Office Romances #3
Knocked Up by the Boss
All business.
No time for pleasure.
Until Bridgit walks in to my office.
I needed a secretary, not a distraction.
But after years of devoting myself to my business,
Recovering from my nasty divorce
She derails my ‘all work and no play’ lifestyle.
Passion flares between us. There’s no escaping it.
Our hot affair threatens to become so much more.
I want to make her mine.
It might work.
Until my ex blazes back into town and Bridgit takes off.
All drama and no commitment didn’t work for her.
I don’t blame her.
But I will find her and get her back.
And I’ll find out the secret she’s hiding from me.
No matter what.
Because when I want something, I don’t stop until I get it.
And I want Bridgit to be my wife.

OK I don't think I have ever read anything with characters this dumb and stupid. I would give this 0 Zero stars if I could. I know these are cheesy romance stories with not much character development or storyline behind them.
But this is RIDICULOUS!!
The Hero of the story, is a push over. His ex wife cheated on him and then proceeded to divorce him and marry the man she cheated with on the same day the divorce became final. Breaking the hero's heart. Years later he falls in love with a very young but beautiful women who has been kicked out of her very rich family because she wouldn't agree to an arranged marriage. The man was an abuser of women. But her parents kicks her out of the house with just the close on her back. Her brother saves her and gets her a job as a secretary. Poor girl was not qualified for anything but to look pretty and be a rich mans housewife. But she had determinations to learn.
Ok Here Comes the Real Dumb Stupid parts. The Ex Wife shows backs up years later when she discovers her now husbands has been cheating on her. She goes back to the hero demanding to live with him. He puts up with just a little fight. His own mother makes him let the cheating Ex Wife live with him. Meanwhile the heroine and the hero have been having hot and heavy sex, but when they arrive at the hero's apartment locked in kissing only to find the Ex Wife moved in bag and baggage. The heroine runs off without trying to find out what is going on. She just leaves. The hero should have called the police and had the B through out of his home bag and baggage instead he lets her stay because he at 40 can't disobey his mother!!! WTF!! If his mother cared anything for him she would have through the B out herself. Instead she makes the hero serve them tea and cookies!!
Poor Heroine finds herself pregnant. That was it for me!!
This whole story is just stupid dumb characters. It doesn't make any sense!! I am glad I got on this Kindle Unlimited for free.
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME READING THIS GARGAGE!! DNF!!

Annie J. Rose has written a 5-star book that will have you from the first page to the last page. Bridgit's parents kick her out and cuts her off when she doesn't marry the man they want her to. Bridgit goes to work for Andrei and the attraction they have for each other is over the top. They end up together and things go fine until Andrei's ex-wife Katya shows up wanting to stay with him since she is getting a divorce. He tells her 'No" she is not his problem anymore. She leaves his office mad. Things return to normal for them and they start seeing each other away from the office. They spend the night at Bridgit's and decide to go spend the rest of the weekend at his penthouse when they get there Katya is there and acts like she has been there for a while. Bridgit leaves upset and Andrei calls after her but she keeps walking away from him. He tries to call her but they all go to voicemail. He goes by her apartment but it is dark. She is sitting at her table when her brother Steven comes in and asks "if she has been getting texts from an unknown number?" She tells him she has seen a few but with everything that has been going on with Andrei, she has ignored them. Steven tells her to look at them since they are from their mother. She looks at them and they all say they need to talk. She tells Steven that she can't deal with this now. He asks what she needs? She tells him that she just needs to get out of the city and asks if he could help her do that. Steven tells her to pack a bag, he knows of a place she can go. He takes her to a cabin and she thinks it is perfect for her. Steven makes sure that she has what she needs. Things are going fine for her until she starts getting sick in the morning so she goes to the doctor and finds out she is pregnant. She tells her brother but she doesn't call Andrei to let him know. She finds a job there in the little town she is in and now she wants to stay. Andrei has rented an apartment just to keep from staying in his penthouse with his ex-wife. All he can think about is Bridgit. Gus, his friend tries to get him to go out with someone else but Andrei just can't do it. One day at her job, the man her parents wanted her to marry shows up at the show she works at and he sees her. She knows that her parents will know where she is at in no time, so she calls Steven and tells him what is going on. He tells her that she needs to call Andrei that day and if she doesn't he will go and get him and bring him to her so they can talk. The next day, Steven calls her to let her know that he and Andrei will be there in a little while. When they get to the cabin, Andrei sees that she is pregnant. They go into the cabin and she tells Andrei what her life has been like. As they are talking their parents show up and Steven takes care of them and they cut him off for siding with Bridgit.
Can Bridgit and Andrei get over the past hurt and move forward?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

The Challenging Path of Love
When Bridgit Holliday refused to acquiesce to her parents and their plans to an arranged marriage to form a political/social/financial alliance that they had orchestrated with another family, her parents kicked her out without anything—even a change of clothes. So, unwilling to be her parent’s pawn, she sets off on a path for which her previous 20 something years had not prepared her. She has no skills and no direction, no sympathizing friends—they aligned with her parents and their own parents—but she did have a loving and supportive brother, who breaking from their parents, arranged for an apartment, clothes and food and even connected with a friend, Gina, assistant to Andrei Petrov, to get his homeless, jobless sister an interview for the position of secretary at the Petrov’s import company. And, while familial connections once more smooth the path in Bridgit’s life, she quickly realizes that unless she gains the necessary skills required for the job, she would lose this opportunity for independence from her parents.
Andrei Petrov is a self-made man who has charted his own way through life. As a first generation American, son of Russian immigrants, he grew up speaking Russian at home and an accented English at school; he knew that the only luck that came to someone like him was luck of his own making. So, he worked hard and luck came. So, when his assistant, Gina, shares the back story of the new girl—Bridgit—the most beautiful and appealing woman Andrei has encountered in a long time—he struggles to sort his mixed instincts—to bed her or to protect her. And, adding to the tenuous path of love for the older boss and his younger employee are the individuals that both Andre and Bridgit seek to evade—his ex-wife and her over-bearing parents.
Annie J. Rose is a masterful writer who engages the reader’s emotions and mind. She captures well the constant concerns of the individual moving out of the shadow of parents and coming to recognize and even question the lessons we have learned as truths. As Bridgit gains a wider perspective from her life’s experiences and encounters with individuals of diverse backgrounds, she comes to sees her views of life were not always well-formed ideas. This is a novel that not only entertains, but also provokes the reader's contemplation of the road blocks that come to individual growth and the growth relationships endure on the pathway to love.

New born fawn meets real world with a billionaire added in
Knocked Up by the Boss is the third book in the Office Romances series and is the story of Bridgit and Andrei. The story-line was engaging and at time my heartstrings were being pulled quite nicely from one end to the other on the emotional scale. In a lot of ways Bridgit is like a new born fawn trying to learn how to survive in a new world. Well it is really her new reality that she is trying to figure out, while also doing the best she can. Bridgit grew up with wealth and not having to deal with the day to day things. But her parents cut her off and take away everything, leaving her penniless and homeless, when she refuses to marry a man that they want her to. Luckily for her she has a great older brother in Stephen. He gets her an apartment and then a job even though she has not marketable skills for the job market. She is going to have to quickly learn how the other 99% live day to day.
Andrei is a self made billionaire who at forty years old is divorced, has only a couple friends and basically just works. His personal assistant is Gina and she hires Bridgit to be his new secretary. Let's just say that the sparks fly between Andrei and Bridget when they meet but she is his employee and he is her boss. As Bridget fumbles her way through things Gina is there to help guide her. Things are going along with Bridgit starting to settle in a bit and get steadier but after a late night in the office the attraction between Andrei and Bridgit sparks a little too much and they have a very steamy encounter. After this they start to see each other, along with working together and being professional. It is good at but when Andrei's ex-wife shows up and moves into his penthouse Bridgit is out the door like a shot and hitting the road. The only problem is that she is taking a little piece of Andrei with her. So now what does she do? She has learned to be strong and has become more self-confident about her ability to handle life. So she may let Andrei explain about his ex but that does not mean that she is going to be a doormat for him.
I quite enjoyed Knocked Up by the Boss. Of the series so far this is my favorite. I liked the journey of self discovery that Bridgit takes and her perseverance and determination that she shows along the way. At some points I wanted to shake her up a bit but she got there in the end. I would recommend this book to other readers.

This author writes her male characters like a 22 year old fresh out of school girl. There actions, habits and inner monologues are nothing like a matured man of 30s. Never seen a more sap, passive and absolute lowest form of Beta Hero. And no, not the "silent, brooding, patient, submissive but strong" kind of betas like the earthy and adorable but rugged work-worn heroes you'll find in western rancher romances. No. This guy is a Russian businessman who's supposed to have a "Boss" personality but also charming and caring. What we get is a sappy spineless vapid forgettable guy who's easily dominated by the "demon ex-wife" timidly falling in service when confronted.
Miss author doesn't know how to write male characters.. she writes like she THINKS male characters are. Just whipping out a dick in a while and playing the "don't dare touch her" in a bar cliches wont make an Alpha character, Miss author. You don't have the faintest idea how men think and operate. Showing your bestie your crush at office for his approval? Talking to him about the night you spent after? Thinking what his two female assistant and secretary might be talking about and wished you had been there? Lol what?! This is NOT how men operate! This is all women traits. And men surely DONOT get wistful to know what two women are talking about. And when his ex shows up uninvited to his apartment and the h runs out (okay what the hell even was that scene? So abrupt and nonsensical) instead of following her and holding her back, this guy let's her go, alone in such an emotional state...comes back ..and instead of throwing out the bitch he LOCKS himself in his room and calls his parents. His PARENTS?! Really??! What is he? 12 years old?
Ridiculous.
Just for an example this is how the guy reacts when the evil ex wife he oh so loathes is in his house enjoying drink in the livinv room and he locks himself in his bedroom in his own house-
"I rolled over onto my stomach to hold my pillow to my face and scream into it."
I literally imagined a girlie scream into the pillow with legs and fists thumping and all.
And so many fillers. The book was just filled with monologues and over explanations just to fill pages. Was boring as hell and I skipped 5 pages in each chapter. Could have done with 150 pages.
Not motivated for anymore books from this author.

This is a great story about a family who is very wealthy and what they expect from their daughter and how she reacts and moves on with her life. Bridgit has had a life of privilege, never worked a day in her life and money is always there for her. When her parents tell her they are arranging for her to be married and picked out her husband to make a business deal Bridgit tries to go along with it until she sees herself in a loveless and possibly a harmful relationship and stands her ground with her parents and tells them “No”. So they kick her out with NOTHING and her older brother, Steven is there to help her. Once he knows what happened he takes over and helps Bridgit get a place to live, clothes, food and a job. When Bridgit meets her new boss, Andrei during the interview she becomes very attracted to him. Andrei owns his own company and was brought up without a lot and has earned his wealth and appreciates it. When he sees Bridgit he also becomes attracted to her and knows if she is hired it will become difficult to remain professional. When these two spend a night out at the bar with friends they end up spending the night together and agree to have a relationship outside of work and it goes from good to bad once Andrei’s cheating ex-wife shows up and Bridgit leaves without a word. Bridgit again has the all the help she needs from Steven and she starts over in a small cabin in the woods and gets a new job and loves her life outside the city. Once she is discovered things start to unravel and it’s either her parents are going to force her back or Andrei will finally have his chance to explain what really happened. Bridgit gets to explain her side of what happened and once that is done Andrei does what any man in love should do...protect and love his woman!

Bridgit has been disowned by her parents for refusing to marry the man they chose for her. Determined to learn to stand on her own two feet for the first time, she gets a job at Andrei's company with the help of her brother. Things are very rocky in the beginning, but what she didn't anticipate was the instant attraction to Andrei. Their chemistry continued to grow over the weeks. But the reappearance of Andrei's ex-wife could put an end to the budding romance. Dealing with this, her parents, and finding out she's pregnant is not the path Bridgit chose, but she's determined to make the best of it on her own terms.
**Spoilers** I liked Bridgit and Andrei's love story. The chemistry between them was great. As I was reading, I wondered if it would be your typical secret pregnancy where the herione hides it for years, and the something happens and she's forced torevealthe truth. I hate those types of plots because it's so selfish. But I loved that this was different. Yes, she did hide it for a few months, but it was after she had already left Andrei that she found out she was pregnant and didn't really know her next steps. What I didn't like was the reason she left him. Bridgit immediately jumped to conclusions about Andrei's ex-wife and didn't give him the opportunity to explain. I don't understand why so many women do that in stories I read. I prefer to make you explain it to me right then instead of run away and allow my brain to make up all kinds of ideas. Andrei could've handled his ex-wife better to me as well so that didn't help the situation. Overall, it's a good read.

Wonderful love story.
This is a wonderful love story with wonderful characters that had you desperate for a happy ending. Bridgit had to overcome a lot before she had her happy ever after after being kicked out of her family by her parents as she refused to marry someone just for her parents business & their place in society. Her brother Steven helped her get a flat & a job where she met her handsome boss Andrei there was a connection between them from the start but their relationship didn't start off in the conventional way wanting to keep it quiet at work but Bridgit took his wording of this to him not wanting her for anything other than sexual agreement but then when she found his ex wife at his home she thought the worst of him & ran. Steven arranged for a place outside the city fir her to stay & she even got herself a job, when she told him she was pregnant he told her to tell Andrei which she refused to do. As much as he Andrei should have made his feelings for her clearer she should have given him the chance to explain what was going on with his ex wife & how she just turned up out of the blue but it took her being seen by the man she was supposed to have married who was going to tell her parents where she was that her brother went to get Andrei so she could tell him about the baby but also for them to clear the air about what exactly had happened In their lives. I loved at how excited she was when she'd got her first ever paycheck & took Gina with her to open herself a bank account in her own name with the money she had earnt herself.

Bridgit grew up in a wealthy family but her parents had cut her off financially, locked up her bank accounts and kicked her out of their house when she refused to marry a man of their choosing who she disliked. Fortunately her brother set her up with an apartment, set her up with a job and was able to sneak out some of her clothes. She got a job at Andrei’s company as a secretary but she had no experience and had trouble with her assignments but her coworker was a big help. From the first time he had seen her Andrei was romantically interested in her and they ended up hooking up after a night out. When they are at work after hat night Andrei has a talk with her saying their relationship would not affect their work relationship and he would get her anything she needed. At first Bridgit was upset with this but they continued to see each other. When Andei’s ex-wife moves into his penthouse unannounced Bridgit didn’t wait to hear any excuses and she left town. Would Andrei be able to explain to Bridgit what was going on or would she be through with their relationship? Would hey ever be able to work out her family issues and find a HEA?
I enjoyed the story even though I really didn’t like Andrei’s character. He let his ex-wife and his mother run his personal life. I couldn’t believe he would move out of his penthouse and let his adulterous ex-wife live there and lose the woman he supposedly loved.

Discovering Their Real Lives:
By Korkoi -
Andrei I had sworn off relationships and was happy being an antisocial workaholic, because of what happened with his ex-wife. Bridgit had been brought up in a privileged family, but the demands from her parents led her to try and forge her own path. The sparks between them during their first interaction is of volcanic proportions, but they try everything in their power to resist it. Their willpower falters not long after and they settle into a semblance of happiness. However, a misunderstanding, stubbornness, a decision to be independent and failure to communicate, nearly costs them their happiness.
This is a story about two broken hearted people who are meant to be together, but they are scared to acknowledge it to themselves and each other, until an intervention forces them to accept the inevitable. It is a heartwarming and heartbreaking story, that will be hard to put down once you start. I suggest you find a few hours of me time, then relax and enjoy this amazing book.

A very good book with wonderful characters in Brigit and Andrei. Some drama occurs with his ex-wife camping out in his home while Andrei and Brigit are out of town. If I had been Andrei I would have kicked her butt out right in front of Brigit as soon as I saw her making herself comfy in what was no longer her home and causing even the possibility of a problem with his relationship with Brigit!! Brigit runs off (of course) and enlists the help of her brother Steven in disappearing and when she discovers that she is pregnant she refuses to contact Andrei. Luckily for her, Steven has no such problem and manages to get her in the same room with Andrei so that they can work things out. There is more drama when the parents of Brigit and Steven also arrive on the scene and cut Steven out of their lives when he will not be as cold and manipulative as they are and he sides with Brigit and Andrei! I would love to see Steven get his own book since he sounds like the kind of guy who would make a great H!

This story had some interesting twists and was unique right from the start with Bridgit starting out on her own for the first time without the benefit of her family’s wealth. What made her do likeable was that she never felt sorry for herself for the circumstances that left her without a home or money. She had never worked before, but she didn’t quit when things got tough.
Andrew was also unexpected. He was quite involved in his business. When Bridgit was hired as his secretary, he noticed she was struggling with the simplest tasks for the job, but once he knew a little about her circumstances, he helped her learn what she needed. He could have taken the easy way or given up on her, but he didn’t.
The had good chemistry they couldn’t resist but as with these boss/employee things, both unsure how to characterize the relationship without overstepping. The inevitable misunderstanding from the past causes the couple to separate, and I just had to keep reading to see what would happen next. It was an enjoyable book

Parents are not supposed to let you fly free! This is about Bridgit and Andrei. This book was all over the place with me. Losing a parent is one thing but having them cut you out because you do not want to marry someone, they agree to is another loss in itself. Looking at this book, being poor is one thing as all the parent tries to do is make sure you are healthy and not going hungry, but when you are wealthy, it seems that some parents need to make sure that you continue that lifestyle instead of teaching them to be independent. Note this is not what this book is about but it irks me to see peoples life being played.
Bridgit works for Andrei and they have also been seeing each other. Steven is Bridgit’s brother and although he doesn’t agree with what has happened to Bridgit, he does make every attempt to help her out. The love that Bridgit and Andrei feel for each other is now compromised when his ex-shows up, so can they work out this issue, can her family stay away or make peace with the fact that she doesn’t want the same as what they want. This book keeps you intrigued to find out what is next. Great READ!

Their relationship had many difficulties to overcome before they could be together!

Bridgit was the only daughter of wealthy parents, reared in luxury, Bridgit was helpless without her brother when her parents abandoned her for refusing to marry the man of their choosing. Finding a job and learning to rely on herself was something she was determined to do. Her first day at work was fraught with difficulties, but she soon learned what needed to know, and the first paycheque she had earned was a cause for celebration. Andrei was her boss, but he was also her friend. He was attracted to Bridgit from the beginning, and when she kissed him, he knew he had to make her his.

What a great romance. There were times I was so mad at Andrei, I wanted to through my tablet lol. Andrei is a self-made billionaire. He is finally getting on with his life, after a nasty divorce. In walks Bridgit, who is interviewing to be his personal secretary. He is instantly drawn to her. Had he not learned his lesson? Bridgit was hopeful she'd get the job but knew she was in way over her head. She knew nothing about being a secretary. She's able to fumble through and when she gets her first paycheck, she wants to celebrate. She was not expecting to run into her hot, sexy boss. After a few drinks, one thing leads to another and they sleep together. Andrei makes it perfectly clear that they keep this out of the office. After months of sneaking around, she finds a woman at his penthouse. Bridgit doesn't give him a chance to explain, she just runs. Will Andrei be able to track her down? What will happen once Andrei learns of her secret?

Good pretty cute and hot romance
3.5
The romance is good, cute and hot, with well constructed characters, in particular, Bridgit who has the will to be carried out alone after what happened to her with her parents. However, I did not understand some of the choices made by the male hero, Andrei, especially when his ex-wife returned to New York.
Andrei is very attracted to Bridgit, the one who has just been hired to be his secretary, but he tries to resist. However, Bridgit has a complicated history with her family, penniless, she needs to realize herself, even if her brother helps her. When she gets closer to Andrei, she is afraid of falling back into a situation where she is no longer in control of her life. In addition, her outlook quickly changes when Andréi's ex-wife reappears, prompting her to make decisive choices for herself.

This is a new author for me and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The story line was great not the usual boss sleep with secretary and gets her pregnant story line. There are some great twists and turns. The characters were very realistic, I loved that Bridgette a pampered princess, was trying her best to learn skills and still continued to mess up. She was definitely not perfect. Andrei, the Russian boss was probably one of the nicest people you can meet, which leads to his ex wife Katya taking advantage of him. The supporting characters Gina and Stephen were wonderfully portrayed and you can't help but love them.
The authors writing is wonderful and you either love a character or hate them. I will be adding the author to my favorite author list, her writing is outstanding.

Knocked up by the Boss. Knocked Up by the Boss. This book was great! I enjoyed reading this book about two people meeting and falling in love in secret. Andrei hired Bridgit as his secretary on the say of his assistant not knowing why until later that she was hiding dark secrets. He couldn't keep his hands off her and fell for her totally. But drama lurked in the shadows of their relationship that caused Bridgit to flee. Bridgit's brother decided to help her make amends with Andrei and bring them back together because of the love they could not be without. A lovely romantic story worth reading.
