The Boss
The Boss is a STANDALONE, steamy, single-mom, workplace romance.
What happens when two people on completely different spectrums are thrust together at a time in their lives when they both want what the other has? Fate? Or will the pasts they both want to forget, but come back to haunt them, spell disaster?
Rosalie
Being a single mom was never an aspiration of mine, but after being betrayed by my long-term boyfriend and dropped like a bad habit just one month after giving birth, I'd like to think I am handling it fairly well. Finding out Julian was autistic was another blow I hadn’t anticipated. For years, I have scraped by trying to provide for my son and a family that needs me. Things suddenly take a turn in my favor when I land a prestigious job with the new pediatric surgeon in town. Unfortunately, after only one meeting, I realize that Dr. Damon Russo is the kind of man I have always yearned for. Handsome, dominant, confident - the kind of man that can make the hard choices, to tell me what my body craves and fulfill my every need without me having to spell it out for him. The kind of man that can perform, without hesitating, all of the fantasies I am too ashamed to admit for fear of judgement and ridicule. I'm woefully inexperienced and in way over my head.
I can’t work for this man.
Damon
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to pick up and move away from the life I had lived for over a decade. It had been a whirlwind of willing women, wild parties, and secret clubs. When I realized none of that was making me happy anymore, and I began to wish for a more simplistic life, something deeper, something meaningful, I knew I needed to get out. The first time I meet my new assistant, I know I'm screwed. It’s like she purposefully makes her entire being as sweet and innocent as possible, knowing a degenerate like myself can’t help but want to corrupt her with the dirtiest things imaginable. My willpower to keep a distance from my forbidden assistant is quickly waning. I know I should stay professional, and I know I have no business coveting someone so pure and perfect. I also know I am having a really hard time caring anymore about the reasons I should stay far away from Rosalie. Throwing caution to the wind, I decide to shoot my shot with her. Who knows, maybe she will want to indulge in a little excitement of her own.
I would gladly provide her all of that and more.
Unfortunately, our pasts don't seem as eager to let us go as we are to leave them behind. When playing becomes real, and no-strings get complicated, can I finally learn to let go when he asks, "Do you trust me, Sweetheart?"

Hot & Steamy
This book had a Fifty Shades of Grey feel without too much of the BDSM scene. It definitely gave off the warm and fuzzy vibe. I was only a few pages in and was already attached to the characters. I loved how Damon is always protective of Rosalie without being too overbearing. I loved how the author incorporated a child with disabilities without the stigma that usually comes along with that. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching the scenes unfold. The author did a great job for the imagery from this book and bonus it was set in Texas! The one thing I could have gone without is the whole backdoor stuff. That’s just a total turnoff for me.

Rendered speechless
As a single mom of two children this book wrecked me in the best way! Both my children aren’t on the spectrum but this book depicted what a child on the spectrum would look like. Julian is the best little boy. Damon is also the best daddy for him. Rosalie is a rockstar of a mom and deserves all the happiness in the world. This single mom romance was phenomenal and beautifully written. The Oakwood Park girls series is a must read! I can’t wait till the next one comes out!

This book was a little different for me. I pride myself in writing about Heroes that are real and good and just what my Heroines need, but when I asked myself what Rosalie needed, I knew it would be something unexpected. Rose is a lifelong good girl with minimal experiences and a tough hand in life. So what would someone that has had to shoulder every responsibility thrown her way with strength and grace yearn for? Release. Inhibition and excitement that was never afforded to her. Damon is dark and depraved with a sordid past that he struggles to leave behind. I wanted to explore the limits and expectations put on us as women and mothers, and blow them all to smithereens. I wanted to show that no matter what we look like on the outside, we are all struggling with the same pains and insecurities. We are all flawed in some way, but we are all worthy regardless. I hope that this book is a way for men and women to see that no matter what we struggle with, be it a life we were dealt or a life we chose, we can always change our stars. And we can have a heck of a lot of fun doing it.
Happy Reading fellow book nerds!
Love,
Vic
