Sam Hunt is hell bent on making it on his own and stepping out of the shadows of his controlling and tyrannical family. But when Sam realizes that his father hired his former secretary, April Morgan, who quit on the spot after a slight run-in with his "fling of the week", Sam knows that something's not right. April is just another one of his father's pawns in one of his sick and twisted games.

However, April is on the fast track to success and has no interest in heeding Sam's warnings, even though he's been the leading man in many of her nightly fantasies; she's got a job to do, and she's going to do it. But when April realizes that Sam was right all along, she and Sam team up to take down their number one enemy: Sam's father.

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty standard "didn't know what he had" romance, with a nice family feud thrown in for added substance
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015

I don't know why but the introduction about April leaving after a nasty altercation with Sam's model fling drew me in and I had to read the book. I just re-read the intro blurbs on both Goodreads and Amazon and neither one of them say that so I must read this book out of pure confusion. Good thing it was worth the read.

Sam is a hard working alpha male who shunned his family money (sort of) and has dedicated himself to making his company a success, despite his father <spoiler> who sabotaged his first company and stole his fiance.</spoiler> He has never forgiven his father and their feud only gets worse as Sam's success grows. April has worked hard to scrape her way through college and overcome her less than stellar upbringing. Over the last six years April and Sam have worked together to build his company, all while April has been holding a secret torch for her playboy boss.

Now, April is ready to graduate college, the company is about to go public and Sam believes he has found the one. Unfortunately for April his 'one' is an aging model with an instant dislike for Sam's curvy executive assistant. After eavesdropping on Sam and his new model April quits in a snit. As soon as April walks out the door Sam realizes what he had and wants her back and not just at work...too bad she has been snatched up by his arch-nemesis. Sam's father has been out to get him for as long as Sam can remember, and now he has April.

I think what I liked most about this book was actually the interactions between April and Sam's father. He is an interesting character and it was nice to see the feud from both sides. I didn't particularly love either of the characters but they were both charming enough to carry the story and make it a worthwhile read. Plus I am always a sucker for a happy ending no matter how cheesy.

4.0 out of 5 stars NA Romance, standalone
Reviewed in Germany on December 29, 2017

Gut geschrieben, wenige Fehler, sympathisch und sexy. Nicht wirklich was neues, aber schön für zwischendurch.
Das einzige, was mir nicht gefallen hat, war das abrupte Ende im Epilog. Ein kleiner Cliffhanger, der aber nur die Hauptperson im nächsten Buch betrifft.
Kann ohne weiteres als standalone gelesen werden.

A great love story again with little enjoyable family rivalry between father and son which was solved by threads of love string of April!!! Just felt like trekking a mountain of excitement when Sam conveyed the message to his father!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting twist on the trope
Reviewed in Australia on February 16, 2020

Boss/assistant trope with a twist. Little bit of intrigue. Some steamy scenes. The writing didn't flow well for me, and the characters felt a little immature or underdeveloped, but I felt like it might've appealed more to a younger audience. All in all, not bad. Just not mind blowing. I've enjoyed another of this author's works (Devereaux Billionaires) more.
