Boss Man Bridegroom by Meghan Quinn
5.0

Full review and excerpt available on my blog, Laurie Reads Romance.

I did not expect it based on the book's title and description, but "Boss Man Bridegroom" by Meghan Quinn turned out to be a fantastic slow burn romance. The attraction between main characters Charlee and Rath slowly built but didn't reach a tipping point until nearly two-thirds of the way through the book. Both were reluctant to get romantically involved because of past hurts and the fact that they worked together, but eventually their feelings boiled over and couldn't be contained any longer.

I really appreciated that Rath never used his position as CEO to pressure Charlee for more than she was willing to give. They always seemed to act like equals despite the differences in their job descriptions. In addition, I loved Charlee and Rath's banter, especially the way they tested each other's limits and the funny nicknames Charlee gave Rath.

I found Charlee to be a very likeable and relatable main character. She seemed like someone I could be friends with in real life, mostly based on her love of historical romance novels and office supplies. She wasn't perfect, but she was a perfect match for Rath, and that's really all that matters. Rath's bromance with Bram was also a lot of fun, and reminded me very much of the relationship between JD and Turk on "Scrubs." My favorite part was when the guys started their own romance novel book club so that they could discuss their favorites. (Poor Charlee probably had no idea what a monster she was about to create when she convinced Rath to read that first historical romance!)

Overall, I loved "Boss Man Bridegroom" and will definitely be reading more of Meghan Quinn's books in the future.
