El multimillonario y su asistente embarazada (Los multimillonarios McClellan)

McClellan Billionaires #1

by Leslie North

El multimillonario Connor McClellan tiene un arma Rosalie Bridges. Cada vez que Connor persigue a un cliente potencial, Rosalie lo acompaña y se hace pasar por su novia. Pero, después de la última reunión, que terminó con una noche apasionada entre los dos, ella no le atiende el teléfono… y ahora él la necesita más que nunca para ganarse a un cliente importantísimo. Desde hace años que Rosalie está loca por su jefe, un hombre increíblemente sexy . Pero, después de que por fin se acostaran juntos, él quiere que sigan teniendo una relación profesional y ella ya está harta de que la use. Y un test de embarazo que acaba de dar positivo complica aún más las cosas. Ahora que Connor está desesperado por cerrar el trato comercial y que Rosalie ya no está dispuesta a seguirle la corriente con ese noviazgo de mentira, va a ser necesario llegar a otro tipo de acuerdo. Si lo logran, quizá no solo consigan un gran negocio, sino también un amor para toda la vida.

Not Much To Base A Relationship On

First of all bargaining to be his girlfriend in exchange for being considered for a promotion she's the most qualified candidate for is at minimum sexual harassment, more likely sexual discrimination and pretty much makes me dislike him from the get go.

He ignores her, holds her back from promotions she deserves for his own personal gain, doesn't even have the care for her to send his own flowers and expects her to tumble into bed with him regardless while he continues to treat her like crap outside of the bedroom. Definitely not my idea prince charming.

Honestly, the "hero" of the story has all the characteristics of what is normally the bad breakup before the leading lady meets the hero of the romance novel.

The guy is a jerk and Rosalie deserves better. Being attractive with a large bank account isn't what make a romantic hero. The poor guy struggling to pay his bills who might have a receding hairline and a beer gut, but listens to your every word and does his best to help you achieve your dreams and consider your feelings in every decision he makes is a hell of a lot more attractive than a rich guy who basically treats you like a possession to have sex with and make him look good.

Romance, real romance, is about what's inside not all those external shallow things like looks and money and North completely missed that point with this story.

Being the fake girlfriend for your boss............What can go wrong???

The Billionaire’s Pregnant Assistant is a great start to a the new series by Leslie North of the McClellan brothers, who are billionaires.
This book is the story of Connor and Rosalie. Connor is the CEO of McClellan Technology Group and is smart and very personable. But he has one major issue - he cannot remember the names of his client's. Rosalie is feisty, smart, organized and keeps things running for Connor. She also is able to cover for him when he messes up with names so he has come to rely upon her a lot. He also takes it for granted that she will pose as his girlfriend when meeting important clients or potential clients.
He needs her again but she has a much different attitude towards him than she used to and is not willing to play his fake anything. It seems the last time they did this they ended up between the sheets and the next morning he acted like nothing had happened. Plus add in the fact that she was left with a parting gift in the form of being pregnant, which she did not tell him as she figured he did not want her. He now has some decisions to make and Rosalie is not going to make it easy for him. Does he want to get married and be a father? Will she want him or not?

Leslie North has once again written and fun, entertaining, engaging and interesting story with great characters. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

The Billionaire’s Pregnant Assistant (McClellan Billionaires #1) by: Leslie North  
 
 
Mixing business with pleasure has naughty results. The Billionaire's Pregnant Assistant is tad obvious when it comes to the plot, but Connor and Rosalie don't let that stop the electricity that radiates from their attraction. North is master at writing delicious romance.

Not giving stars because some of this is that this a trope/set-up I don’t tend to like as much as others. Wanted to note in goodreads that I read this.

I’ve read and really enjoyed other books by Leslie North - but this did not work for me at all. Connor is single-minded, self-centered, and pretty much an ass. Rosalie puts up with his crap for way too long. When she *finally* gets around to standing up for herself and quits (him & the job) - she relents a hot second later because of his single apology and some flowers. Then *boom* proposal accepted. The end. It felt like Rosalie was nothing more than another business deal Connor had to win, just for the sake of winning.

I think what was so disappointing was that I really liked North’s other books because, despite being short, they felt like complete/coherent stories. This felt like rough parts of a story often missing explanation/motivation for behaviors even being alternating POVs. 😕

No me gusta dar malas reseñas 😩.
Llevo un buen rato leyendo todo en inglés y este libro me llegó en español. Le echaré un poco la culpa a la traducción de los errores ortográficos.
Me pareció malo, aburrido, los personajes no tenían química además de que llegó a un nivel de ridículo que las últimas 20 páginas dolía leerlo.
Me siento mal por mi reseña pero podría escribir otras muchas razones por mi baja calificación, mi buen corazón ya no me deja.

Debo dejar de leer libros con nombres tan clichés.

[Kathleen Bradbury (Bulfon) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great story. It was well written and fast paced. The chemistry between the characters was sizzling hot. This book has everything you need to keep you turning pages hot sexy men, steamy scenes and some conflict thrown in. I cannot wait for what this author writes next.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

2.8/5⭐️

Mmm bueno, este es un cliché que no vas a disfrutar a menos de que busques leer algo como esto.

Tenemos la historia de Connor y Rosalie, quienes son jefe y su aparente “asistente”. Contiene:

-Fake Dating.
-Embarazo de una noche.
-El trope de “estoy enamorada de ti pero no lo notas.”

Es mucho que decir de un libro tan corto, que es lo que buscaba, un romance breve pero lo suficientemente entretenido y este libro fue…meh.

Connor y Rosalie fingen ser pareja constantemente para que Connor pueda cerrar tratos con clientes importantes, así que Rosalie, siendo tan servicial, amigable y audaz, le da una imagen brillante. Después de una noche en donde dan rienda suelta a su mutua atracción, Rosalie se entera de que está embarazada.
Es fácil de leer, no tiene demasiada trama y personajes, así que si buscas algo rápido y con el cliché específico, puedes tratar con este libro.

Siendo sincera estuve tentada a darle 2 estrellas, pero la protagonista me gustó y fue básicamente este personaje el que hizo que terminara de leer el libro.

🚫SPOILERS🚫

Connor se comporta como un patan, al ser un adicto al trabajo y determinado al éxito sin importar qué. Deja de lado a Rosalie y solo la ve como un adorno destinado a su apariencia, aunque ella sea la directora de extensión y no sólo su asistente

Durante todo el libro se comporta como un niño pequeño y sí, tiene que ver con el hecho de que nunca se ha interesado en nada más que el trabajo, pero se autodenomina como superdotado y no tiene la decencia de tomar en cuenta los sentimientos de Rosalie.

Al final cuando ella se determina a dejar las cosas, Connor se enmienda con rosas, palabras bonitas y un anillo😭 no, no y no.

Tal vez solo sea mi postura en cuanto al tipo de dinámica, pero no disfruté como esperaba el libro.

Simple Story

Typical fake relationship between the billionaire boss, Conner, and his Assistant, Rosalie. Their one night affair ended in a pregnancy. Apparently, Rosalie had been in love with Conner for years but he wasn't aware of her until the one night affair. He knew then that he loved her and was overjoyed with him becoming a father. However, his treatment of her didn't change. Both characters were rather flat with little backstory. The plot was thin and overused. There was no real sexual tension but they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. I never felt any chemistry and the sex was wham bam for both of them. The book bordered on boring and was difficult to finish. The blurb was far more interesting than the book.

It's a shame, for with more character development and chemistry, this could have been a pretty good contemporary romance.

[Noe · Rating 2 out of 5]

La verdad es que fue una decepción, ya me había leído otro libro de la autora que no me llegó a gustar, pero esto no me gustó nada. La prota era una tonta dramática que esperaba que el chico le leyera la mente y él era un despistadillo muy centrado en el trabajo, pero que fue obligado a rastrarse por la chica, y los clientes fueron unos estúpidos con él (que no entiendo por qué a la tonta de Dora no le gustaba el chico) y robarle la empleada en la cara al pobre señor. No sé, tampoco creo que él estuviera mal en ponerle una prueba a la chica para darle un puesto de mayor relevancia, a fin de cuentas, es el jefe, y luego estaba el tema del embarazo y por eso no se lo dio de primeras. Pero vamos, que fue una chorrada que ni siquiera me entretuvo y que me exaspero, no es tanto que esté mal el libro sino que no encajó conmigo.

Connor McClellan and Rosalie Bridges make an awesome team. She makes him look good with clients, often posing as his girlfriend. One celebratory night they cross the line and when she receives a lackluster flower arrangement and note, she’s just a bit over it. But Connor isn’t. Unaware that his intention of sending a romantic note and dozens of red roses went woefully awry, he swoops into town to close the deal that once got away and Rosalie. Add to this o her sudden discovery that she’s pregnant with his child. She agrees to help him as an audition for a promotion while he agrees to audition to be her real boyfriend. But will the famous focus on the deal that has made him his fortune be the undoing of their burgeoning relationship?

[Jess · Rating 4 out of 5]

Billionaire Conner McClellan has a single-minded focus that has brought him from a poor childhood raised single mindedly and handedly by his mother, to that billionaire status. The secret to his success? Rosalie Bridges, his beautiful assistant and frequent "date" to business meetings to smooth his edges. When one night of passion leads to an unexpected pregnancy, will Conner be able to shift his hyper focus from work to include Rosalie and their future child and give them both the attention they deserve?

Like all Leslie North stories, this one is on the short side, a perfect novella-style quick read with some character development but not enough to be a full novel. Great if you're looking for a quick read!

4/5 stars!

[ALMA NAYELI · Rating 2 out of 5]

Podría haber merecido 3 o 4 estrellas pero aunque casi todo me gustó, considero que los últimos 3 capitulos lo arruinaron desde que el empezó a hacer comentarios tan machistas,ella que no se daba su lugar para que al último lo perdonará con unas cuantas flores y palabras bonitas y encima lo justifican con que ella tendría que haber hablado primero con él sobre como se sentía, y bueno esa parte estoy de acuerdo pero eso no significa que de un momento a otro el fuera a cambiar, aunque supuestamente eso es lo que pasa al final🙄
En fin pudo ser uno de los mejores libros pero el final es espantoso solo porque parecia que querían terminar la historia y solo le quedaban 5 minutos.

[Courtney · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. This was a really fun, cute, and sexy read. The character's chemistry was so good and I loved the fact that Connor was so on board with Rosalie's pregnancy right from the start. He doesn't get spooked, he wants it, and he wants the relationship. I also liked that even though Rosalie has been in love with Connor for years, she does stand up to him and doesn't just fall to his whims. She does what's best for her. Both characters had some flaws, but they worked through them. Really enjoyed this one.

Good read

This was given in a group as a recommended read. I have read Leslie Both and liked her books, I was just expecting something different.
Was a good read and enjoyed the story, I would have !liked it if she was stronger. Conner was really dense and missed way too many signals.

[Sky Ocampo · Rating 5 out of 5]

A veces lo más importante lo tienes en frente de tí

Es increíble el proceso de Connor pero también de Rosalie, los dos son un complemento del otro, pero no todo es negro hay un ver color rosa. ...

Es el buen procedimiento de cada personaje, su desarrollo y sobre todo la manera en ellos lo resuelve..

No toda la vida es éxito, debes tener caídas para sobrellevar los bajones pero también esa victoria en ti.

Good

This book was a good read.The story was well written & storyline great. The characters keep you guessing who will win out in their clashes.Rosiland is fighting for recognition from her boss. The book is sexy, exciting & you will not be able to put it down.

[Will Decker · Rating 4 out of 5]

An entertaining romance with a barely likable main character paired up with a very likable strong female counterpart. As always with North's books, the editing is clean, the plot well thought out, and the romance spicy. She never disappoints.

I enjoyed this.

I read this in one sitting and the one thing that was bothering me not only finally got addressed. But I was incredibly happy with the resolution. Looking forward to more.

[Cynthia Tellez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Para ser un libro corto, me impresionó, he de admitir que me faltó un poco más de contexto al inicio, en el sentido de que no mostraron cómo era su relación antes de la situación, pero lo arreglaron al ir mencionando ciertas cosas, me gustó

A Great Team

Awesome read. It had me from beginning to end. Connor and Rosalie were a great team. She always made him look good. They had chemistry in and out the office.

What's Important

Connor has always put his focus on success and winning. Rosalie makes him reconsidered what is actually important. He realizes family is what's important.
