Salvami, capo: Un accordo con conseguenze (Tu sei mia Vol. 1)

Billionaire Romance #1

by Rebecca Baker

Perseguitata dal suo ex, al verde, senza fissa dimora e costretta a dormire nella sua auto, la vita di Ava è in crisi.
Il nuovo lavoro di segretaria potrebbe essere la sua salvezza.
Ma il nuovo amministratore delegato non fa altro che sconvolgere la sua vita ancora di più, ma in modo inaspettato…

Ava ha toccato il fondo. Dopo essere stata buttata fuori dal suo ex ed essere rimasta completamente al verde, diventa una senzatetto ed è costretta a dormire nella sua auto. Per uscire da questo pasticcio ha assolutamente bisogno di un lavoro!
Riceve molti rifiuti, ma, miracolosamente, ne ottiene uno come segretaria di direzione di Nate Brockton. È disposta a fare qualsiasi cosa per lasciarsi finalmente alle spalle questo periodo terribile della sua vita.
Ma non aveva previsto che il suo capo fosse un miliardario bello e sexy che gliel’avrebbe sconvolta.

Nate ha rilevato l’azienda dei genitori dopo la loro separazione. A quanto pare, la segretaria era il passatempo del padre e quindi ha dovuto lasciare il suo posto. Mescolare il lavoro e le relazioni amorose è un tabù per lui. Se si vuole avere successo – e Nate lo vuole a tutti i costi – bisogna lavorare sodo e separare rigorosamente il divertimento dal lavoro.

Ava sembra proprio adatta al lavoro. È ambiziosa, dedicata e disposta a dare tutto, così Nate la assume.
Ma non contava che lei risvegliasse in lui degli istinti oscuri. Istinti che cerca di reprimere. Quando il suo ex la minaccia e lei gli chiede di proteggerla, i due vivono una notte non priva di conseguenze.

about as deep as a puddle

I kept waiting for the story to progress. It was flat and without depth to any of the characters. A bit disappointing.

what….

The ending is rubbish. This is the end of their story. There is no end. Nothing happens. Don’t waste your time reading. The entire book is left open with no direct follow up.

Modern Romance

Until it got weird with the literary disaster of a sex scene somewhere around 85% of the way through.

I had to scrap my first review because it dissected the unfortunate scene in detail. Frankly the entire scene read as though it was written by two or more people who didn’t bother to consult with each other.

It was painfully cringeworthy, it used obscure almost Victorian language, with the phrasing veering from one extreme to another - archaic and outlandish to contemporary romantic.

The rest of the story was great, predictable sure but still a good easy read. Ignoring the weirdness I still want to check out more by this author.

What the hell?

I would have given this book maybe three stars, or two at least but the author ruined it at the end.

The concept of the book was solid, that's why I was considering three but, the ending SUCKED HARD. It was as if the author lost interest in her own book.

There was zero closure on their relationship. We don't know if she confessed or what his reaction would have been. So that sucks.

We have no closure on Marcus, other than him being arrested.

And then, the cherry on top.

The note from the author at the end!

"You will look for contraceptives in vain in this book. Why is that? The story takes place in your imagination and should give you a carefree time and carefree reading pleasure.
In this world, all billionaires have six-packs and are really good in bed. STDs don't exist in this world!"

Yeah, see, we as readers, getting lost in a contemporary romance WANT to see.their men being responsible. Whether it be birth control OR verbally accepting the responsibility of a child should it come to pass.
THAT is a turn on, not this note from the author.

Hey jackass, that's not an "after note", that's something you put at the beginning as a warning label, so we as your readers, can decide if we WANT to continue or not.

I would have still read the book but I wouldn't have been confused about birth control methods.

Honestly, the book could have been better but, SHE ruined ruined it.

Congrats, dumdass!

Tra i libri più brutti che io abbia mai letto... I cambiamenti di idee non sono giustificati in nessun modo "non voglio scoparmi la mia segretaria" dopo pochissimo "non riesco a togliermi la mia segretaria dalla mente... Okay la bacio" "non provo nulla per lei è solo sesso.." poco dopo "è mia e di nessun altro" l'ex la butta fuori di casa e poi torna e non si capisce "se non ti avrò io non ti avrà nessuno" ma cos...
Non so se è scritto con i piedi o tradotto peggio, lei a cavalcioni su di lui, lui le sfila le mutande e le morde il sedere... Come abbia fatto lo sa solo lui e la scrittrice o la traditrice...
Non leggetelo

[Lara Bayfield · Rating 1 out of 5]

Where do I start? The writing is wooden and mechanical. There is no flow to the plot - Nate is void of any emotion and Ava is ridiculously naive. I’m not sure if the author was going for domestic abuse survivor or romance but doesn’t achieve either it is so disjointed. I'm not even sure why I bothered finishing it. There is no chemistry between the main characters and the sex scenes are rather odd - written more like a report than a steamy plot. One of the worst books I’ve read. Should be a minus 1 star.

I’m so sorry

I didn’t connect with this book. It felt bland and fell flat from my expectations. I was hoping for adventure and a bit of suspense and it was just straight forward. I couldn’t feel their connection and intimacy was ok not spicy. She seemed a bit easy and both of their parent issues were unresolved.
I applaud the author for taking the time to write the book and help us be aware of women’s issues hope it helps someone out there

Avery muss auf der Straße, bzw in ihrem Auto leben, daihr Exfreund sie aus seiner Wohnung geworfen hat. Um sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen bewirbt sie sich bei Nate, dem CEO einer großen Firma und hat Glück dabei. Als dieser von ihrem Schicksal erfährt, da ihr Ex sie jetzt stalkt und bedrängt versucht er ihr zu helfen.
Ein unterhaltsamer Roman mit Freundschaft, Liebe und einem Bösewicht. Sehr unterhaltsam geschrieben.

[Georgie HW · Rating 2 out of 5]

The good vibes ended with the premise. I really wanted to like this book, but the writing style put me off. As other reviewers have mentioned, the character development felt lacking, and the spicy scenes were far too overwritten. It often felt as though the author was trying to cram in as much vocabulary as possible at once. I wanted to love it, but I’m tapping out here.

J’ai aimé

Bon livre, sans prise de tête. Un magnifique jeune homme PDG et une jeune femme subitement dans le besoin, suite à une rupture avec un homme abusif, qui se cherche ardemment un job pour se sortir de sa situation précaire. L’histoire est bonne, elle tombe sur un patron, bon et compréhensif, qui se soucie de son bien-être et sa sécurité. Leurs histoires est belle et se développe tranquillement.

[Librada O · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two stars is generous, one is not enough. Poor character development; underdeveloped at best. It’s rushed and poorly written. If a high schooler was asked to write what they believed a woman thought a romance novel was, this would be their final exam paper.

[Cristina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Siendo generosa.... Encuentro la redacción compacta, sin pausas. El estilo para depurar. El tema podría estar bien, es un tópico al fin y al cabo.
Lo he leído saltando párrafos pesados.
Puede que le dé una oportunidad a la autora con un libro del final de la serie para ver si ha evolucionado.

[Luz Al Saud · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entretenido, buenas esas escenas, pero.. el pero es que quedan cabos sueltos, como que paso con el ex, el padre la madre, como siguieron en la empresa, al final se dijeron la palabra o no.?

En serio ese fue el final? No mames wtf !
Al menos hubiesen hecho un epilogo 🤔

[Pat Stanton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good love story, ending lacking

I enjoyed Nate and Ava's story. She is a very strong character, surviving and overcoming a difficult situation. Nate eventually gets out of his own head.
The ending is abrupt and not satisfying, which resulted in only a 3 star rating

[Marta · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not well written. Half of the book are her and his thoughts, which seem to belong to a teenie but not an adult. Boring. I jumped over several pages of their thoughts ("I love him but will not be the one to make the first step; I drink to much instead of talking to her") to get to a boring end.

[Vicki leeming · Rating 5 out of 5]

wow

This was so much more than I was expecting, loved every page and struggled to put the book down at times.
The chemistry the story makes you feel like you are living the love story

[Avril · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a good story , although the author could not decide if the name of the company was Brockton or Brockman, switched between the two, which spoiled it a bit

Traduzione pessima. La storia in sé non è male, tocca temi importanti, ma mancano i dialoghi. I due protagonisti parlano poco o nulla, è tutto nelle loro teste...
