A Very Bossy Christmas by Kayley Loring
Release Date: October 26th 2020
Pages: 255
Genres: Romance, Contemporary, Holiday
What’s the actual last thing you’d ever want your executive assistant to see you doing the morning after you had hot, drunk, angry sex with her in a terrible hotel room? Dancing around your terrible hotel room to “Come and Get Your Love” like Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy—naked? Yeah. Me too.
And yet, here we are.
This isn’t even the most unprofessional thing that’s happened between us in the past couple of weeks.
The first was when I agreed to let her have Christmas Day off, but only if she goes with me to three family gatherings as my fake girlfriend.
The second was when she caught me belting out a Christmas song on stage in the awful hotel bar.
The third was the hot, drunk, angry sex that followed, but I do not regret it.
And she hasn’t even found out the real reason I need her by my side this holiday season.
I need to pull it together before I do the dumbest, most unprofessional thing of all—fall head over heels in love with the only assistant who’s lasted more than a month at the job and claims to hate me and my moods more than she hates eggnog.
And I’ve seen how much she hates eggnog.
My Review:
In the story we get to meet, Maddie Cooper, executive assistant to Declan Cannavale, a in-house lawyer for a real estate firm. Her life revolves around his busy schedule as he works all the time, but Christmas is coming and she really wants to spend it with her family. But the only way to be with her family is if she goes to three of his family gatherings as his fake girlfriend. This shocks her at first, but after spending so much time together, she accepts his offer. It’s when they cross the line between them that things quickly start to get complicated and she is at risk of losing her heart in the process.
I absolutely loved the chemistry between the characters, it’s playful and sweet. Maddie is good at her job keeping Declan in line and he finds her to be the best assistant he’s ever had. It’s because of that, that Declan doesn’t hesitate in asking her to be his fake girlfriend. But there is so much more that he is not completely being honest about and that could threaten any type of future they might want to have. I loved the secondary characters, they made the story that much better and sweeter. The ending was swoon worthy and overall it was a great read. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for an early Christmas book. :)

My Rating:
Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.
