I love the grumpy boss trope, but I am often disappointed in how it’s executed. This one is nearly perfect. Anthony, a venture capitalist who lost a poker bet and now has to guide a matchmaking service run by Summer and her aunt, has a secret. He’s definitely grumpy, and you can tell he’s either been burned by heartbreak or some other tragedy, and when the reveal comes, it’s not kept from you in vague terms for most of the book until a surprise reveal, but instead fed to you bit by bit until you realize the source of his misery.
This is not instalust, but the two leads don’t hate one another at the beginning either. It’s strictly business, and I loved how Summer wasn’t described as pining or lusting after him 10 seconds after they meet. The attraction comes as they become friends, and I loved how the relationship grew.
There were times, especially toward the end, when I was not happy about how Anthony was handling the situation, but it was written well and so I have to leave it to the author to decide how her characters resolve their situations.
I’ve only read two books now from this author, and one of the things I absolutely love is that the FMCs are strong women who don’t lose their heads when the handsome man appears, they are equal to the man in wit and conversation, and have great backbones. The conflicts are creative but realistic, although the next book is about fake relationship. That’s not realistic, but it should be fun.
I didn’t take any stars off for it, but this romance like most e-romances includes my pet peeve about proposals. An author spends a whole story weaving how the leads come to respect, love, support, trust one another, and then it leaves the power in the men’s hands as to when the proposal occurs. I especially hate the ones where the FMC says the MMC has hinted about getting married and she’s just waiting around for it, and I also hate the ones where the MMC says something to the FMC about one of these days I’m going to put a ring on your finger and she has to wait around for it. Just a personal pet peeve.
