I love this broken billionaire meets super snarky but brilliant intern! My Linh was not always an intern at Damien's company. She first met him a year before, where she told him to eff off! A year later the internship she desperately needs is with none other than Damien's company. Her snark is still there, and though she tries to reign it in, he loves to provoke her so it naturally comes out. Damien is letting her shadow him as a favor, but soon he realizes he can't go a day without seeing her. Great story line, laugh out loud banter, and kickass characters, I loved it! I received this ARC from Bad Boy Updates.

This book was good. I always love a grumpy x sunshine book, however I appreciated the fact that Damien wasn’t ALWAYS a grump. I felt this was a really realistic depiction of a CEO romance (despite him not be the actual CEO but was the main boss of the Australian location of his family’s company). Finally, a man that is not always cold and mean for 60% of the book until suddenly he starts to show small smiles to the FMC only, Damien was intimidating but also human. Yes he could be mean and ruthless but he also made mistakes and showed he had a heart. I think that was my favourite thing about this book.
The reason for my lower rating was the anticlimactic ending of it all. I felt there was no like lead up to this huge shit show of events that was slowly emerging throughout the whole novel, just one day this women showed up and convinced him to marry her. Then that lasted about two pages before he decided he was going to break it off and grovel to the FMC, which was cute yeah but I didn’t feel like throwing my book at a wall (which admit it, is how you know you’re reading a five star novel)
That’s not to say I wouldn’t recommend this book. After a few books that left me with a bleeding heart, this was a nice casual read that mellowed me out and got me out of a possible book slump.

The idea of instant attraction to the point of obsessive objectification is super weird. Dude wants to fuck her at first interaction and just feels really creepy and not human. I know it’s a fantasy but I’m just not feeling it. DNF’d at 10%.

This was an easy and enjoyable read. Its packed with smut along with plot twists to keep you reading. I loved the FMC’s attitude and independence. Excited to read to the next books

I want to be very clear: this gets a 4 from me because of the smut. There are an insane amount of typos and grammatical errors. I’m left wondering: who edited this book? And did they not have access to basic spellcheck? Who is this editor living in the dark ages?

First off, someone pat me on the back. I can't believe I finished the whole book even after it made me cringe so many times - every time Damien called My-linn Kitten specifically. Although the story was all smut and bad decisions, I kind of enjoyed it?
I hated Damien Baxter's temper though - but loved his money. hehe. And of course, his personality and expressions of love blah blah blah.
The ending was shocking and adorable, I enjoyed it so... 2.7 stars.

It took me a bit to connect with this book, but once I did - I was hooked. I’m not a huge fan of billionaire romances but I truly enjoyed this one. I really liked that there ended up being a lot of depth to the Alphahole MMC and I love the snarky, original, realistic FMC.
My-Linh is a student looking to apply to the PhD program but her ideas lack the “bigger-picture” that her professor believes she needs so he recommends her towards a paid internship for a few months at Baxter Enterprises under the leadership of one of the Baxter Brothers, Damien.
