Francesca 'Frankie' Masseria belongs to a large family
belonging in the restaurant business. Despite her ability
to handle customers and expectations that she will enter
the family business, Frankie dreams of being the best
glamourous PA to the top business executive. She lands
her dream job under Coburn Grant but when she is
transferred to work with Harrison Grant, it's like fast
forwarding her dream by five years. But Harrison is
notorious for his ability to go through his PAs before
Tessa, who tamed the beast. Worried about being fired,
Frankie aims to anticipate her boss's every need to
negate their disastrous first meeting. Only problem is
that he leaves her flustered with an attraction blooming
between them almost impossible to ignore.
The only thing on Harrison's mind is revenge against the
man who almost destroyed their business and in process
killed his father. Victory is within his grasp therefore
he cannot afford any distractions especially from one
attractive brunette who not only appeals to him
physically but so does her intelligence and compassion.
Will he give in to the attraction and give up on the
revenge which is eating up his soul and alienating
everyone who loves him?
TEMPTED BY HER BILLIONAIRE BOSS is a light summer read.
Ms. Hayward has tried to make it heavier thanks to
Harrison's obsession with revenge but it does not quite
pull the punch. Harrison is more obsessed with family
legacy and revenge despite knowing his father was sick
before the whole incident happened; something his brother
seems to understand better than him. Then there is over
emphasis on the stunning looks of Harrison and Frankie.
Their love sounds more based on lust and looks rather
than their personalities. They do connect on some level
but there are times their romance feels forced especially
with Frankie's ambitions but at other times it feels they
do care about each other. An example would be one of her
last thoughts after their HEA was that if the stars
aligned, she could be the president's wife. Ummmm... Made
me wonder at that point, did she really love him for him
or what he may represent despite the moments she
jeopardized her career to get through to him.
The first read through of TEMPTED BY HER BILLIONAIRE boss
is thoroughly enjoyable even though I did not exactly see
what made people become besotted with Frankie apart from
her stunning looks on first meeting or trust her. Did she
heal the beast? Again Harrison is not exactly a beast but
yes she did manage to make him understand that revenge is
not always the answer. The will he/will he not run for
Presidency had an anti-climactic ending for me. The
infamous adversary Harrison wanted revenge on somehow
made me more curious about him than anything when he
finally made an appearance. Despite constant mention of
how unfeeling, unremorseful and creep Markovic was, I
might be wrong on my speculations, but I found it to be
an exaggeration for some reason. Compared to her Society
Wedding series, something felt missing in TEMPTED BY HER
BILLIONAIRE BOSS. Still this is fun feel good story for
all the fans of Ms. Hayward and I look forward to reading
Coburn's story.
The ultimate forbidden attraction
Francesca Masseria is mortified. On her first day working
for renowned tycoon Harrison Grant, she accidentally hits
the panic button and watches in horror as security puts
her
boss in handcuffs! Normally poised and efficient,
Harrison's
enigmatic presence leaves Francesca flustered.
Harrison is furious. He can't afford any distractions with
a
high-stakes deal on the table, and his new assistant is as
diverting for her beauty as her incompetence! He should
fire
her, but she's determined to make up for their disastrous
meeting by anticipating his every need. Except, what
Harrison's beginning to want from Francesca isn't part of
her job description!
