Boss Man Bridegroom by Meghan Quinn
5.0
5+ stars!!
Having only discovered Meghan Quinn late last year, I was excited to read a new book from her set in a new world. I loved her Baseball series of The Locker Room, The Dugout and The Lineup so I couldn't wait to see what her other books were like. And wow, did she not disappoint.
Boss Man Bridegroom was EVERYTHING you need in a romantic comedy and I am realising that Meghan always delivers these perfect hilarious books. It was so easy to read, I read it in one day because I fell that in love with the characters. Meghan's writing has a way of pulling you in, and making you feel a part of the friendship groups and relationships she writes about. But I am starting to learn that this is what every one of her books is like: two main characters which are so brilliant together it hurts, parts that are so hilarious you cry with laughter, some incredibly witty banter, some very sexy scenes, friendships that are almost as good as the romantic relationships, but overall it makes you feel happy and makes your heart ache. On top of all that, it's one of my favourite tropes, a boss-employee, fake-engagement but turns to more kinda book. I LOVED BMBG, everything about it is perfect!
BMBG begins at an office supply convention. Now I know what you're thinking, how can such a good book start here. Well, Charlee, the heroine is obsessed with all things office supplies, planners, colour coding, filing, everything organisation. I loved her personality, she was so quirky and different from the offset, and I couldn't help but be intrigued by her. She asks a gorgeous stranger to take a photo with her in front of the sign and he is less than pleasant towards her. Words are exchanged and it doesn't end politely. Later on, she runs into a former colleague and having been recently made redundant, he says he knows someone in need of an assistant and the job is perfect for her, and guess who the boss man is? The rude stranger from earlier in the day.
Rath is the CEO of his own multi-millionaire company, but can't for the life of him keep an assistant. When meeting Charlee, he is instantly drawn to her quirkiness and beauty, so hires her on the spot, despite their previous meeting and how she lies and insults him to his face. She's beautiful and different but despite being attracted to her, he knows from his past relationship what getting involved with his assistant can do, so promises himself that he will never do that again and Charlee will remain just his EA, no matter their chemistry.
Charlee literally turns Rath's dull monochromed world upside down, introducing colour and excitement into his day-to-day life. At first, he genuinely has no idea what to do but in the end he learns to just go with it and that actually, she's one of the best things to ever happen to him. However, when Charlee's nosy Grandma gets wind of their new working relationship, it goes from professional to personal in 0.3 seconds, although not everyone is as honest about their true motives from the beginning as others...
I absolutely loved reading about how Charlee and Rath's relationship progressed and blossomed. I felt like I went through everything with them, from their initial attraction, to frustration with one another and finally falling in love. Charlee is so different from any other heroine I have read, and she has become one of my favourites because of it. She is so sassy, fun, witty and strong-willed, she doesn't bow down to Rath and that's exactly what he needs in an assistant and fiancee. Rath was such a serious workaholic in the day but at night was a care free nice guy. I loved watching him finally reveal that side of him to Charlee.
However, coming in at a very close second of favourite relationship to Rath and Charlee's was the bromance between Rath and Bram, who's book I will now definitely be reading. I laughed out loud so many times when they were together and it made me so happy to see two men who weren't afraid to show how important their friendship meant to them. There are other side characters who are seen and I will definitely be reading their books, but Charlee's meddling Grandma is a favourite too!
Meghan is further pushing herself towards the top of my favourite authors list and I am so excited to work backwards through her past work! BMBG is one of my favourite reads of 2020 so far and I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us in the future! You NEED to read this book now!! This book deserves more than the 5 stars I rated it, and I don't say that very often!
