Her Bully Boss

Coldwater, Michigan

De: Ashlea Ryan

Narrado por: CC Kline

She was supposed to be temporary…but he’s never been good at letting go of what’s his.

Fallon Phillips needed this job. Too bad her new boss is Xavier Carter…ruthless, impossible to please, and completely uninterested in making her life easy. As CEO, he runs his company with sharp precision, and the last thing he needs is a too-cheerful blonde temp disrupting his perfectly ordered world.

From the moment she spills coffee on his expensive suit, Xavier is determined to make her quit. He drowns her in impossible tasks, sharp quips, and his signature withering glare. But Fallon isn’t easily broken. She meets every challenge with grit and a maddening smile, refusing to let the grumpy CEO scare her away.

What starts as irritation shifts into something else when Xavier catches himself watching over her…correcting anyone who speaks to her the wrong way, shutting down office gossip with a single look, and making sure she never stays late alone.

His protectiveness grows before he can stop it, and soon, Fallon isn’t just another assistant…she’s a distraction, a temptation, and the one woman who refuses to fear him.

He wanted her gone. Now, he doesn’t know how to let her go.

whirlwind romance

Fallon changes the workplace forever. She has Xavier acting differently. Competition and jealousy leave a challenging workplace. This was a charming story of enemies to lovers that kept me invested and rooting for the boss and the temp. Can Fallon set things to rights. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Grumpy CEO. Temp with bite. One slow burn you won’t forget.

Grumpy CEO meets his match in the temp he can’t stop tormenting or protecting. Xavier is all sharp edges and brooding silence, but Fallon’s presence at his company ignites a slow-burn tension that simmers into something irresistible. Classic “he’s only nice to her” vibes, enemies-to-lovers deliciousness, and workplace sparks that fly in every direction.

If you love a romance where the banter bites and the chemistry builds, this one delivers. Fallon holds her own, and watching Xavier unravel is half the fun.

Narration by CC Kline is, as always, top-tier. Her delivery brings every snarky exchange and tender moment to life. Huge thanks to CC Kline for the review copy!
