My Billionaire Boss

review 1: Oh, how embarrassing it is to be found hiding your boss’s desk after being told not to enter his office when he is out. Delilah Neri, recently hired (three days) before as a records clerk and now (an hour ago) as the Executive assistant to Jackson Stone, CEO of the Stone – Black Corporation. Now the express train to the top seems to have derailed and crashed thirty minutes outside of the station. Delilah’s motives for joining this multi – national, a billion dollar company was revenge. Revenge for the cold and heartless way the company destroyed the small community she grew up in without a single thought of what their actions would do to the hamlet’s inhabitants. Ever since the Shades of Grey trilogy by E. L. James was first published in 2011, the concept has ... moresuccessfully been exploited by a number of other writers. No longer are the days when a couple of million is a fortune worth admiring; no longer are the days that billionaires are old captains of industry with many years on top and old money at the base. Today’s billionaire businessmen are young, virile and kinky. Like the aforementioned trilogy, this three part series follow the same form. This book is the first of the My Billionaire Boss series and was first published in 2013. If you are still hungry after the Fifty Shades series this just might be the tidbit for you.
review 2: Look, I get it. It's smut. Reality doesn't enter into the picture. Pizza boys don't really "deliver" in real life, appliance repairmen don't really "fix" what ails a bored housewife, and highway patrol officers don't let you off because you got them off. But this is sooooooo ridiculous, so out of the realm of any remote resemblance to life on planet Earth, it's only redeeming quality would be if it was supposed to be a satire of the billionaire erotica trend. Alas, it's far too earnest and plodding and absent any spark of wit to hope that was the author's intent.And it's not all that sexy, either, if the reader was hoping to skip right to the smut.We're asked to believe that someone hired to be a lowly records clerk is suddenly promoted to executive assistant to a billionaire businessman who actively runs a successful conglomerate. Not only does she not have the skills, she doesn't interview for the job and she is given no choice to refuse it. She then meet cutes her boss, who is all demanding and dominant (but of course) and insists she calls him "Sir." Oh, and she spills her vibrator out of her purse at his feet because who doesn't take their vibrator to work with them as a matter of course?! But maybe this company has a Sex Toy Tuesday, like Casual Friday at other offices. It certainly explains why the billionaire has a hidden bar - no, not the kind for drinks. The kind subs apparently hang onto when being punished by doms. Either that, or he likes to practice his pliés in secret. And obviously, the sexual harassment policy at this office is absolutely nonexistent.So...she screws up nearly every task he gives her, he tells her not to sit down before mere sentences later waving her to a chair, and then he comes over all Bluebeard by telling her not to go into his office without permission (because executive assistants to billionaires never, ever need to be in the executive's office to fetch papers and other items when the billionaire isn't around.). But oh noes, she's misplaced her vibrator! And guess where it might be?But again, I get it. Who wants reality with their erotica? Except that when the characters are cardboard and the sex is tepid, it only makes the ridiculous scenario stand out that much more. less
