produce. The characters were immature. Some situations felt off. And it ended with a cliffhanger which is the very worst. This is my opinion and I am sure many will disagree.

Not a stand alone book. Was so annoyed to get chopped off. Absolutely hate these types of writers. Won't ever read another book of this author. Unfortunately it was good reading which is why I was so disappointed about the cliffhanger. M.

Pretty slow moving with cliff hanger.
So the premise of this book was okay, the characters were pretty flat and the plot moved slowly.
This is the first book in a series but not changing at the bit to read the next one.

not all there
I was really into this steamy novel, when it ended without resolution. That stinks. I thought there would be more in Assistant. But no. If all her books are like this, I won’t be reading her books again.

What a story so far
I love this book. The characters fit so well together, and they have such chemistry. I can’t wait to see how this goes.

This leading lady knows what she wants and just how to get it. With good characters and a fantastic performance this book is great.

This was an okay book. The sex scenes weren’t written very well but still fun to read.

Oh my!! Damian and Lilah had me from the very beginning! I loved everything about these two! Can't wait to see what's going to happen next! 💙

hoping it was just the version I had but there are so many copy and typo errors in this book. please find some proof readers! the story and characters are flat and so is their romance.

a good read
It would have been higher but for the abrupt unhappy ending. I say unhappy, because no one should abuse a switched up phone… shows a lack of character.

DNF. CLIFFHANGER.

Not a full book
Not a complete book. Ends before any HEA. If I had known this was not a complete book, I would never have downloaded it nor read it.

Cliffhanger. Not a whole lot of development in this one.

Offer part one for free and then just end the book in the middle of the story. No thank you.

I liked this story even though I didn't care for some of the language, I found it funny and will be getting the next installment.

The couple: Damien and Lilah
Romance genre: office romance
Series: Assisting the Boss
Length: 236 pages
Plot: Damien's mom hires him an assistant (without his say-so). He's just getting used to Lilah and then they have to go on a business trip. Stuff happens and there's an abrupt cliffhanger.
Commentary: I'll be honest - I stopped reading this author for two reasons: endless cliffhangers/sequels, and ill-formed stories. The character development is often lacking or nonsensical. There are characters who are acting out of the norm for the trope of the book. The dialogue is somewhat stilted. By the end of the book, I was not inclined to continue reading because I didn't care what happened to the people. I wouldn't normally be this mean with a review, but I've read three of four stories by this author, and they all follow the same format, regardless of length. There's a cliffhanger leading to another book and another and another (or even worse, the story stops halfway through, there's sample chapters from other books, and you still have to buy the next book to get the rest of the story). So much of the story could have been edited to form one or two books rather than a longer series, and nothing would have been lost.
Grammar/formatting: needed another pass with the proofreader/editor
