My Favorite Boss

De: Melanie Moreland

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, John Lane

Get ready to laugh out loud in the office from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland

My new boss—Alexander Bane

Aptly named since he’s the bane of my existence.

Please isn’t in his vocabulary.

He grunts, growls, and demands.

If only he didn’t look so sexy when doing so.

If only his mouth weren’t so addictive when kissing mine.

He’s quickly becoming my favorite boss.

Which is wrong.

My new assistant is an unwelcomed distraction.

Snarky, witty, always smiling.

Constantly putting me in my place.

Making me second-guess my decisions.

I dislike it. Intensely.

Unless I’m kissing her.

Then Magnolia Myers becomes my favorite person.

Which I hate.

Two people working together, disliking each other.

Until they don’t.

Then the fun begins

HR has never been so entertained.

Author's note: For those on the lookout for a hero who's so charming when he's bossy that it makes you want to follow his orders just to keep him talking.

another great read

such a great book. I laughed so much. Magnolia and Bane are great characters. There story was great. I really enjoyed the epilog.

Cat Daddy

This Audiobook was funny and spicy! Magnolia is a sassy and smart assistant who isn't afraid of her boss, Alex's, grumpiness. He tried to deny his feelings only to fall hard for her. These two show how opposites attract.

Comical! Cutesy!

NARRATION
Type: Dual narration
Melanie Moreland narration adds the much need emotion for this character and it definitely made me feel like she was a friend telling me each and every detail of the gossip of her love life. John Lane narration took me a little to get into especially when he did the female voices (hehe).

STORY
FMC: Magnolia Myers
MMC: Alexander Bane
A comical story of a boss/assistant romance, this story was wonderful for the first half and then felt a little dragged threw the second half but it did get better. The situations through out the story had me giggling, the characters are amazing, and of its not as great as the first book BUT i liked this book as well. This is a carefree book that i used as a cleanser book between books and it definitely did the trick. I absolutely HATE pregnancies in books ughhhhh lol its a personal hate towards this trope or book situation.

Stellar

How does one make an already exceptional, laugh out loud book even better? By having these two performers narrate it. John and Maxine, I swear to you, can do no wrong. They always elevate a story and make it their own. Their inflection is always on point as they deliver a stellar performance. It was pure eargasmic as I couldn’t stop… didn’t want it to stop. They owned it so hard and I was there for it… now their performance and this story will live rent-free in my mind until the next MM book is release! This audiobook is a MUST listen to book.

Hilarious

"HR has never been so entertained." That line of the blurb brings a laugh just thinking about the context. You'll completely understand what I mean if you've read My Favorite Boss. If you haven't, I highly recommend it. Alexander Bane and Magnolia Myers take compromising positions to a whole new level. That's as far as I'm going on that point. I'll let you find those laughs on your own. That said, I don't know that any tidbit from this laugh-out-loud funny tale would be considered a spoiler - there are so many great moments that one or two wouldn't do any damage (not that you're getting them from me!).
I really needed a feel-good, hilarious book to get lost in when I started reading this one, and true to form, Melanie Moreland delivered. With every release, I have a new favorite, so I'll just say I love this book and its characters. The story pulled me right in and made for a wonderful bit of escape from everyday life.
I always count on John Lane and Maxine Mitchell to give wonderful performances, so it was no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed the listen of My Favorite Boss. Whether it was antics or funny banter or a bit of swoony and sexy or anything in between, Lane and Mitchell bring these characters right out of the book and into your head. I had the pleasure of reading the book and then listening, and I've gotta say that no matter which medium you choose, you won't be sorry.

What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Standalone workplace romance/romcom book!
🤩 The grumpy/sunshine characterization in this book is fabulous and the narrators are so perfectly and beautifully cast, taking all the amazing feels to an extraordinary level! What fantastic audiobook entertainment!!
🤩 Chapter 10 is probably my favorite, part in each MC’s POV—yes, please and thank you!! Of course, I listened more than once. What steamy goodness! 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶️
🤩 The chemistry, unwanted attraction, and secret pining from the start! Those first details of attraction are so yummy.
🤩 Laugh-out-loud funny! Especially when people keep walking in on them at conspicuous times!
🤩 When Bane starts to worry about something being wrong with Magnolia, asks her friend about her, and acknowledges her superior work in his speech—grumpy Alexander Bane earns book boyfriend material!
🤩 The oh my gosh moments are the best!
🤩 All the feels (love, longing, lusty goodness, & laughs) combined into pure romcom perfection!
🤩 I adore these two so much!! Their honesty and sweetness is so swoony.

What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Nothing at all besides being thankful for amazing books at just the right time! It’s a good bookish life.

“You were, you are, perfect for me."

Crossing the boundaries from professional to personal has never been as much fun as it is in My Favorite Boss. Bane and Magnolia light the pages on fire with their snarky banter and knack at finding themselves in inappropriate situations. Their story was an absolute delight and I absolutely loved their grumpy/sunshine dynamic.

Magnolia is such a ball of joy. She makes the best out of every situation and is unapologetically herself. Her snark and refusal to back down to her grumpy boss was so fun to read. Bane is grumpy, hard to please and absolutely obsessed with his new assistant. Underneath his rude comments and arrogant manner beats the heart of a softie. Magnolia helps him discover a side to himself that he never knew existed.

John Lane is perfect as the grumpy Bane and I loved his interpretation of this man that falls so hard for his assistant. Maxine Mitchell is always fantastic and she's exceptional as the sunshine that is Magnolia. I loved how these two narrated the audio and made me fall in love with this story all over again.

The sparks fly between Bane and Magnolia from their very first meeting and they just intensify with their every interaction. Add in an adorable kitten and laugh out loud office hijinks as well as a sweetly emotional story and you have another winner from this author. My Favorite Boss was sweet, spicy, heartwarming and a positively adorable read.

You see me 💙🥪

As soon as I saw the announcement for this audiobook, It became an anticipated listen of mine! I've been wanting to get into more of this author's audiobooks and that added even more to my excitement for it. I started listening to My Favorite Boss as soon as I could. Once I did, I couldn't stop listening to it! I had to finish it in one sitting. I really adored and enjoyed this audiobook oh so very much!

Having listened to both Maxine Mitchell and John Lane's narration many times before I was so happy that these two were the narrators for My Favorite Boss!

Laugh out loud and swoons💕

I absolutely love Maggie and Alex’s story, how they found their hea💜

Alex comes from old money, but doesn’t act like it, he’s very generous and caring, but doesn’t believe he’s capable of loving anyone. His mother is always putting him down and trying to get him to pair up with a social climber to improve his image.

Magnolia comes into his life as his personal assistant at his office and quickly turns his life around and quite hilariously turns his whole world careening into one HR misunderstanding after another!
He quickly realizes that he doesn’t want his quiet ordinary life anymore and craves his Maggie more and more every day.

The narrator’s voices were perfection 5 🎙️⭐️

Good

Im giving a 4.5 overall. I enjoyed but at moments got a bit bored. I love MM books and think it was worth the credit. beginning funny end cute.
