By a Thread: A Grumpy Boss Romantic Comedy

Product Information

What if I keep wearing vests?" And poor Dominic's arrogance and iron-clad sense of self sure took some hits. "Stop worrying," he insisted. From author Lucy Score comes, By A Thread,a steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy. A One Night Stand Studios audiobook production, read by award-winning narrators Erin Mallon and Sebastian York. What can I do for you, boss?” “Just keep being your belligerent self, and sooner or later, my mother will realize she made a terrible mistake.” “I don’t know about that. She kept you around.”

so this book starts with Dominic Russo (H) going to a pizza restaurant where he's supposed to meet his mother (owner of the magazine company he works at) and a waitress told him that there were no phones allowed but he's an asshole so he ignores her then proceeds to be rude to her. the waitress, who is none other than our heroine Ally Morales, isn't taking any of his shit so obviously, she's rude too and she makes him a pizza where the pepperonis are written in "FU". he gets her fired cuz again, he's an asshole, plus all his frustration from the past year finally blew up and he took it out on her. his mother was having none of his attitude and chased after Ally and then proceeded to hire her. STARS!! Your hopeful heart is the most beautiful thing I've ever known. How is this my first book by Lucy Score? How?! I guess because I don't read many rom-com's . . . but this one pushed ALL the right buttons for me. I LOVED EVERY WORD OF IT!!Dominic is a brooding, grumpy alpha with a heart of gold, and the more we learn about him and his upbringing, the more we fall in love with him. I’m a whole lot of things right now.” And I was. A vibrating mess of feelings that threatened to swamp me. Dominic Russo, heir to the Label Magazine empire, is uptight, surly and unrepentant. Being forced to partake in the family business has him feeling out of his element and unhappy. In the event leading to his demise, his anger wasn’t meant to stretch that far, and getting the waitress fired; well he almost felt bad… There’s a fine line between annoyance and ‘damn, I really want to get that naked,’” he pointed out.” This story does have a kind of Cinderella vibe to it because Dominic has the means and the ability to make life much easier for Ally. But the richest thing of all is how Ally brings out the fun side of him and how she gets him to really live rather than just exist. I could almost feel the ice thawing around him.

This one was a form-hugging Valentino. I couldn’t wait to put it on. And I already knew that Dom couldn’t wait to take it off. then obviously after that there was a ton of push and pull, cute situations with sexual tension and the MCs "fighting" but its just foreplay, the whole "i want you but i can't be with you" trope from the H, etc. You say you care about me. You're obviously attracted to me. And as much as you bitch and moan about me ruining you life, I think you actually like me. But not enough to want to be with me. And because of that, I can't trust you, Dominic. I'm not going to open up and share my life story with you. You haven't earned that access." She hopes to someday write from a sailboat, oceanfront condo, or tropical island with reliable Wi-Fi.When It Falls Apart by Catherine Bybee: Review, excerpt, interview with the author, and a giveaway! Dominic Russo aka Charming, just smashed down the doors into my Hero Hall of Fame. At 44 he is older than many of the Heroes in contemporary romance but Oh. My. God. he is HOT. Reading his verbal sparring with Ally was so entertaining. These two fire off of each other for much of the book yet, underneath the verbal foreplay and the palpable sexual tension, Dominic slowly starts to feel things for her outside of just physical attraction. What are you doing? Breaking and entering?” I asked, re-adjusting Maya’s blanket like any obsessive new mom concerned about the effects of pollen, suffocation, sun, and fifty-degree temperatures on my perfect child.

Ally, the main character, who is broke poor gorgeous but doesn't know it beautiful even though she has no money to put effort into her looks live in a house with a broken ceiling has a father in a nursing home whom she pays all the bills for and also never forget that she is a feistySo his entire resistance to Ally is stupid, nonsensical, and completely impossible in an actual person living an actual life.

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.i don’t even know how to express how much i loved this book. The dynamic between dom (H) and ally (h) was absolutely incredible. this book is one of those “i hate how much i want you” books.
