I tried to quit my job.
Now my grumpy boss won’t let me out of his sight.
For the last four years, Leo Corbin has barely tolerated me. He rolls his eyes when I bring him homemade flapjacks; he grumbles when I chat his ear off in the elevator. He’s made it clear, time and time again, that my perkiness is a problem he suffers through.
Then I hand in my resignation letter… and the boss loses his freaking mind.
Now he won’t let me out of arm’s length. Won’t stop fussing over me, and giving me flowers and other gifts, and growling when other men get too close.
Jeez. Does he really want me to stay as his assistant this badly?
Or is Leo Corbin fighting for his wife?

Cute and sexy with the grumpy boss
I’ve really enjoyed the ‘A Night to Remember’ series of which this is the third – and final, I think – book. Each book stands alone and comes with Cassie Mint’s great blend of insta-love, obsessive (in the best way) heroes, smart, feisty heroines alongside delicious shenanigans, sex and romance. This is Cassie Mint’s wheelhouse and she’s one of the best at it.
Leo Corbin relies on his personal assistant to manage his business and his life. When she decides to quit, his perfect world goes up in smoke and he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He knows he doesn’t want to lose Hazel but, at first, he doesn’t realise why. I absolutely loved Leo’s slow descent into the realisation that he’s in love with Hazel. It’s hilariously seamless how his thoughts go from keeping her as his assistant, slowly, slowly changing until he’s borderline obsessed with keeping her as his wife. He was a little bit of an odd duck but I definitely warmed up to him as the story went on.
“It’s fun, cute and oh so sexy – the perfect read if you’re a fan of the insta-love romance…”
Hazel has a teensy tiny crush on her boss that she’s been harbouring for 4 long years as his assistant. She’s almost certain he barely sees her and finds her annoying chirpy and talkative the rest of the time. She can’t take it anymore and decides that it’s time to move on. But suddenly Leo is behaving strangely and not wanting to leave her side. It’s definitely a flip where now Hazel is the one side-eyeing her boss and telling him no – instead of him to her. I liked her a lot and was rooting for her both to stay strong and not let Leo win – and also to fall into his arms and let them both win.
And they definitely both win in this book. There’s a lot of build up to their first time but when we get there it’s as fast and furious as you’d like and plenty hot – even if they’ve got that swimming pool to cool off in. It was steamy, sexy and perfect for them as a couple.
This was a quick (less than an hour) read that I couldn’t – and didn’t – put down from start to finish. It’s fun, cute and oh so sexy – the perfect read if you’re a fan of the insta-love romance sub-genre and more specifically, of a grumpy boss blindsided by love for his assistant. 4 stars from me.
