A Grumpy Boss Romantic Comedy

By: Lucy Score

Narrated by: Erin Mallon, Sebastian York

"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 her first day of 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 asshole, 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 away 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 just beneath her boss’ sexy vests.

Ok so if you're looking for a steamy workplace with enemies to lovers romance you need to read this book. It's a rollercoaster and so fricken good.

Deliciously Wonderful

I so love the story. It's so relatable the characters are so really Allie never gave up on helping her dad. Dominic was a loving father to their children. But he loved Allie like no other. Do this love exist anymore? This story warmed heart. 💖

Worth every penny

A new author for me. Amazing story and narration was fantastic!! One of my favorite books ever!

What a Gem!!

I have found a new Author!! Love the Banter between Dominic and Ally, the way that Lucy brings her characters alive is stupendous!! I get caught up in these two and was sad that the story had to end. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

1st time listener, instant fan

This was my first audible book and it was a little different than what I was expecting but I wish I would have started this a long time ago. I had read this book before I listened to it and the voices were so much better than what I was imagining. The story to this book is fantastic and highly recommend this.

one of my faves

I LOVE Lucy's books. This book especially. It's my goto book when nothing else catches my attention for entertainment. I love the narrators, the performance for me is engaging.

Amazing!

Loved this book! The story was great and the narrators are awesome as always. Spend the credit, you won’t regret it!

Funny and entertaining

Loved the book, characters and romance. Listened to is twice. Lucy tells a story like no other

Really, tired of Sex?!?

It was like a great sermon by my favorite minister, who had a great message, but went on and on and on. Was so ready to get to the happy ending !!!

Almost perfect. Age was an issue for me!

Absolutely loved this book, but their age was the only problem for me. As I’ve read in other reviews, their character maturity didn’t line up with how old the characters are.
I would have loved them to be in their early 30’s, but mid/late 40’s was not what I expected. I just pretended they were younger.
But everything else was AMAZING. The story, the love and angst, the sex..all great.
It is a VERRRRY slow burn with tease, but holy crap so worth it.
Sebastian York is also 🔥 so anything performed by him is great.
