We’ve all had at least one boss who we’ve fantasised about being in a position to give them absolute hell without fear of consequences. Well, after winning the lottery, Kiersten gets to live out all our fantasies, and all is fair in love and war!

This style of story is by its nature, predictable. Feelings of frustration and being unappreciated turn to love. However, the journey to how this happens makes this story unique and a laugh from beginning to end!

After winning the lottery, Kiersten decides to give her boss some payback and an office pool is quickly made up betting on how long it will be before Kiersten’s demanding boss fires her for her sudden change in work ethic. The problem is, Cole, Kiersten’s boss, quickly becomes aware of what she is doing and all bets are off. She’s determined to be fired; he’s determined not to let her win. Let the games begin!

It is hard to talk about this book without giving everything away, so I won’t say anything more except... staples, strip clubs, a retreat from hell, and copious amounts of alcohol all mashed together with lots and lots of laughs.

This writer had an engaging writing style. It took me a couple of chapters to really get into it. I’m not sure if I was in a bit of a funk or if it just took time to adjust to the story/pacing etc, but by chapter three I was hooked.

This book was funny, sweet, romantic, and just a little bit evil. A most wonderful combination.

I would recommend it for anyone looking for a fast paced, light, stress free read that has more than a few laugh out loud moments.

Kiersten has been running Cole’s life for the last six months and she does it flawlessly. He needn’t even think what he requires and it’s provided. She is the perfect personal assistant. Until she isn’t.

Kiersten wins the lottery and instead of immediately resigning from her torturous job, she decides to get a little revenge on her control freak boss. Cole was alerted to her plans when he learned about a betting pool regarding how long it would take him to fire her. He’s on to her. If he fires her she will receive a huge severance pay and that just won’t do. If she’s leaving, she’s going to have to quit. And so it begins.

This crazy fun book had so many laugh out loud moments my cheeks started to hurt from smiling so much. I liked both Kiersten and Cole and the constant battle for winning the war. There isn’t any real drama or angst here except toward the end when they are confronted with a conflict.

The steamy times don’t hit until around the 75% mark but I didn’t really miss it. Although I did feel that once they took that step they were just suddenly so syrupy sweet with each other and that was a little jarring.

The secondary characters were hilarious! Brooks gave us some amazing one liners and oh my, I do hope we get a story about him! And Izzy and Cass, and Harrison and Christopher. Well, you understand.

This is the perfect book to sit back and just relax. Lighthearted, flirty, fun and absolutely adorable.

Dual POV
Safe
No Triggers

OK, I had to get over the whole implausible winning-the-lottery thing. But after I did, I enjoyed this frothy contemporary romance where the smart as a whip girl assistant takes her chance to tell the asshat boss what she really thinks of him. But of course he’s not your every-day asshat boss! He is a handsome hunk of man who decides to play along with her attempt to get herself fired.

The banter between Kiersten and Cole is funny, and between the main characters and their best friends is even more fun. If Kira Archer does a next-in-series, I vote for Brooks!

Oh my goodness. my friend recommended this and I am so glad she did! I am not a laugh out loud person. when I say a book makes me laugh, it's really a smile or a laugh in my head, it's rarely an actual laugh. This book made me actually laugh out loud, several times especially the parts with the mother, oh my goodness i couldn't stop laughing. this is a romance so if that's not your jam, stay away. but honestly, it's not *that* sexy so unless you're a total prude/heart of stone, you might enjoy it. basically it's a hate to love story, in the challenge of who can blink first they end up falling in love. it's not overly dramatic or angsty but it's not boring either.
this is such a cute, light, quick story and i highly recommend it.

4.5 stars

69 Million Things I Hate About You by Kira Archer was such a fun and entertaining read.

The storyline well written, the plot entertaining and watching the relationship between Cole and Kiersten unfold kept me turning the pages.
They made me laugh and they made me swoon, these two were perfect for each other and totally belonged together.

If you're in the mood for a well written, fun, sweet romantic read then you'll love 69 Million Things I Hate About You.

This book is hilarious. I was cracking up reading this book. The battle between Cole and Kiersten is too funny. Kiersten just got promoted to work with the most difficult boss but she needs the money. When her financial situation changes so did her work ethics. As they spend time together they discover so much more about each other. Recommended read.

One of the most entertaining books I've read this year! Hilariously funny with some amazing characters. I hope we are going to see some of theses secondary characters in the future!! The overall story is fresh and interesting with a quick easy flow. Seriously everything about this one will leave you smiling. From the names Cole comes up with for Kiersten to the office antics and Kiersten's day out with Cole's mother you will be laughing so hard you'll have tears in your eyes.

This is an absolute must read! I highly recommend it.

Three and a half stars.

This reminded me of one of my favourite RomCom films, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. Kiersten and Cole have been in a mild flirtation since she started work for the impossible billionaire - I LMAO when he made her lay out his underwear each day as well as his clothes to match his diary activities! But things really escalate when she and her two roommates win the lottery. Cole's last assistant quit when he asked her to rearrange her wedding day (the day before) because he needed her to attend a meeting with him. In order to avoid a similar situation Kiersten and Cole write some additional clauses into her employment contract which penalise her if she quits but penalise him if he fires her. Now that she has nothing to lose, Kiersten decides Cole should suffer for being such a terrible boss and thinks the best way to do that is to behave so badly that he has to fire her. So she behaves more and more outrageously every day. Unfortunately, the support staff use the group calendar to run a book on how long Cole will last before he fires her - and Cole finds out. Then there is a war between them as each one pulls more and more outrageous stunts.

It was silly and flirty and funny and I loved it.

Then the two of them got together and there seemed to be a lot of sex. It felt that two-thirds to three-quarters of the book had been the war between Cole and Kiersten so the author (maybe) felt that she needed to cram the obligatory four sex scenes per book into the final quarter - that's how it felt to me. Maybe I'm just getting old but I seem to raise this complaint nearly every time I review a book!

Anyway this is clearly the set up for a series, Cole is friends with a group of other billionaires who play poker together so I expect to see each of them fall in love in due course.

Overall, I enjoyed this war of the sexes and look forward to reading other books in the series.

Again Ms Archer has taken me to a place were I could immerse myself in hilarity, romance, and an ingeniously witty and smart story. The creative extent that Kiersten goes to in the name of revenge, will keep you laughing page after page...especially with Cole's reactions to the levels she'll go to in the name of winning at all costs. His circumventing her maneuvering brings its own level of comedic outcomes at every turn.

With Cole and Kiersten you have employer and employee who are drawn to each other through the premise of one upmanship with hilarious and unexpected results. They both have met their match in the name of not letting the other get the upper hand. Since Cole knew what she was up to all along, though not knowing what was were Kiersten’s motives, the unexpected was always just around the corner...that brought new meaning to creative payback.

I continue to watch for Ms Archer’s stories, I know I’ll always dislike having to say goodbye to characters like Kiersten and Cole, that are unforgettable.

Review by Amanda for Love Romance Book Blog

69 Million Things I Hate About You is a cute, funny story. I even laughed out loud at some parts. I liked that as Kiersten was exacting her revenge, that she was conscious of not doing any lasting damage. This is the first book I've read by Kira Archer but I'm interested in reading others.

69 Million Things I Hate About You, Kira Archer

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance

I really enjoyed the humour in this story, both Cole and Kiersten have some cracking lines that had me sniggering. I think the Amish County weekend was my favourite _ I could just picture the expressions, the looks on peoples faces. 

Its not heart-stopping drama, but then this is the Indulgence imprint, more about feelgood books and happy endings than anger and angst. It is a teeny bit predictable in a couple of places but that's fine, didn't spoil the story. 

The characters were good, Kiersten and her friends, Cole and his mates, his mum - what a great lady, I loved the Harry and Krispin scene, what fun that was.
I liked the way all the staff were in one what was going on, that Cole had a view on what but not why, and that Kiersten didn't know that he knew....it all added up to a fun read, a way to leave dull everyday problems behind, and do just what the imprint asks, Indulge in a story to make you feel good.

Stars: four, a fun escape that will make you smile

Terrific story! I was completely caught up in this story. It made me laugh out loud and worry about their HEA at the same time. Wonderful characters and fun snappy dialogue. A must read!

Stupendously funny. I just loved this book! Cole and Kiersten are hilarious together. Kira Archer knows how to pen a good story!
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley.

This was an interesting and different kind of story. Two very intelligent people who seem totally different......arrogant rich boss....efficient, not so rich assistant.... totally not made for each other...right?? Through a series of very creative ways to try and get fired, Kiersten screws with Cole. The game is on providing many laughs. Read this story and see you wins!!!

Cole Harrington is a gorgeous, demanding, workaholic billionaire, who tells his long suffering assistant that she should reschedule her wedding, which she has been planning for over a year, as it is in he same date as a conference in which he is the keynote speaker. She quits and hand over the keys to second assistant, Kiersten Abbott. The job of the assistant is to make his job easier. Cole is immediately attracted to her, but he has a policy of never mixing business with pleasure and because of past experience he doesn't trust that a woman would be attracted to him- only his money. Yet, he does seem to enjoy playing with her, by never calling her by her correct name. After about 6 months of being run ragged, Kiersten and her two best friends win a lottery for 68 million dollars. But instead of quitting Kiersten decides to start messing with Cole and force him to fire her. All three girls work for the same company, and while they hire a lawyer to get the legalities in order before they claim their prize, The Termination Pool begins at the company as to whether Kiersten will quit or Cole will fire her and the date. Cole catches wind of the Pool and so the games begin. It has been a long time since I have laughed so much reading a book, which is one of the reason I gave it 5 stars. I definitely recommend this book, especially to someone who could use a good laugh. And of course there is a HEA.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

Kiersten works as assistant to the impossibly demanding Cole Harrington (his previous assistant quit when he expected her to move her wedding at the last minute to accommodate him). Then Kiersten wins $69 million in the lottery, but, rather than quitting her job, decides to enjoy herself by pushing Cole to fire her for unacceptable behaviour. Cole finds out that she is trying to get fired (but not why) and fights back by putting up with her pranks, forcing Kiersten to escalate them.

I found this entertaining, especially the evening Kiersten spends with Cole's mother and the poker weekend she arranges for Cole and his friends in a very unlikely location. Cole seems to undergo something of a personality change (from utterly unreasonably demanding to caring and pampering) during the book, which was perhaps not entirely convincing. This would make a good movie.

What a wonderful, hilarious rom com! Loved every bit of the book!

I received this book free through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I found the premise to be interesting and the characters at first to be fun. After a while, the fighting and one up manship between the two seemed a bit much and it really seemed not to be worth it why either one would stay in the arrangement without quitting/firing the other.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. This is hands down one of the best books that I have read in a very long time. I didn't want to put it down. This is the story of a woman named Kirsten who is the personal assistant to a very, very wealthy Cole Harrison. She does everything for him and is on call pretty much 24/7. After winning a substantial amount of money she decides that instead of quitting she'll have some fun with her boss first and try to get fired instead. That way it's a little bit of payback and she'll receive a nice severance package too. The things that she says and does are so out of character for her. I can't even tell you how many times I was reading and would start giggling out loud. I was able to vividly imagine all the scenarios. GREAT book. I hope they make a movie from this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was very funny, sweet and sexy! My favorite part was Kiersten's night out with Cole's mom! Hilarious! This book is a great take on the boss/assistant trope. I'm looking forward to reading more by Kira Archer.
