Seducing the Boss

Hotness Rating 3 out of 5 I don't even know where to begin with Seducing the Boss by Mari Carr. I think it's safe to say we've all read the best friend turns lover trope at one time or another. Seducing the Boss isn't reinventing this storyline, but it does give us a fast paced, sexy read that you won't want to put down. Well,except to maybe grab the fire extinguisher. This couple generates sparks in a big way. Kellan James is such a likable character considering he's a womanizing workaholic. In his defense his womanizing does not include misleading innocent women into thinking he wants more than a night or two between the sheets. He's a man who breaks into cold sweats at the thought of settling down, but enjoys having a woman when the mood strikes. And the mood strikes a lot! I not only respected Sara as a woman, but as a nurse. She was everything a nurse should strive to be. I loved that she was a no-nonsense take charge kind of woman, but knew how to be soft when the situation warranted it. She was the perfect counterpart for Kellan balancing him in a way that no other woman really could. This romance had tons of obstacles that seemed insurmountable. Kellan was her friend since early childhood and if that's not enough he's also her boss. You would think these things would be enough to keep two intelligent people away from starting anything intimate that could come back to bite them in the end. However, when Kellan saw Sara at the bar and considered her as something other than his best friend Scrubs (the nickname he uses for her which I adore) he can't seem to think about anything else. It didn't take him too much persuasion to convince Sara that a weekend of unadulterated passion between them and then back to life as is was just what they needed. My heart hurt for Kellan as he waded through his past and faced the demons that made him feel the way he does about relationships. I applauded Sara however. She stood her ground and refused to compromise on what she deserved. This book is a definite must read. I am so sad that it's over.

Frenemies Sara and Kellan, work together everyday. Are friendly on occasion and push each others buttons regularly. There are no benefits to the association until a spark of attraction leads to an explosive reaction. Mari Carr takes primitive up a notch with a sexy no limits romance that is fire engine red. Kellan is every woman's fantasy guy in the bedroom but has yet to mature in other areas. Sara is the girl next door that's bark is worse than her bite. Her school girl innocence is the catalyst for Kellan's dirtiest fantasies. In order to win, each has to learn to compromise. I received an ARC of Seducing The Boss by Mari Carr in exchange for an honest review. This romance is earthquake level.

"Seducing the Boss" by Mari Carr is book number two in the "Pulse" series. This is Kellan James and Sara Connelly's story. Kellan and Sara have been friends for most of their life and her boss at the hospital where they work. Their friendship has never crossed the line until one night things change. It is meant to be just a hookup and to allow Sara to let loose and enjoy herself. The more time they spend with each it gets harder and harder for the both of them to see this as just a hookup. Will they risk their friendship and work relationship to take a chance on love? There is a lot of graphic hot intimate scenes. In the second half of the book you get a story to go with why they never hooked up before and why they could be perfect for each other. This was an okay read for me. FYI, includes graphic mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
