BOOK SUMMARY
Dominic was staring at me like
he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French
kiss me.
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a
bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She
proves that the first day at her new job… in my office… after being hired by my
mother.
So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring
personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison
for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the
editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown
eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to
take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation son of a… fill
in the blank, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a
dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with
me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more
than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel back
all those layers. Then I can go back
to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging
brunette.
Ally
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
Author’s Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy
with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is
starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart beneath her
boss’s sexy vests.

Cat's Review
BY A THREAD by Lucy Score. Certainly an enjoyable read for me. I liked the characters - Ally, despite being in a rough spot in her life, is still pretty upbeat and full of life. She doesn't take much from others, which I admired. Dominic is quite full of himself and it did take a bit for him to grow on me, although not that long. I suppose, like Ally, I kind of like them a bit grumpy. The story itself was amusing and flowed nicely. It was fun to watch these two opposites fight the attraction and the slow burn that ensues. The only thing that was a bit off for me were the ages of the these characters. They were older (44/39) but came across as in their 20's to me. Overall, I did like this story - the characters (both main and secondary), the plot and the writing style. Looking forward to more by this author! (received ARC for honest review)
