I saw a teaser for Boss and the cover and I pretty much decided right then and there that I wanted to read it. I didn’t really pay attention to the synopsis and while that has backfired for me a time or two before, this was definitely not one of those instances. I did have those new-author-jitters because I’ve been in one of my finicky moods and I was a bit worried that that would affect they way I read Boss, but all of my nerves were for nothing because I absolutely loved Boss! It was totally dope and I had an awesome time reading it!
This was my first time reading W.S. Greer and I can assure you that it will not be the last! He really has a knack for writing in a way that pulls out your emotions and doesn’t allow you to be passive while you're reading what is going on with the characters. Amari and Gianna’s story made me eyes water, made me furious, and even gave me chills at one point. I was completely invested in their story and witnessing them succeed and get rewarded with everything they deserved. I love both Amari and Gianna so much for their strength, ambition, and their determination to take the world on and especially for them just being them with no qualms or cares for what anyone else thought.
Boss was powerful, motivating, and moving. I loved how Amari and Gianna stood on their own as completely separate characters who each had their own goals they wanted to accomplish and how they only became stronger together and totally unstoppable. Boss had action, heart, romance, and spirit — it was one wild ride and I’m so glad I was there for it!

This book was dual POV and the chapters were grouped with a title with almost stages of the story. This was interesting I guess and made the book read quicker. Chapters were also generally quite short which I appreciated.
I think this book took too long to get into the romance though like they only went on their first date about 50% in. Also, this was pitched to me as a mafia romance but to me it felt more like a romance and the MCs just so happened to be involved in the mafia but weren't "the mafia."
This book is by no means bad per se but I just don't think the content warrants a higher rating as I just didn't feel like enough happened.
I liked the boss women vibes of h.

Boss was so interesting to me because from the beginning it felt real, from the descriptions of Amari's release from prison, to where he came from, and his family life it all felt like you were part of the atmosphere. Amari grew up in poverty but he was super smart and one day at his 9 to 5 he got extremely discouraged because his boss would not let him grow in the company citing excuse after excuse, so he did something not so smart that landed him in prison. The time in prison allowed him to think and plot. Gianna comes from a ruthless mafia family, she is strong and amazing but she wants more of the mafia life her dad created, they won't allow it because she is female. She has a plan, but what both characters don't expect is to find each other and in each other not only do they find passion and love but together their plans benefit them both and they could rule together. I felt like I was watching some kind of action movie and I know some people won't like how raw and gritty Amari is because the way he talks etc. but he is on a level of genius and it makes the story feel more authentic. I also loved this quote from the author because it sums Amari up to a T if readers can't relate to him and how he speaks, "Be you. No matter where you are, or who you're around. Be you. It's not your job to make yourself uncomfortable, just so people who are different from you can feel more comfortable around you. If you don't represent for you, nobody will. Be you. #unapologeticallyme"

Amari gets out of prison after 5 years. He was sent to prison for robbing his old job, when he got out he made sure he had a plan to get everything he wanted out of life. Gianna is the mafia princess who just wants to become a Made woman, but in that world they wont allow a woman to be Made, her father just wants her to meet a nice Italian man and have babies. When both Gianna and Amari realize what they want they are unapologetically themselves and are willing to do anything to get what they want. What happens when Amari goes for the mafia princess? What happens when these two actually go for what they want?
I CANT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVED THESE CHARACTERS!!! Amari and Gianna are my heroines and heroes. I love that they are ruthless and just absolutely just them. I really believe everyone should read this book because it shows that you can be anything and do anything you put your mind to. This story is Bonnie and Clyde without them dying at the end.

My first book by W.S. Greer (thank you Booktok!) and it wont be the last despite the 3.5 star rating. This is my 2nd romance written by a man, and this time I was not disappointed! Greer writes women great and doesn't make them seem like sluts. The sex scenes are also written decently. So kudos to you Greer!
I went into this book thinking it would be romance. But it's more action than romance. Sure there is a romance between Amari and Gianna, but it's not the important part of the book. The important part of the book is Amari wanting his own empire and then he gets mixed in with the mafia.

This isn't the only book I own by this author but it is the first one I read and I honestly don't think I could have made a better choice. Amari and Gianna both encapsulated the books title and when they work together? Fireworks. Amari is super confident and even though she's been verbally beaten down, Gianna rarely takes anyone's nonsense. I was here this whole Mafia meets cyber gangster vibe and I can't wait to pick up my other works by this author.

I love mafia romance, and this is my first time reading WS Greer. Amari was such a well-done character! Something from nothing… Loved that! Gianna was written as a very strong heroine… Loved that too! When Amari and Gianna get together, watch out! Intense, dark, steamy suspense! I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.
