Mr. Irresistible by Jodie Larson





BLURB

Mr. Irresistible.

It’s in black and white beneath his yearbook photo for all to see. Tyler Cannon: All-American jock, prom king, and our very own hometown hero.

A triple threat.

He was the most popular guy in school, getting whatever—and whoever—handed to him on a silver platter.

Even though we ran in similar circles and had most of our classes together, I was invisible to him. Not once was I ever his flavor of the week.

Not that I wanted to be.

Nope, not at all.

I mean, who would want his big, strong hands caressing their body or his green eyes piercing straight into their soul?

Ten years have passed, and my childhood crush has mostly dwindled. Sure, he still crosses my mind sometimes—mostly at night—but hardly a blip on my radar.

Until I find myself working as his personal assistant.

I spent years being invisible to this would-be god. I’d like to see him ignore me now.

Only, we’re constantly at war. Nothing good ever comes from wanting your boss. There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’re dancing precariously close to the edge.

AUTHOR BIO

Jodie Larson is a wife and mother to four beautiful girls, making their home in northern Minnesota along the shore of Lake Superior. When she isn’t running around to various activities or working her regular job, you can find her sitting in her favorite spot reading her new favorite book or camped out somewhere quiet trying to write her next manuscript. She’s addicted to reading (just ask her kids or husband) and loves talking books even more so with her friends. She’s also a lover of all things romance and happily ever after’s, whether in movies or in books, as shown in her extensive collection of both.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

 This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed this story. It is a forbidden type or romance but also is a second chance romance, has a secret identity, is a romance at work, includes a little stripping and also features a high school bully. 

This is a new author for me, so I was not sure what to expect. There were things I really loved about the story and things I did not. the things I liked far outweighed the things that didn't, and I found this an engrossing romance. 

This is the story of Maysen who is living with a friend and is jobless and homeless when the book begins. All her luck changes when she gets hired until she finds out that her old high school nemesis/bully, Tyler is her new boss. 

Tyler is the worst boss ever and she hates him when the book begins. But he actually appreciates her and treats her pretty well as a boss. But he also does not recognize her from high school. 

One of the things I did not like about Tyler was that he takes advantage of this woman at work who provides shall we say "benefits" every week. He thinks she is the W word, but he still has weekly sexdates with her while he is in his office. I found this icky, though when he takes up with Maysen, I was glad to see this no longer happens.

Maysen has an awesome roommate and friend who is a stripper. The stripper friend takes up with a friend of Tylers. And sometimes Tyler takes employees to this strip club. And sometimes Maysen performs in disguise. The whole strip club scenes were also gross. I loved the roomie, and I had no problem with her stripping but the bringing clients there and the whole boyfriend who was once a client thing did not work for me.

The things I loved about this story was how into Maysen Tyler becomes when he finally remembers her. I also loved how much he respected her and saw how smart she was at her job. I also loved how strong a character Maysen was and I loved how in charge she was with Tyler.  She knew her worth, and she made him give her the respect that she deserved.
