I've got Meghan Quinn on my mind, so I thought I'd re-share my review for one of her older rom coms - the grumpy/sunshine, boss/assistant, wedding-related romance, Boss Man Bridegroom. I haven't been able to convince myself to dive into Quinn's newest, A Long Time Coming, yet(!), because friends to lovers drives me crazy 75%... Continue Reading →
SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: Final Offer by Lauren Asher
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we met this couple on the page together, I knew this love story was going to be something special. The TENSION snaps and crackles immediately, and it's obvious that there is both a lot of love and HURT between them. This (anti)hero is perhaps the most "broken" man I've ever rooted... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Fine Print by Lauren Asher
Such a great series! After reading and absolutely LOVING the second book in this series (one of my favorites of 2022), I decided to go back and start the series from the beginning. And I'm glad that I did! There's a lot to love about this office romance, from the strong and resilient heroine to... Continue Reading →
TOP 20 OF 2022: Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher
As 2022 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and Terms and Conditions is another book that lived up to the TikTok hype. It's a marriage of convenience/office romance that ended up being right up my alley, and I loved how the hero was in so over his... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Butt-Dialing the Billionaire by Annika Martin
I'm a big fan of the series, but this particular installment did absolutely nothing for me. One of the best parts about the series is that it's easy to pick up the books in any order and know that you're in for a super lighthearted, playful read with unpredictable moments and plenty of heat. Unfortunately,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Final Proposal by K. Bromberg 🎧
This was quick and bingeable, but ultimately a little unfulfilling. Bromberg is a one-click author for me, someone who delivers 5-star reads time and time again. So there was a lot of good stuff going on - some great sexual tension, an engaging meet cute, and a romance that mixes light and sexy moments with... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Doctor Untouchable by J. Saman
Once these two cross the line, they practically combust into flames - this is a smokin' hot installment to the series, one that is full of electric chemistry from start to finish. I jumped back into the series just in time for the conclusion, which was both easy to read as a standalone and also... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Owen North by Nina Levine
Leading with one of the most memorable meet cutes I've read was the PERFECT introduction to this new-to-me author's work. I'm jumping into the series with the final book, and I am just fine with that - this was easy to read as a standalone, and such steamy, tension-filled fun that it kept me turning... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: True North by JB Salsbury
Getting kneed in the balls is perhaps not the meet cute this good guy hero was hoping for, but it was an effective one! When a case of mistaken identity leads our heroine to take her frustration out on her evil boss's identical twin, neither one could've predicted where they'd end up later on. I... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Asher by Samantha Whiskey
Quick and steamy, this makes a great series starter, and a very solid introduction to this new-to-me author's work. I've been meaning to check out Whiskey for awhile now, so I jumped at the chance to start a new series - and the vibe sounded right up my alley. Which it was! This opposites attract... Continue Reading →

Workplace romance novels also feature popular tropes of every type, from enemies to lovers, billionaires, flings, fake relationships, forbidden boss/employee situations, and rivals romances.

BEST OF 2022 SO FAR: Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher
We're already halfway through 2022, so I'm taking the time to reflect back on my 15 favorite books of the year so far. Terms and Conditions is another book that lived up to the TikTok hype, and I'm eager to check out more from Lauren Asher. It's a marriage of convenience/office romance that ended up...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: By a Thread by Lucy Score 🎧
I love it when a guy finds himself in over his head within minutes of meeting the right girl, and that is definitely the case here! I finally made room at the top of my TBR for this girthy office romance, and it was well worth the wait. It's intensely sexy, banter-filled, and full of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Last on the List by Amy Daws 🎧
A sexy single dad who is a genuinely nice guy, but also kind of a possessive caveman? Yeah, that works for me! This hero steals the show with his combination of sweet and alpha/businessman and caveman, but I also loved the vibrant heroine who has unexpected sides of her own. The two make for a... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Once Upon an Island by Sarah Ready
Unfortunately, this was not a successful reading experience for me, which is really disappointing because I’ve enjoyed Ready’s work in the past. There are a million romance novels inspired by Pride and Prejudice, and I've read some pretty great ones. Getting the hero's personality just right is one of the major requirements, and this hero... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Matchmaking a Billionaire by Angela Denise
Exactly the light and sexy read that I was looking for! I read this writing duo's first book a few years ago, and I remember thinking that I'd have to check them out again once they got into a writing groove... and dropped the third person perspective. So I was delighted when I sampled this... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Shenanigans by Sarina Bowen 🎧
He's a hot billionaire hockey player AND super sweet? Too good to be true! I found myself really loving the hero at the heart of this Vegas wedding romance. While our heroine struggles with self-doubt and a lack of trust, this hero rises to the occasion and shows that he's worth fighting for. I'm still... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Doctor Heartless by J. Saman
Well this certainly takes the steam up a couple of notches! This starts out STEAMY and stays that way throughout, with palpable sexual chemistry sparking between these characters. For me, it was more of a sexual relationship than anything else, which left me feeling a little disconnected from their emotional relationship - but that makes... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
There was something missing for me, but this has all of the ingredients of a GREAT book - Grant's signature quirky humor, an unexpected pairing, a fake relationship scheme that quickly gets out of control, and a coldhearted billionaire who finally meets his match. I wanted to love it so hard, and I did enjoy... Continue Reading →
15 Bossy Billionaire Romance Books
Rich jerks are a huge trope in romance novels - heroes who might be a little moody, broody, and grumpier than the average guy. When I told my husband that billionaire romances are a common trope, he blinked and looked at me like he must've heard me wrong (you mean millionaires, right? Millions aren't enough?),... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher
Grumpy boss with feelings that run deeper than he wants to admit? Umm, yes please! I absolutely LOVED my first experience with this new-to-me author's work - the story gave me Spanish Love Deception/Love Hypothesis vibes, and that's honestly one of the highest compliments I can pay a book right now. This slow burning love... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Billionaire by Marni Mann
If you thought the first book in this series of interconnected standalones was STEAMY, well, this might've been even hotter. It's a scorching hot fling to more romance with a side of forbidden, age gap vibes. I didn't find either character even remotely relatable - they're rich, beautiful people with a very slow-to-burn emotional connection... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Cruel by Deborah Bladon
Low angst and bingeable in the best of ways, this billionaire romance is the kind of quick and sexy read that I love from Bladon. While the blurb had me thinking this was going to be a tense, darker read, it's definitely not that. The vibe is a little mysterious and a whole lot lighthearted,... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
A brand new rom com is on the way from Pippa Grant, and it's the perfect jumping in point for new readers. I'm currently reading my ARC copy, and I can tell you that this references past characters and books from the author, while still being a standalone and the start of something new. It's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Ticking Time Boss by Olivia Hayle
This was GREAT, the kind of easy, sexy romance that I love to binge in one sitting. I'm new to the series, and the first thing I did when I finished this was add the other interconnected standalones to my TBR - which tells you how much I enjoyed this. It was lighter and less... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Maverick Mogul by Lila Monroe
It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had a new rom com from Monroe… and I gobbled this one up in a couple of hours. Which, honestly, is how I’ve consumed most of her books. They’re like rom com movies come to life - reliably super low angst, playful, bingeable, steamy, and full of... Continue Reading →
