I really enjoyed this story but I felt like I have read this book before. That or the plot has been used before. It starts off with Lori who is in love with her boss, Jackson, who quits. Then she is so upset she runs him over. He ends up with amnesia and his brother asks her to move in and care for him while he tries to save his company.

The whole story just felt like I had read it before. It was a good story and was written, I just felt like I had read it before.

A slow burn, low heat romance between a billionaire CEO Jackson and his devoted personal assistant Lori. Lori just quit her job because she could no longer handle being invisible her boss, the man of her dreams. A accident will give them a second chance to find their way to each other. Lori is the kind of heroine you love to see get her well deserved happy ending. Be sure to read this delightful book, you will be glad you did.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy provided by Entangled Publishing/NetGalley.

Really enjoyable read.
At the start of the book, Lori just quit her job. She is in love with her boss, and can't stand to work so close to him anymore. As she leaves the building she accidently runs him over, putting him in hospital with amnesia - so he doesn't remember her quitting, but then he doesn't really remember her at all.
This new version of him is totally different, and while she stays on at work to help him till his memory returns, she realised she never loved him before, not like she does now she really knows him. But what will happen if his memory returns?

4.5 Stars!

Giving Up the Boss by Victoria Davies is a fast read that has a dash of naughty, a little spice and everything nice. I devoured this book hook, line and sinker. Each word, line and chapter reeling me in.

Lori Carlow is an Executive Assistant at Sinclair Enterprises. Or, she was, until she quit. On the day she gives her notice, she accidentally runs over her boss with her car.

Jackson Sinclair is a genius who controls the billion-dollar empire called Sinclair Enterprises. He now remembers nothing.

With Jackson now having amnesia, Lori must agree to continue on temporarily as his EA. There is a corporate takeover that is brewing and Jackson needs Lori more than he ever has

As Lori preps Jackson for important meetings, she sees a new side to Jackson. One that is a lot more caring and passionate.

Jackson now wants nothing more than he does Lori. She, however, is reluctant. He has never hinted or shown any attraction to her before the accident. Eventually, she relents and the passion between them explodes.

Will their new relationship survive if Jackson regains his memory? Or, will she have to give up the boss for good?

This is a wonderful book that I enjoyed thoroughly. I loved how the characters’ dynamic changed throughout the book. How Jackson becomes more selfless and Lori becomes a tad selfish to get what she wants.

The banter between them is entertaining and had me flipping the pages.

I loved Jackson’s character. He was kind, caring and loving with Lori however, I only fell in love with him at the end.

Lori was smart and sassy. I enjoyed seeing her take what she wanted after so long.

Everything about this book just worked for me. It was a fun, sexy and addictive read that surpassed all my expectations.

I read the author's previous book 'Right Billionaire, Wrong Wedding' in one sitting overnight and had to request 'Giving Up The Boss' when I saw it on Netgalley in the hopes that lightning would strike twice - and indeed it did! I blame Victoria Davies for making me stay up two nights in a row to finish her books, but I can't complain, it was a wonderful way to spend a rainy gloomy weekend!

If you have read 'Right Billionaire, Wrong Wedding', you may feel a slight sense of deja vu with this new release as it deals with a lot of the same themes - an executive assistant who is desperately in love with her cold remote boss and believing her feelings to be unrequited decides to quit her job. What I enjoyed was that 'Giving Up The Boss' is an equally engrossing look at the alternate path that the previous book could've taken - where Allison's main dilemma was trying to find the right time to tell her boss that she's leaving, Lori starts off this book by openly quitting and then being forced to stay to help Jackson with his memory loss. The dilemma now is whether it's ethical or not to start a relationship with someone who's lost their memory. I thought it was very clever of the author to take what could've been a mere regurgitation of her other book and turn it into something fresh and different, despite the near-identical premise. 

I love that Lori has the self-awareness to realize that pining for her boss isn't healthy when it's stopping her from living her life and decides to act in her best interests by leaving the company so she can be free. The first scene in the book is so compelling and crackles with intensity as she stands up for herself and refuses to back down in the face of Jackson's demands. We need more heroines with independence and grit like this!

While I have a guilty fondness for boss/employee romances, what frustrates me a lot of the time is how easily the characters fall into bed with each other - it makes me wonder why NOW when they've worked together for so long. The author shows her work by carefully developing the characters and making it believable that they would wind up consummating their relationship. I respected Lori so much for deciding that she should resist Jackson's advances, even though she'd been in love with him for years, because she didn't want to take advantage of the situation - there's a heroine worth cheering for! And I was hooked on the intrigue over whether or not Jackson's memories would return and how it would affect his personality and their relationship. It made for great suspense! 

The main issue I had that detracted from the storyline somewhat was Lori's excessive guilt for running Jackson over - it makes it sound as though she was definitely at fault, but from the description of events, he steps out in front of her car! Yes, she was going a bit too fast, but if someone deliberately blocks your car, I don't think it's fair to say the blame is entirely on the driver! It would be one thing if she was the only one that held herself accountable because that could be written off as an emotional reaction, but there's no suggestion that this is a subjective finding of guilt as other characters also back the idea that she's to blame.

She also never wonders why it is that Jackson was down in the parking garage in the first place - it's pretty obvious to the reader that he was pursuing her in dramatic fashion as it typical in rom-coms, but I suppose Lori couldn't be allowed to consider that as she was meant to despair over her unrequited passion for him. Also, Jackson probably could've picked a better way to act on his feelings - it's not like she was getting on a plane to leave the country, he didn't have to throw himself in the path of her vehicle!

In summary: This was a fantastic read, very easy to get into and difficult to put down as proven by my need to stay up til 2am finishing it! The hero and heroine are charismatic and endearing, I loved their interactions with each other and the delicious sexual tension between them. Highly recommended!

LOVED this book! We meet Lori as she's resigning from the executive assistant position for Jackson. Then she hits him with her car and he ends up with amnesia. Lori moves in to help him and begins to have an even more difficult time with her attraction to him. But, amnesiac Jackson is smitten with Lori, too, so before long they're acting on their attraction. However, Lori knows its temporary and only until Jackson's memories return. In the meantime, she'll enjoy the romance and help Jackson keep his injury as secret from his board of directors.

This is a well crafted tale that made me feel invested in the characters and hopeful for them to have a HEA. Fans of the genre will love this book. - it should come with a swoon alert warning. The author is on my must read authors' list and, if you're a fan of the genre, should probably be on yours as well.
