Giving Up the Boss has a beautiful cover and I fell in love with it at first site. The book it self was a little slow to work its way into my heart I felt the pace was very slow and it took quite awhile to get me to connect with the emotions of the characters. I will however read more of Victoria Davies, but as for this one it was ok but not my favorite,

Lori Carlow's days as being an executive assistant at Sinclair Enterprises are over, she is giving her notice, grabbing the last of her things and walking out the door, it's time to close this chapter on her life and create a new one. But when she tells her boss Jackson that she is ready to move on, and that there is nothing that will change her mind about staying he has a little trouble accepting it. He thinks they have a great thing going at the office and she is a vital part of making everything flow as it should, and he really doesn't want to lose that, but she can't go another day pining after him and him not even realizing that she has feelings for him. For years she has watched him whisk away starlets and models for a nights on the town, and every single time she has hoped that just for a second he would look at her like that, and take her out and wine her and dine her... but it's never going to happen!

So, she tells him one last time that her time at Sinclair is ending, and heads for the door, and once she is safely in her car she bargains with herself and agrees once she is in the confines of her apartment that she will let the tears flow, and finally let him go. But just as she starts to leave he darts out in front of her car, and she runs into him, and that one little bump creates a whole new host of issues for her that she is no where near prepared to handle. Now Mr. Sinclair is seeing her in a whole new light, and she isn't quite ready to break the truth to him and dim that light!

Giving Up the Boss is a charming little office romance tale that is sure to leave romance readers hearts rejoicing.. the story line is engaging, the characters are well crafted, and the happily ever after is quite promising! As soon as I read the synopsis for this one I knew it was right up my alley, and after reading it I am happy to report my instincts were spot on, these two took me on quite an enjoyable literary adventure, they made me smile, made me swoon, and they left my heart happy! If you like office romances heavy on heart, with some steam and humor sprinkled in here and there then I highly suggest you check this one out, you won't be disappointed with what you find!

I requested an advanced copy of this title, I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

This was a good quick read, the heroine was the typical secretary who has fallen in love with her boss who is oblivious to her. The accident and amnesia provided an interesting twist.

I was sucked in by the blurb for this book. It was a fun, entertaining read. I really enjoyed it. I will now go back and search for other titles by Victoria Davies to see what others I can read.

A sweet romantic story with a twist... or two.
Talk about starting off a relationship with a wallop! Executive Assistant Lori loves Jackson, the CEO where she works. But with a no-fraternizing policy, she can never let him know and decides to quit instead. Circumstances take a dramatic turn, and Lori is asked to save the day. Jackson, now with amnesia, not only becomes dependent on her but develops feelings for her. Lori struggles to keep her emotions in check but falls even more in love with Jackson. Will he still want her when, and if, he regains his memory? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

4 Stars! I really liked this book!! The banter between the 2 main characters was funny & flirty! Not sure why Lori, the female main character, fell in love with Jackson, the male main character, before his amnesia. He seemed like a real jerk! After his head injury, he became super sweet & I was falling for him too! I enjoyed reading this book quite a bit!! I definitely recommend it! If you like books about a handsome but cold/jerky billionaire finally noticing his assistant after getting hit by her car, getting amnesia & becoming a whole new man....than this book is for you!!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I truly enjoyed this book. It is a cliche, but fun. I laughed, and felt for the characters No spoilers, but this is a cute read. Well worth it. I would like to think I would have stepped up like Lori did. Sometimes I wish my husband had amnesia and acted differently! Lol. I think that most romance readers will enjoy.

Giving Up The Boss has some mild cussing (no f-bombs) and it does have on-page sex. Use your own judgment if sex in a book will cause you to leave a bad review.


The premise for this story is utterly ridiculous, but the execution resulted in a surprisingly fun, easy read. I very much appreciated the way that, because of his amnesia, Jackson and Lori developed an actual relationship before falling in love, and the way that Lori took care of Jackson as his most vulnerable time. Jackson was also a great character, despite his previous less-than-stellar behavior. I loved the way that he met her where she was, not expecting her to be anyone other than herself, and the fact that he didn't let her run away from him, even when she wanted to. The end of this story was sweet and the perfect way to deal with everything that had happened.

If you are looking for a light, easy read about two very likable characters, you'll enjoy this story.

Lori never imagined that she will end the day she quits her job by running over her boss. Now with a takeover threat over the company and Jackson having amnesia she has no choice but to be his shadow once again, and help save his company.
Lori already had feelings for Jackson but now spending time with this new Jackson, she starts falling deeper. But what will happen once he gets his memories back ?
I enjoyed watching the relationship change between Lori and Jackson. Jackson’s pursuit of Lori was totally swoon worthy. This book was a fun read, sexy and with witty banter.

Good story with plenty of steam and romance that keeps you coming back to find out what happens between Lori and her boss

I really loved loved this book and the relationship between the H, Jackson and the h, Lori.
Lori works for the cold, unfeeling Jackson and is in love with him but he barely notices her so she gives in her resignation. As she leaves the office she runs over Jackson and the romance ensues. Read this book. I HIGHLY recommend it

You may have day dreamed about running your boss over with a car, but Lori was having an entirely different kind of day dream about Jackson Sinclair. Being a shadow to a man as brilliant and gorgeous as Jackson became too much for Lori, so she quit her job and then ran over Jackson in the parking lot. It was an accident, really! Fortunately he only suffered a broken wrist and some memory loss (ok, total amnesia!)

With the family business in danger of being ruined by a hostile take over, Jackson's brother, Davis , must travel to broker an alliance with another company in an effort to say the business. He convinces Lori to stay and help Jackson through the next week of board meetings and office politics. Feeling guilty, of course she agrees, but will she come out of the arrangement with her heart in one piece?

Victoria Davies has a wonderful way with witty dialogue and a quick and totally engrossing plot line.

A massive thank you to the publisher and the author through NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

To be frank this book sounds promising at first. Lori was an Executive Assistant ready to quit her job because of her personal interest and her undying love for her multibillionaire boss, Jackson Sinclair. But she got one problem, Jackson had never shown any interest in her whatsoever. He even set the no-dating-rule at the office to prevent any conflict of interest from happening.

Okay, so what happened next? Lori was stuck with one decision, now that she got a bad case of unrequited love. Professing her love was out of the question. Instead, she packed her things and ran him over… with a car… in a parking garage… by accident, of course. To make matter worse, Jackson Sinclair suffered a temporary Amnesia with no guarantee of recovery.

With the company in trouble without Jackson’s lead, she was the one who had to make sure everything ran along fine and keeping Jackson on check without anyone knowing what happened.

As I said before, it sounds promising. But, there were things that bothered me throughout this book, mostly concerning the hero, Jackson. The person he was before and after the accident was like a totally different person. I get it that he had an amnesia but still the difference is very prominent to notice that it sounded unbelievable.

And then, Lori? She was way too head-over-heels with this guy that she barely had any character development. I’m a fan of romance but it felt too rushed and overrated for their part. All the hero did is pursue the heroine without any consideration of what’s best. I don’t know, he seemed a little selfish sometimes. Honestly, it was like reading a POV of a pre-pubescent kid who had his first crush on someone. Although I would say there were some moments where I felt giddy about their romance, overall it didn’t work out that great for me.

It was a light read which is fun and almost always enjoyable, I had fun reading this book because it was just easy breezy. There wasn’t any angst or necessary drama, it was a clean plot. What I really wanted though was more comedy thrown because with a plot like that? It should have one or two moments of crazy banter or antics. I really wanted it to be funny that I was somehow disappointed. There were just too many self-blame, doing what’s right, denials, and not enough fun! I mean the characters should have fun, at least!

All in all, it was 3.5 stars for me. If you’re looking for a light read and a book to get past your reading slump when you just want to start slow. Giving Up The Boss by Victoria Davies is perfect for you. So, don’t forget to look out for the publication date if you want a grab!

Easy like Sunday morning

If you like office romance novels and you're also intrigued by amnesia themed books, than this one should be just right for you to enjoy.

There's this executive assistant ready to quit her job <i>because she's in love with her boss</i>, who also runs him over with her car, which makes him forget everything and everyone. Then, you have them fighting to save the company. In the mean time, her boss wakes up as a changed man, a better one mind you, so there you have the love story.

I said it was easy <i>(though to be quite fair their journey has a few bumps down the road)</i>, because it didn't stir any emotion for me. Maybe i felt a little bad about our heroine's struggles between her mind and her heart, but that's it.

I enjoyed it, but it's not something I'll remember. Also, i should mention that it's my first amnesia themed romance, so I have nothing to compare it to.

4.5 Stars!

I had a blast reading this book. I loved Lori; she's so "normal" that she could be any one us. I really liked Jackson as well, but I'm not sure if I would have liked meeting the man he was before the amnesia. Luckily, we get the other guy in this book. This one has a really cute plot and is carried out to perfection. Every time I thought I had figured out what would happen next, I was wrong. The story is full of little twists that make it difficult to put down. This is the first book I've read by this author, and I'm so glad to have found her!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for generously providing an ARC for review.

Giving Up the Boss begins just like the title suggests. Executive assistant Lori Carlow quits her job because she has crush on her boss, Jackson Sinclair, who won't even look her way. Starting over and forgetting all about Jackson is all Lori wants to do, until she hits Jackson with her car.

I felt for Lori. She knew Jackson couldn't remember what happened and what would happen when his memory came back and he realized he didn't give her the time of day. Could her heart really survive that?

I absolutely loved Lori. She is strong, she is smart and she is sassy. Jackson on the other hand, he took some getting used to. Sure, when he didn't have his memories he was sweet, caring and nothing like everything described pre-accident Jackson.

Overall, I did enjoy this book. It was fun, it was sexy and the two main characters had amazing chemistry. I loved reading how Lori and Jackson's characters grew over the course of the story. I couldn't put this story down!

Lori has been the executive assistant to Jackson for years, watching him, loving him, but he has never noticed her. She is part of the wallpaper. She finally decides to quit. She doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life wanting something she can’t have. Problem is on the way out of the parking garage Jackson steps in front of her car and she hits him. When Jackson wakes up he has no idea who he is. His company is vulnerable to a take over and a CEO with amnesia could result in losing the company. Lori agrees to stay and help Jackson out til he regains his memory. Jackson is a completely different man than he was before the accident and suddenly he notices Lori. The new Jackson is a much nicer, more caring person.

This is a great romance read. I loved watching the relationship between Lori and Jackson change and grow. If you want a feel good romance this is the book for you. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

We meet Lori and Jackson in Giving Up the Boss. Lori has been Jackson’s executive assistant for years, but she has harbored a secret. She is in love with him,mbut doesn’t think that he could ever feel the same, so she resigns her position. As she leaves work, for what she tBelieves to be the last time, she accidentally hits Jackson with her car. Most of Jackson’s injuries were minor, but he does suffer amnesia. Lori finds out from Jackson’s brother that the company is at risk in a takeover bid, so she agrees to stay on temporarily in order to help Jackson try to cover up his head injury. Needless to say, despite Lori’s attempts to fight it, she finally gives in to her feelings for Jackson. She believes all along that their relationship will end as soon as Jackson’s memory returns. However, they do get their HEA. Ms Davies has a way of drawing her readers in and making them connect with her characters, and this book was no different. Well done!

Jackson needs Lori, that's not anything new. She's always kept his life in order. But this new Jackson needs her in a whole new way. Amnesia is just a stumbling block with Lori at his side.

I was a little worried going into reading this book. Unrequited love, amnesia, and he runs a billion dollar corporation? It seemed too much for one book.

I was pleasantly surprised, though, at how it all comes together as the story progresses. Business is a focal point of the plot, it really was the personal relationships I liked the best. Getting to know the characters through the dual POV worked well here. Even with Jackson having amnesia, it was nice to see things from his perspective.

I hope we get to see more of Lori and Jackson in the future! Maybe with books for a couple ofthe featured supporting characters.
