**I received a copy of Chasing Gunner from Xpresso Book Tours and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions expressed below are not solicited in any way.**

Chasing Gunner by J.M. Stoneback is the second book in her Chasing series but as of right now Darien isn't available but I have hopes of someday reading it. Chasing Gunner has everything angst, alcohol and drug addition, domestic violence, and finding love with Gia who has her own past horrors. But for me the author did a wonderful job writing how the H/h managed to get beyond all of their problems and learn to love again.

Gia Gallagher isn't a great personal assistant to Gunner Underwood (Nickname: Wolf) whom he calls Rainbow because of her interesting colored outfits. Because of student loan debt her wish of owning her own Bakery so for now she'll do coffee runs and tolerate Gunners rotating women and drinking because he pays very well. But when she's faced with be homeless, her boss will offer his penthouse extra room to her even though he wants her in his bed. Somehow they will figure out how to love each other all while dealing with their past demons and PTSD.

Gunner Underwood buys failing banks and brings them back from the brink but he has demons and flashbacks from his childhood, alcohol addiction and his one goal is to get Gia into his bed but first he needs to confront his ghosts from his past before he drinks himself to death. Can Gia save him even though his friend Darien and Matteo have tried and failed? Will they find the love they both want desperately? Gia asks one thing of Gunner get help and deal with his PTSD before he can come back to her for their happily ever after.

Book Title: Heartless Boss
REVIEW ☆☆☆☆☆
Wow. What a book. Gunner started out rough and Gia kinda just took it. I get it, he's your boss, what are you going to do? When Gunner helps Gia out, its push and pull with his feelings. This book is layered with emotion with a dark aspect.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Everything about this series was a total turn off for me. The vulgarness of the leading character Gunner just didn't do it for me and the entire relationship between them just didn't seem right. It was really hard to find anything I did like and the fact that I made it to chapter ten was a miracle within itself.

Gia Gallagher was also the quiet girl in college who kept to herself and barely looked up from her job at the library. She never seemed to have many friends and kept to herself but when she is hired to be a personal assistant to a man from college she does her job but seems to flinch when he gets into her personal space.

Gunner Underwood always had a "thing" for Gia in college but his "Rainbow" never really gave him the time of the day so he spent his time filling the nights with random women who never meant anything to him. Now that he runs Underwood Banking he has employed the girl he has always wanted.

As Gunner and Gia get closer he tells her he doesn't do relationships but still wants Gia. But soon Gunner's demons begin to take over and will it cost him everything?

This was such a great book filled with laughs and also moments of sadness where you are not sure how the characters are going to get through.

Both Gia and Gunner have ghosts and pasts that are troubled but each of them focus on different ways of healing and dealing with the issues which can either strengthen or destroy the characters.

Gia is called "Rainbow" by Gunner due to how she dresses and I love that she really didn't care that she was different. She overcame so much and didn't take things for granted and was so appreciative when Gunner gave her a helping hand.

Gunner had made something of himself and had a very successful business, Underwood Banking, yet he was still unfulfilled and was drinking and sleeping with any woman. He had wanted Gia since college yet he was also afraid of ruining her with his own demons.

I knew things were going to heat up between Gia and Gunner and slowly you watch Gunner change into a different man when he is with Gia yet his demons were still so destructive and they began to affect their "relationship".

There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me wondering what was going to happen next and with certain characters and how they were really all connected.

I loved how Gia began to put herself first and follow her own dream and my heart broke with one of her confessions to Gunner and his reaction.

I was happy at the end when Gunner realized he needed help and when he finally told the Gia the truth of the PTSD.

The end was great and I am looking forward to more in the series!!

Chasing Gunnar - 3 and a half Stars ✨
I really loved book one in this series. This book seems to be a little rushed and not as thought out as the first.

Good plot I liked the premise of the story but there are a lot of errors and quite a bit of rambling that is very confusing in the book. Also a lot of slang that didn’t seem to fit a 31 year old or a 28 year old either.

The characters are well developed but I feel like the book could have used a few more read throughs.
