Bewitching the Boss

by Jessa Kane

I've been watching tech billionaire Byron DeWitt from afar for two years. Ever since that tragic night. Now I finally have my chance to meet him for real. Up close and personal. I've been hired to plan a Halloween party for his software firm, but I can barely keep myself from getting tongue tied in his intense presence. Byron has sworn off happiness or pleasure of any kind and his quiet suffering only draws me closer, turning up the dial on my obsession. But I never expected Byron's obsession to rival my own. For him to command me in ways I never realized I needed. When he finds out who I really am and where I was during that terrible evening two years ago, however, will our passionate inferno continue to build sky high? Or be doused by betrayal?

1 star because he didn't call her mommy

When I heard Jessa Kane wrote a book that basically switches the typical personalities of her main characters......

Meaning in here: heroine is the obsessed, experienced psycho and hero is a virgin with air for brains????

Ya'll I stumbled over my feet while running to download what I knew was about to be a masterpiece.



Technically I guess it's my fault because who in their right mind actually gets excited over Jessa Kane?

What I expected:
🦧 A completely inexperienced hero. If that man knows what a uterus means and where his penis is located, I DON'T WANT IT.

🦧 A heroine that completely dominates the hero in bed

🦧 Idk maybe TEACH HIM. I want the poor lad fumbling like a horny teenager, tripping over his own words and asking questions like "what's a clit?"

🦧 A quick, short story filled with more smut than plot

What I got:
🥱 I spent the first years of my official adulthood reading this woman's godforsaken daddy kink. When the one and only opportunity arises to have A MOMMY KINK that is sure to send me to my grave (finally), she chooses some measly nickname like "princess"???

🥱 The hero was inexperienced for a total of 3 seconds then he started calling her a dirty whore. Honey I can choose all the 1 million other novellas with degradation, this is not what I signed up for.

🥱 She DID actually teach him to get her off. He picked it up immediately and gave her an orgasm on the first try🤡

🥱 This had a "plot" and like......actual mystery n stuff

that just means a little over a 100 pages of boredom

🥱

"I hope you don't mind me saying that you're more complicated than roses."
I knew it. He senses something about me.
Something twisted.

...........😐😐😐.........

GIRL IF YOU DON'T GET-

All in all:
I'm sad. I should probably rethink just how ridiculous I expect these novellas to be:(

What is with everyone changing their formula????
this was bad
experienced heroine with virgin hero and she was the one obsessed and doing all the chasing. He came across as a fumbling teenager.
JK literally switched the povs in this one. The heroine sounded like a man.

4.5 stars-a nerdy H that’s a v, a stalking h, and an H that’s alpha in the sheets? Yess

Honestly, this is feuding as one of my top Jessa Kane reads!

Jane is 23 and has been stalking Byron for two years now. For me, it was refreshing to see the h as the stalker 👀 (normally, the H is the stalker, which I loooove, but this was a nice change). Jane is working for Byron by helping him plan a Halloween party for his employees. As soon as he sees her, he becomes the nerdy, clumsy man he is- spilling coffee because she’s so beautiful and he doesn’t know what to do. He’s 32 and a v- but that doesn’t mean he’s not a huge, muscular, tall handsome man.

He lost his sister to a drunk driver years before and he feels guilty that he’s continued living while she’s dead, another reason why he hasn’t indulged in carnal urges☹️. But those feelings go out the door when he meets Jane👀.

Jane’s not a virgin (shocker😬- I know- JK’s h’s tend to be virgins), but she’s remained celibate ever since she started stalking Byron (it’s refreshing ha? 🤣). There are *reasons* she’s been doing this, and even though they finally meet face-to-face, she doesn’t stop stalking him.

As soon as they see each other, sparks fly everywhere. It’s definitely insta-love on Byron’s part, but that doesn’t mean the connection they feel is any less. It’s visceral, raw, passionate and palpable 🔥🥵just like any JK book. Byron might’ve been a nerdy v before meeting Jane, but make no mistake- he transforms into a dirty🔥 talking 🫠Alpha in the sheets 💦🔥😅🥵. He knows what Jane needs, and she knows what he needs as well 👏🏻.

I loooove that he made sure to balance the combination of dirty smexy times to loving, sweet ones. Yes, he calls her some smutty names, but she craves every second of it. And the way his possessive side comes out was so delicious 🤤. Pleasing her is his main focus😮‍💨, and I was here for it all 👀👏🏻.

We get some biting, breath play, marking (hickeys), spanking (both sides down below and on the two mounds up above), primal, and my favorite- he STALKS/SPIES back 👏🏻😅🔥. Gahhhh. I loved it.

What would’ve made it better for me is some babies in the future; Maybe we’ll get an extended epilogue 👀.

I love this one. Another comfort reread. I’m convinced that Tessa Bailey is Jessa Kane. I’m right. I know it.

—

”You want me to say it out loud? Get it out in the open? Fine. You’ve been stalking me.” He turns me over to face him, lifting my chin in a firm hand and those green eyes, oh man, they are like hooks sinking into my heart, immobilizing me. “Good. Keep doing it.”

—

“Jane’s car is parked in front of me and I glance into the backseat as I pass, finding a collection of belongings I thought I’d misplaced. A blue necktie, a comb, one of my dress shirts. I’m not jarred or surprised. Why would I be? I’m living with my stalker. She’s my girlfriend. And I fucking love it.”

Unhinged stalker heroine and hero who doesn’t give a fuck. Yes ma’am. 🤌🏼

[CHAMPAGNE · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 smutty ✨obsessive stalker✨ stars

I’m not jarred or surprised. Why would I be? I’m living with my stalker. She’s my girlfriend. And I fucking love it.

Jessa Kane have been exploring and sticking to the same shtick lately, and they're all the same but it's not really annoying. Daddy Kink, Stalker fetish and some kind of Exhibitionism is what her normal has become.

Virgin girl, stalker dude, Kinky outdoor sex or around other people and a lot of “Daddy”s.

What's interesting about this book is how all of that is reversed: Virgin dude, stalker girl but the same kinks.

I’m not only infatuated with Byron DeWitt to the point that I stalk him like it’s my job.

But oh! New kink unlocked: “Humiliation and Degradation” which I was honestly here for, gotta say, pretty hot 👀

“Maybe that piece of shit wouldn’t have hit on you if you didn’t leave the house today dressed like an expensive whore.”
Her cunt clamps down around me so hard, I struggle through a breath.

This book had a kind of plot, which she doesn't usually do. The heroine is dealing with a lot of guilt and she soothes that by being humiliated during sex. The hero is also dealing with survivor's guilt and he punishes himself by shutting out all pleasures of life. He doesn't like her kink, but indulges her.

The heroine saw the hero during an event and she's been stalking him ever since, she's been plotting their meet cute, watching him through binoculars, the whole shabang. She's possessive and jealous, what's nice is she's experienced which is new for Kane.

If he’s with a woman, I’ll kill her.

After seeing the heroine tho, the hero no longer had any will power to keep his oath. And they end up doing it for the remainder of the book.

“You want me to say it out loud? Get it out in the open? Fine. You’ve been stalking me.” He turns me over to face him, lifting my chin in a firm hand and those green eyes, oh man, they are like hooks sinking into my heart, immobilizing me. “Good. Keep doing it.”

This doesn't end with them having thirteen kids or whatever, they were too obsessed with each other for kids. It was 🔥 if you're into JK, kinda creepy but it grows on you 😳. This was also Halloween themed, so yea. It supplied a lot od steam and spice, I loved it 🙃.

[Azet · Rating 4 out of 5]

OH YES,FINALLY! A New Keeper by Jessa Kane without ANY DADDY KINK! Ah my ghad this is my lucky day!

I have nothing against a experienced heroine,neither that Jane had been obsessed about him and had been stalking him for a time.Byron becomes equally obsessive himself after he first sees her,so its fine by me.I loved one quote from him: "Be my wife or I’ll die. Say you’ll marry me.”

Ah,that is powerful!

[Reading with Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Guess I was the only one who enjoyed this😂😂😂

In my defence, I find it refreshing whenever the heroine takes charge and do the pursuing (ofc this only applies to Heroes who deserves it)And JK's heroes never disappoints.

JK need to write more possessive heroines, this was such a refreshing take compared to her other books where the characters generally have the same background.

I would take a Virgin Hero over a virgin heroine any day.

[Rain · Rating 4 out of 5]

What's this?! JK book without daddy kink?!!! I enjoyed this somewhat darker, complete reversal of the normal JK storyline. In this one, the h does the stalking and the H is the virgin! But hey, we're still blessed with timeless, classic lines like this.

“If I could rip my heart out and show you how hard it beats for you, I would do that. But I only have this,” I say, drawing down the zipper of my pants and freeing my cock.

And this just sounds exhausting.

I do an hour of Kegels every night so I’ll give him maximum pleasure if he ever needs me.

Is this the new bar we're setting? An HOUR? I would lose focus and soon I'd be thinking about my grocery list, or seeing cat hair on the carpet and wondering how long it's been since I've vacuumed the living room.

What was the author thinking when she wrote this? This book was like a middle finger to her core fan base, not cool JK!

0.25✯

°Virgin hero/non virgin heroine - I hate this combo 😒
°Switching POVs
°He's 32, she's 23
°Heroine celibate after meeting the hero
°Free of OW/OM drama
°No cheating
°Push/pull from both
°The heroine was cringy af, calling him "baby", saying "mine" and chasing him ughh
°No intimate scenes with OP
°Very mild humiliation kink
°Epilogue: 3 years later - They're married and decided not to have children. Usually this is something I hate but honestly I didn't care about either of the MCs so fact that they didn't have kids didn't bother me, it seemed fitting for the story to have such a shitty and boring ending.

[Kimmylongtime · Rating 5 out of 5]

In 84’ Rockwell said it best !

“I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me and I have no privacy.”

Now let’s get to the nitty gritty and this time we are starting with a quote again.

“Can we talk somewhere privately?” Yes. I want to crawl to him. Tell him I’ll follow him anywhere. But I can’t forget that frisson of alarm I felt yesterday, after we made love. This isn’t a man who needs to feel jealousy. This isn’t a man who is intimate in public or calls his bed partner a whore. Or a slut. And yes, I loved it. I love him calling me those names. I begged him to. It makes me feel naughty and hot. Like I was built with one purpose—his pleasure. But it also gives me the punishment, the shame I deserve, and he doesn’t even know he’s delivering it. That isn’t fair. I’m not being fair by seeking that glorious humiliation from him. He should be with someone who is mentally healthy. I’d probably murder her in her sleep, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. -47%

This book may be too much for some but our main character Jane is hiding a serious secret. She is stalking Byron !! I mean in a way you’ve probably never seen since the TV show You. She’s watching him swim, smelling his clothing, sipping bottles in his fridge. The girl is absolutely Bonkers. But honey when I say I was hooked from page 1.

It is rare to find a book where the woman is the stalker and she’s good at it. Jane is not desperate or clingy she’s a business woman and she’s got so much sex appeal I was afraid Byron’s eyes would set on fire.

Unfortunately, because this story is soo short I can’t say much or I will give away major plot twist that you need to reveal for yourself. Mama didn’t raise no snitch!!! so that means you have to go out and read this lovely little number on your own.

This is a different brand of JK kink but it’s one we still go crazy for !! Give it a chance if you don’t normally enjoy the daddy and age play you will love this. They are of similar age and all characters can support themselves.

I hope if you give this a chance you write a fancy review so I can see your thoughts.

Happy reading everyone 😘😍🥰😍!!

This one was a reverse of usual jessa, SHES the stalker and HES the virgin. And there’s no breeding kink. really switching it up this time jessa and i like it

[Céloise · Rating 3 out of 5]

3☆ A break from Daddy 🫡

I like the reversals, and want more Jessa with less Daddy. But the h’s internal voice was aggravating in this one, and the way the backstory drama played out was a bit lame. A fortune teller? Random. And while there was too much debating about the shame stuff, the dirty smut be dirty smutting.

“I love you to the point of madness.”

“Bewitching the Boss” is the story of Jane and Byron.

Meow! A reverse v card with an insanely obsessed and stalkery heroine, an innocent hulk of a confused hero, loads of possessiveness- then bilateral stalking, drama- dirty talk- kink and a non conventional HEA with grade A anal.

Jessa Kane never disappoints.

Safe
4/5

Well I loved this. When Jessa Kane writes books like this, those are always my favorite. All these 1 star reviewers are really disappointing me. But this book and Jessa definitely did NOT. 5 stars for this. Write ALL your books like this one, Jessa.

“You’ve fucked me up and made me crazy. Now you’re going to live with the consequences.”

Man, sometimes Jessa Kane just hits all the right notes for me and this is one of those times. It’s somehow sweet and loving plus super hot. Both characters are crazy stalkers and I love it! Her stalker series is one of my favorites.

The sex is rough and degrading. He’s super into aftercare without even knowing what it is. Plus we have a male virgin? This is so good. You simply have to read it. I’ll be rereading it sooner rather than later.

4.8 stars.
This book completely wrecked me.
Not only did it have the classic Jessa Kane filth, and utter depravity that I’ve come to expect and love, but it was also so heartbreaking and emotional that I was basically sobbing.

This took the degradation kink and one, understood the assignment, but two, made it so sad and emotional that it basically broke me.

Filthy, and unhealthy, and completely obsessed to the point of madness, and beautiful beyond means.

I just can’t. This was gritty, dirty perfection.

Now if you’ll excuse me. I need laughs to get over my mini breakdown. And a cold shower. And a change of clothes.

Holy fuck.

Nope nope nope doesn't work for me. Completely let down by JK. I start reading a JK book with the reassurance of the heroine being a Virgin (it's a big deal for me). But today it is lost. DNF

“You’ve fucked me up and made me crazy. Now you’re going to live with the consequences.”

Did I just read a Jessa Kane book that didn't have a daddy kink??



And I loved every second. I'm definitely down with this stalker-fetish. Especially these OTT ones. They are just so wrong, that they are right.

Oh, but don't worry babes she still brings the kink. This times it's a shaming-kink.

“You want to be my whore in bed, that’s fine. I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t make me hard. But when we’re not in bed, you need to know you’re my princess.”

And instead of our virgin heroine, we have a virgin tech geek hero. Once again, don't worry because he finds his alpha instantly.

This books gives you everything we love about JK.....OTT instalove, outdoor/public sex for everyone to see/hear, crazy jealousy characters, stalker-fetish. But just take out the the "Little Girl" nickname and replace it with "Little Slut" and enjoy!

“For every time I fuck you like a high-class escort, Jane, I’m going to make love to you.”

4.5 stars. Listen, I'm as surprised as you are. I don't want to talk about it. I read Jessa Kane books as chaotic palate cleansers between other books, so color me fucking shocked with this one turned out to be actually kind of good? (That was painful to say.)

Jane is a party planner hired by Byron, a tech billionaire in Silicon Valley. Byron's sister died years ago in a car crash, and surprise surprise, Jane was tangentially involved. So she's been stalking him ever since and finally wiggled her way into his life. He ends up becoming equally obsessed with her, and I think this was the first time I've read a mutual stalking situation--which I wasn't mad about.

The degradation was actually pretty great, and praise was used here as a form of aftercare, which was adorable. I also noticed an absence of daddy/little girl kink--which I also wasn't mad about lmfao.

This is probably the closest I've gotten to giving Jessa Kane 5 stars, but there are simply some things I CANNOT look past:
- Jane does an HOUR of kegels every night to keep herself tight
- She refers to his 🍆 as a "torpedo in his pants."
- He calls her a "hot, little tramp." (this one just made me cackle)
- "You're going to cream up my dick"
- "The fat male flesh swelling between his legs." BYE

This is a great, cute, steamy Halloween read! I liked the typical gender-role swap in this book, in that the heroine is the obsessed and experienced one. That said, the gender-role reversal was dropped pretty early on in the story.
I loved the heroine’s angsty backstory and the secret she was keeping from the hero, though the reveal was far too rushed for my liking.

This book has its good spots but it isn't for me sadly. I thought I would really enjoy it because I loved Tripping on a Halo by Alessandra Torre (as a matter of fact, a friend tagged it a "similar book") but I didn't. The writing felt choppy and amateur at best and the run-on sentences left me confused sometimes. Not to mention the utterly unbelievable storyline. I was ready to brave it till the end but I could practically predict the end by 50%.
