Overall, the theme of this book was quirky and lighthearted. Feel the ending left me hanging about the two main characters relationship and could've included more details about Ruby's friend Amie and her fiancé. Something like a teaser for their further adventures.

This was a very enjoyable book but I don't feel the book description does it justice. This book starts with Oliver, who is a guy with everything. He has his own megamillionaire type of company, the girlfriend, the best parents. Everything is great but he has just graduated college and he is burned out...so he takes off.

Then he gets a call. His parents are dead and they lied to him his whole life and the company needs him. But he is so angry at the world and his parents and he hates his own company but they keep bothering him to run it for him.

Meanwhile we meet Holland. The girl with nothing. No boyfriend, a job but not the one she wanted and so she works long hours to try and get that opportunity. The two end up meeting at a coffee shop and Oliver spots her working on this project for his company and he is inspired to help her.

She does not know he is the head guy, and so they work together. As she does not know who he is. It was not really a boss/employee relationship.. I felt it was more she doesn't know who he really is romance. with him incognito and him dealing with his pain of losing the parents he loved .

It was really great and I loved how into Holland Oliver was. The writing was really great too though this is my first story by this author. Though I will need to read more from her.

Mr. Big was a good read. I enjoyed both Oliver and Holland's characters and I enjoyed their back and forth banter. I also enjoyed quite a few laughs while reading this story. I could understand how from Holland's view, her image and what she accomplished would be seen as something else. Oliver didn't care, but I wanted him to be a bit more understanding and I also wanted Holland to see where he was coming from. I didn't really care for Holland forgiving him so easily. I wanted to see him beg a little for her forgiveness, she deserved it after everything she had to go through on her own, but I enjoyed the ending and the story overall. Would I recommend this book? Yes. It was a little predictable but it was a good read even though I didn't agree with the way the characters let simple things turn into huge somethings. I enjoyed it and I'm sure other readers will.

This is a love story, that has many emotional parts. You have Holland who is young and was abandoned at birth so she has grown up in different foster homes, but luckily she does have her foster sister Delia. She lives by plans, and wants them in order, so she sets out to conquer her first one, which is to be successful in her field, and while she is doing research, she meets Hale, who is disgruntled and he helps her out. Oliver is Hollands "Hale" but she does not know that he is the CEO of the company she works in, because of his appearance, and they start to fall in love, he does admit who he is, and she does not want people to think that she made it because of sleeping with the CEO, and then the drama begins. If I were her, I would have made him suffer a little more, but I did not write book.

Overall an ok read. The story started off strong. Oliver is hurting from the death of his parents (never told/ can't remember what happened ) and he is reeling from some big news (not shocking by any means). A grown man is now lost and acting like a drunk frat boy and not wanting to work because he is mad his parents "lied to him".

Then he meets Holland. She is the light in his life. He sees her as his salvation. He lies to her as to who he is and then the ball starts rolling from there.

I had a few issues with this book. My biggest being the way he treated Holland towards the end.
