5/5
Dirty Boss is sexy, sweet, and sensual. The story was well-written and I had a hard time putting it down. Dirty Boss had tropes similar to other books but so much better. I like where Crystal Kaswell placed the one-stand stand in the book. It made it so much more intense.
This is the third book I’ve read by Crystal Kaswell and with each book I get more and more impressed with her ability to write characters that are unique, flawed, and likeable. Lizzy’s fears are palpable and her worldview understandable with what she has experienced. Her wit and dark sense of humor are a wonderful addition to the story. The control that Nick expects is what they both need. I loved seeing both of them grow and learn to trust each other throughout.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. I liked it so much I ended up buying it. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Favorite Quotes:
- “This isn’t casual anymore, is it?” “No, it’s not.”…”You think we’re at business casual or all the way at black tie?”
- I certainly never expected love to bring tears to my eyes. It’s not bullshit. It’s fucking real. It’s possible. Real love is possible.
- “You’re sweeter than you let on.” “Don’t tell anyone…It will ruin my image.” (I’ve said this many, many times!)
- Love sucks. It makes you a bitch.
- Tension threatens to consume my back. The moment Nick presses his palms into my skin, my muscles relax. Fucking body. Why can’t they thing respect my wishes?
