Don't Quit the Day Job

The Annoying Hot Bosses Club, Book 1

De: J.S. Cooper

Narrado por: Josie Vargas, Lucas Dixon

Dear Grumpy Horrible Boss,

You suck as a lawyer. I don't even know how you passed the bar. Or how you sleep at night taking clients like Jack Whittington.

Just in case you didn't know, you can't fire me just because I have a part-time job working bachelor parties. What I do on the weekend is none of your business and not a part of my employment contract. If I want to go back to wearing coconut bikinis and popping out of cakes, I can.

As soon as I get my big break as an actress, I will be leaving your employ. I am literally counting down the days. You must be dreaming if you think I'm going to be working from 6 am to 9 pm for the next month just so you won't report me to HR. Go ahead and report me.

See if I care, Mr. Wannabe hotshot playboy lawyer. You're not that hot, and I do not want you.

Also, stop emailing me at night with lists of to-dos.

Your not-very-well-paid assistant,

Lila Haversham

Lila,

I hope you can count to infinity because that's how many more days you're going to be working for me. If your acting is as good as your dancing, you're not going to be making it anytime soon.

Five words of advice: Don't quit your day job.

Your very well-paid and handsome boss,

Max Spector

P.S. You've been given a new phone, so we can communicate via text instead of email. Or, if you'd rather, we can communicate from my bed. I'd rather not christen that blowup mattress again.

P.P.S. I think your actions in the shower at the gym tell another story about how much you do or do not want me... care to drop the soap again?

Disappointing

So the storyline held so much promise and I really was looking forward to it. Everything was there: plot, solid characters, narrators (the male narrator actually sold me on the book!). But the dialogue is so immature it’s just ridiculous. I can’t even. I felt like I was in middle school with these characters. There really needs to be a leveling up of the game for this author. This book held so much greatness, and I’ve seen that in some of her other books too, but they’re falling flat. Just really a bummer.

eh

didn't enjoy the female narrator...I won't be getting the second book..because it's the same voice.

ADORABLE MEET CUTE!!

Favorite Quote – “If I were to offer you money for one night,” he says softly, grabbing my hand and running a finger down my palm. “I’d offer you a billion dollars because I’d want to change to your life as much as you were about to change mine.”

narrator is terrible !!

I had a hard time finishing this book, because the narrator was so bad. Sorry

Not worth the hype

I originally became interested in this book from an ad on my FB feed that dragged me in. You know the saying that something didn't do it justice? Well, let's just say that ad did it too much justice. The scene where she's dancing and pops out of the cake doesn't even happen in the book the way it was advertised online. The story went on and on without saying much, and the MFC got stupider as the book went on. Part of it was the narrator and the childish/ditzy voice she used for her, but jumping up and down chanting "yes, yes, yes, I will, will, will, marry you" after he proposes reminded me of my 6 year old. This book wasn't worth the hype or the credit used to read it, and there are so many issues and annoyances I had with it, I'm not exactly sure why or how I finished it. I also don't want to spend the time writing them all out...maybe I'll come back later once I've processed a bit more to share all the reasons you should skip reading this book.
