Teaching the Boss, Billionaires in the City, Book I
by Mallory Crowe
Star Rating: 5/5 stars
Blurb: Business-school student April Morgan is ready to graduate--from school, from the secretary pool, and from never-gonna-happen fantasies involving Sam Hunt, her hunky billionaire boss. But when Sam’s girlfriend of the week pushes her too far, April finds herself quitting on the spot with only a mountain of student loan debt to keep her company. In steps Sam’s worst enemy, his father, with a job offer she can't refuse.
Sam was born into privilege, but refused to live life with a silver spoon in his mouth. After a decade of hard work, he’s on the verge of taking his business public and proving to his tyrannical family that he can make it without their help. When he finds out that April is working for his father, he knows she’s been turned into a pawn in his father’s twisted games.
Despite Sam’s warnings, April is determined to prove she doesn’t need him to make in New York City. But when she finds documents that could lead to Sam losing everything he’s worked for, April realizes that she and Sam have to work together to save the empire they’ve both worked to build.
Grammar & Mechanics: 1/1 star
One of the cleanest self-published books I’ve read. Clearly, Mallory Crowe takes the quality of her work seriously. I couldn’t find any issues within this book. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling where flawless. Mechanics, flow, and technical aspects were on point. Beautiful editing.
Characterization: 1/1 star
April is a headstrong, well written female MC who owns herself. She’s relatable, refreshing, and delightful to read. At no point does she come across as a weak character, and I love that even though she isn’t in the same social status as her love interest, she doesn’t back down and take any of his crap.
Sam, the male lead, while labeled a play boy, is charming and well done. He doesn’t use April like we would expect someone in his position too, and from the beginning it is obvious his feelings for her are deep. He’s an alpha, but has enough sensitive traits to make him true and very swoon worthy.
The other characters that come into play all have their own personalities and back stories that are easily identifiable, and no two characters are the same.
Plot: 1/1 star
This story is a boss/employee romance done right. Each step through the plot is well thought out and written, and keeps you turning the page. There’s no holes or jumps, and there’s no info dumps. Even though these characters have known each other for years before the story begins, everything you need to know about their past is spread out and given at the right moment for a flawless layout from beginning to end.
Genre Inclusion (Romance): 1/1 star
April and Sam are beautifully written. Their romance is sweet at the right times, hot and heavy at the right times. Each character has power and weaknesses in their love story, bringing a wonderful feel of equality to their love. Neither is more important or more invested in the other, letting readers fall into the romance, and root for them from the very first page.
Overall Impression: 1/1 star
Amazing. Mallory Crowe is an author you will want to keep reading. I’ll be reading everything else she has out and keeping my eyes open for anything new she publishes in the future. She’s done so well with this book and is truly and indie author to keep tabs on!
