Narration is SO good
Both Hannah and Trent are so committed to exploring the all the fun scenarios they had emailed back and forth to each other, they don’t seen to realise they have fallen into a situationship.
The beginnings their arrangement feels a bit bodice rippery, Trent (in my opinion) oversteps finding Hannah and the consent is a little murky. But over all it's a very fun fast ride.
Ally (Sister) - Has MS - realistic depiction. Really wished she had been love interest for Luke's book but sadly will did not happen.

Quick Info
Standalone/Cliffhanger?: Standalone
Part of a Series?: Yes
----------------------------------
Meeting the Characters
Hannah
Trent
----------------------------------
What happens?
Hannah is supporting her sister who is very sick and in a wheelchair unable to work herself. She has been flirting online with someone anonymous and when they go to meet she realises it is one of the bosses at her company called Trent and so she flees without staying.
Trent realises hes seen her at company meetings and has wanted her when he saw her in those. He can't let Hannah dismiss this attraction between them even though he doesn't want to love her.
Final thoughts
This was really hard to put down but really this relationship started quite toxic and improved when she sort of stood up for herself.
I thought Hannah was really great, she looks after her sister and supports them both and I thought she was quite strong. Trent is nice too if a bit closed minded with his view of doing business and relationships but sort of understandable once you get his back story.

Loved Hannah's character, but I felt like Trent's character was a bit too cocky to be realistic and believable. In the audiobook, it felt like Trent's narrator was going too fast and he often sounded like he was whining which isn't sexy in a bigshot CEO.

Bigshot Boss is an OK read. A story where you need something light and easy to pass a hot weekend. Since the weather has been so hot, I just kept myself in at home. So while passing time, I picked up Bigshot Boss.
The sexy banter is hot at the beginning. Then it is dwendling to mediocre. The plot is boring. Nothing new. The sex scenes also mediocre at best.
Well.... but the book served it's purpose by being easy reading.

Very formulaic with a lot of filler. The premise got a bit strained - why didn't they just text each other instead of sending emails? Much of the sexual aspect was just over the top. He's huge, he comes forever, she's soooooo tight. I searched and the word tight comes up 14 times in the book in relation to their sex scenes. Give me a break.
In the real world, I can't believe a woman would write about sexual fantasies with a man and then agree to meet him alone. Or have sex at work without locking the door. And the "oops I forgot condoms" moment was unforgivable. But it's all a fantasy. I enjoy falling-for-the-boss type romances in general and this was okay.

Really enjoyed this story. It has a good storyline that grabs you and you can't put it down. The characters are well written with great chemistry. This is an enjoyable read
