The Boss

by Monica Belle

Felicity is a girl with two different sides to her There's Fizz - wild child, drummer in a retro punk band, and car thief. And then there's Felicity - a quiet, polite, and ultra efficient office worker. But as her attractive, controlling boss takes an interest in her, she finds it hard to keep the two parts of her life seperate. Will being with Stephen mean choosing between personas and sacrificing so much of her life? But then, it also appears that Stephen has some very peculiar and addictive ideas of his own.

Sex positive to the max. Felicity is a (literal) fucking legend. And I love the ending... men don't control our lives, WE do. Felicity lives her life by her own rules.

Highly recommended.

I actually quite enjoyed this book. Until I got to the end of the last chapter, which I found to be very disappointing and made me very angry and strangely hurt (I really do get into books.) I actually struggled to forget about the ending and in a way wished I had never started reading the book. Considering the book is "written by women, for women" I expected a bit more of a happier ending. Let's face it, what woman doesn't want a happy ending with the man of her dreams?

Aside from the ending I thought that there should have been more scenes with Felicity and her boss, Stephen English. Especially in the office. In my opinion she spent far too much time being naughty with the group of miscreants she hangs around with. While every detail is explained in a deliciously naughty way I would have liked to have seen much more of Felicity and Stephen's relationship grow. I feel like their time together was rushed. There could have been a bit more of a build up, seduction and a lot of sexual tension. It just all seemed to come out of nowhere.

The story line was reasonable, yet it made the book seem it was more about security cameras than a boss having his wicked way with his assistant.

A good but short read. I prefer longer books. Fun and rebellious. A good book for ladies who like living on the edge as Miss Felicity Cotton (aka Fizz) is also in a punk rock band called The Rubber Dollies and has a knack for stealing cars and setting them on fire.

Bottom line: It could have been better written. Although, Mr English really does know how to punish a girl and should compare notes with Christian Grey ;)

Having quite enjoyed one of this author's other books, I was looking forward to reading this. However, after the first few pages I decided that I intensely disliked the main character already and really didn't care what happened to her! So, with so many books to read and so little time, this one is travelling on without further ado.

i didnt really like how long winded this book was in a short period of time even though the flirting and the sex was good to a point but i also give the author credit for this book!
