My Favorite Boss

De: Melanie Moreland

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, John Lane

Get ready to laugh out loud in the office from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland

My new boss—Alexander Bane

Aptly named since he’s the bane of my existence.

Please isn’t in his vocabulary.

He grunts, growls, and demands.

If only he didn’t look so sexy when doing so.

If only his mouth weren’t so addictive when kissing mine.

He’s quickly becoming my favorite boss.

Which is wrong.

My new assistant is an unwelcomed distraction.

Snarky, witty, always smiling.

Constantly putting me in my place.

Making me second-guess my decisions.

I dislike it. Intensely.

Unless I’m kissing her.

Then Magnolia Myers becomes my favorite person.

Which I hate.

Two people working together, disliking each other.

Until they don’t.

Then the fun begins

HR has never been so entertained.

Author's note: For those on the lookout for a hero who's so charming when he's bossy that it makes you want to follow his orders just to keep him talking.

Cat Daddy

This Audiobook was funny and spicy! Magnolia is a sassy and smart assistant who isn't afraid of her boss, Alex's, grumpiness. He tried to deny his feelings only to fall hard for her. These two show how opposites attract.

Comical! Cutesy!

NARRATION
Type: Dual narration
Melanie Moreland narration adds the much need emotion for this character and it definitely made me feel like she was a friend telling me each and every detail of the gossip of her love life. John Lane narration took me a little to get into especially when he did the female voices (hehe).

STORY
FMC: Magnolia Myers
MMC: Alexander Bane
A comical story of a boss/assistant romance, this story was wonderful for the first half and then felt a little dragged threw the second half but it did get better. The situations through out the story had me giggling, the characters are amazing, and of its not as great as the first book BUT i liked this book as well. This is a carefree book that i used as a cleanser book between books and it definitely did the trick. I absolutely HATE pregnancies in books ughhhhh lol its a personal hate towards this trope or book situation.

Great story

I really like this story and it’s hard to find stories that are really good and straight to the point and the women aren’t crazy or gross

Laugh out loud and swoons💕

I absolutely love Maggie and Alex’s story, how they found their hea💜

Alex comes from old money, but doesn’t act like it, he’s very generous and caring, but doesn’t believe he’s capable of loving anyone. His mother is always putting him down and trying to get him to pair up with a social climber to improve his image.

Magnolia comes into his life as his personal assistant at his office and quickly turns his life around and quite hilariously turns his whole world careening into one HR misunderstanding after another!
He quickly realizes that he doesn’t want his quiet ordinary life anymore and craves his Maggie more and more every day.

The narrator’s voices were perfection 5 🎙️⭐️

“You were, you are, perfect for me."

Crossing the boundaries from professional to personal has never been as much fun as it is in My Favorite Boss. Bane and Magnolia light the pages on fire with their snarky banter and knack at finding themselves in inappropriate situations. Their story was an absolute delight and I absolutely loved their grumpy/sunshine dynamic.

Magnolia is such a ball of joy. She makes the best out of every situation and is unapologetically herself. Her snark and refusal to back down to her grumpy boss was so fun to read. Bane is grumpy, hard to please and absolutely obsessed with his new assistant. Underneath his rude comments and arrogant manner beats the heart of a softie. Magnolia helps him discover a side to himself that he never knew existed.

John Lane is perfect as the grumpy Bane and I loved his interpretation of this man that falls so hard for his assistant. Maxine Mitchell is always fantastic and she's exceptional as the sunshine that is Magnolia. I loved how these two narrated the audio and made me fall in love with this story all over again.

The sparks fly between Bane and Magnolia from their very first meeting and they just intensify with their every interaction. Add in an adorable kitten and laugh out loud office hijinks as well as a sweetly emotional story and you have another winner from this author. My Favorite Boss was sweet, spicy, heartwarming and a positively adorable read.

You see me 💙🥪

As soon as I saw the announcement for this audiobook, It became an anticipated listen of mine! I've been wanting to get into more of this author's audiobooks and that added even more to my excitement for it. I started listening to My Favorite Boss as soon as I could. Once I did, I couldn't stop listening to it! I had to finish it in one sitting. I really adored and enjoyed this audiobook oh so very much!

Having listened to both Maxine Mitchell and John Lane's narration many times before I was so happy that these two were the narrators for My Favorite Boss!

Magnolia and Mr. Bane - so much to love

Where to begin with this one? It has everything from witty banter to scenes that just have you laughing until your side hurts as readers meet Alexander Bane and Magnolia Myers. Mr. Bane is that boss that you do not want to work for due to his temperament and has a gift for relieving those assistants that do not meet his expectations. Magnolia is a woman who is looking for a new job and winds up interviewing for Mr. Bane. From their initial meeting, they are like oil and water as she brings the sunshine, and he is a grumpy sour puss. However, Magnolia is not one to back down from a challenge and her work ethic is stellar. Ms. Moreland has a gift for creating her characters that are so lifelike and integrating real life situations into her storylines which pull at the heartstrings and elicit a myriad of emotions. As an ebook, it is unputdownable. As an audiobook, it is Fantastic, and I stayed up all night listening to it as soon as it dropped. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell are two of my go to narrators and they hit it out of the park as they easily morph into these characters taking them to another level. From the vocal inflections to showcasing their quirks and mannerisms, this is one audiobook that should be in your library because you will want to listen to it over and over. I highly recommend this book and audiobook.
