The Boss Project by Vi Keeland
4.0
This book had me hooked from the very first scene! Picture this: I’m rooting for the main character even as she argues with her future boss... while standing in her bra. The humor, the chemistry, and all the witty banter between Merrick and Evie make The Boss Project such a fun read.
Why I Loved It:
- Evie: She’s smart, sassy, and so relatable. I love how she stands her ground, even when she feels like life is throwing her curveballs. Her job as a therapist is woven into the story in such an interesting way, especially with how it brings her closer to Merrick.
- Merrick: He’s the perfect mix of brooding alpha and vulnerable softie. His past is heartbreaking, but it makes him such a layered character. Watching him open up to Evie was so satisfying.
- The Chemistry: Slow burn perfection! The tension between Evie and Merrick had me flipping pages like crazy. Their moments together are full of sparks and those “just kiss already!” vibes.
- Kitty: Merrick’s cheeky, meddling grandmother is a total scene-stealer! Her matchmaking antics are hilarious and add so much warmth to the story.
- The Balance of Humor and Emotion: While there’s plenty of laugh-out-loud banter, this book also tackles grief, trust, and healing. The emotional depth caught me off guard in the best way.
What Could Be Better:
The pacing dragged just a bit in the middle, and the conflict near the end felt a little predictable. But honestly, the resolution was so sweet, I didn’t mind too much!
Final Thoughts:
The Boss Project is classic Vi Keeland: witty, steamy, and heartfelt. If you love slow-burn workplace romances with a splash of humor and a side of emotional depth, this one’s for you! Evie and Merrick are total relationship goals. And Kitty? She’s the grandmother we all wish we had.
