What a great office romance this proved to be! He has a reputation for being a mean, arrogant boss and she's his PA - until he makes one comment too many and she quits. He then ends up looking after his baby niece and is desperate for India to help him again. She eventually agrees - but only after negotiating herself a great deal . . . or is it such a great deal when seeing him with the baby has her dreaming?


This is a fun read with an arrogant boss being brought down to earth dramatically by both having to deal with a baby and acknowledging his feelings for his PA. The attraction between the two is irresistible, especially as they work based in his home instead of his office. Looking after the baby is just the trigger for a fun romance where reality just has to be faced up to for them to have their HEA.


I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it.

I love office romances and this one was so amazingly good. I loved every bit of it and wish it had been longer. Katy Evans is one of my favorite authors and she surpassed all my hopes for this romance. Highly recommended!

I first read about William in BOSS, and I was curious about him. Now I'm just in love with him.

This story about William and India was funny and sexy. The beginning of their story is a little bit like Kit and Alex story, with the animosity and the enemies-to-lovers vibe, but at the same time it wasn't the same, because Will and Indy's personalities are different, and also the situations were different.

I had a lot of fun reading BIT SHOT. It was a quick read, with its sweet and romantic moments, and the ocasional cameo of the previous characters. Will is a nasty boss, but he's also a lovely character. India is baddass! Strong, smart and witty, I loved her! Also, her friend Montana was so cool I want her as my friend too.

I really really liked this book. I think I've developed "a thing" for sexy millionaire bosses and quick-and-fun office romances.

BIG SHOT by Katy Evans is a short, fast-paced read that takes place in the Windy City. It is a workplace romance between CEO William Walker and his assistant, India Crowley. They have been working together for years with William treating India like a doormat most of the time. Despite that, India is a strong woman and knows how to push William's buttons. They both work very hard, however, William is a workaholic. India spends her free time writing her novel and knows that one day she will be able to pursue her passion for writing professionally. There has always been an underlying attraction between the two.

Luckily for India, she receives a job offer and is able to quit both her job and William. Naturally William is shocked, however, he has no choice but to accept her resignation. A few days later, William is saddled with watching his infant niece for two weeks. As a result, he asks India to come back for the short-term, in order to keep his business in order while he takes care of his niece. India agrees, after negotiating a rate of three times her former salary. Working from William's home brings them closer together, and they truly get to know each other, both in and out of the bedroom.

This was a cute story and I loved the way William took care of his niece. Babies have a tendency to break down barriers, and William's ability to be a loving uncle improved with each day. Connecting with India was a bit difficult because I found her to be cold and a bit calculating. Their sexy times were hot and sexy. Overall, a solid romantic read.

Big Shot by Katy Evans is a steamy enemies-to-lovers office romance. India has had enough of her boss. He is arrogant and cold. So, she hands in her resignation and walks away. Then Will finds himself in need of help. He grovels and gives her an offer she cannot refuse. Suddenly she is seeing him in a new light.

Will is demanding and rude and used to getting what he wants. India is feisty and smart. She has never bent to Will’s needs, but suddenly they are working very close together and lines are being blurred. A sexy and steamy read and though Big Shot by Katy Evans can be read as standalone, it is a follow-up to Boss that features Will’s brother, Kit.

Happy reading!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Desire for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. A very convoluted but basically assistant falls in love a boss. India quits because William is cold and grumpy but.he talks her into helping him out when he ends up babysitting his niece. William is a smart challenges guy with odd hangups but basically an ok guy. I didn't really get the.chemistry but it reads ok. I rate this a 3.

4.5 🍒🍒🍒🍒popped!

Totally enjoyed this quick & sexy read by Author Katy Evans.

William & India kept me entertained with their pull back and forth with each other.
India coming to William's rescue when he needs it had me swooning. She knew she couldn't resist helping him even though he drove her nuts.
Great banter, sexy, swooning moments that make this book one to pick up and enjoy.

BIG SHOT by Katy Evans is the story of William Walker and India Crowley.
William is a workaholic who has built Walker Industries which is one of the biggest online game companies. Which has also left him with being sometimes harsh and thought to be cold due to his main focus being building that company. India was his assistant until she go a better offer and just couldn't take his attitude anymore. But now he is left in a bind when he has to look after his infant niece and he turns to India for help. This puts them into working in a more personal environment that shows a different side of him.
Enjoyed their story.

Big Shot by Katy Evans is an enjoyable quick read featuring an enemies to lovers romance. Lots of steam and great chemistry between the characters.

Big Shot by Katy Evans blends the office romance with a forced proximity and an enemies to lovers bent into a quick read! Will and India do NOT get along. India hates how rude Will is and she finally quits...but then agrees to come back for 2 weeks.

Will is emotionally stunted and I wish this character trait was a bit more fleshed out. He is so different from his brother, yet Will blames his behavior on always trying to please his father. It made him seem like a very static character. But, he does have some character growth and he gets some support from his father and brother which helped bolster their relationships as well. India is a smart woman who put up with her job for longer than most people would have. She and Will could be a bit immature in their actions toward one another which was odd since they were both successful professionals. I guess its kind of like that time in kindergarten when you liked a boy and expressed that by calling him names and he responded by stealing your stuff: Juvenile but a little adorable to watch.

Big Shot by Katy Evans had some flaws that didn't make it a stellar read for me but I think the book will tick a lot of boxes for many readers. The sexual tension in the hate to love you vibe of Will and India is palpable and the forced proximity of them working from his home really adds a layer of strain to their situation. Add in a cute baby who is teething and you have an adorable workaholic hero with a lack of social graces and an assistant who, despite her protests to the contrary, seems to care for him regardless.

Big Shot by Katy Evans is a quick read full of sexual tension, a bit of angst, a brooding hero, a sassy as hell heroine, and an adorable baby who is determined to teach her uncle there's more to life than work.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. 

This is a quick Contemporary Romance.  India Crowley works for a hard to please billionaire.  When she finally turns in her notice he's stunned.  Though there's a project he needs her help with and only India can help him with this pickle he finds himself in. 

As these two find themselves working together in a closer more intimate atmosphere they're learning what make each other tick.  This could cause some issues with boss + assistant but neither wants to face that music.

I enjoyed reading their romance story.  Like I said, it's a quick read but enough to give you a good glimpse of the characters and what makes them tick.

Love William and India's book. I would say this an enemies to lovers that develops into something more. If you love Katy Evans, then you will love this book.

I like books like Big Shot, partly because you can read them in a day or so, partly because of the whole falling for your boss theme. It's a little taboo, against the rules, and this one already has a year of tension for them to overcome. I mean, some of the side character moments seemed rushed, but it's a short book. It was entertaining, and romantic, with a romantically awkward hero and a sassy assistant. I enjoyed it.

⭐️ 4 "Man of Stone" Stars ⭐️
Big Shot is a rather short read that was very enjoyable. I like a good office romance with moments of laughter and crazy chemistry! It is exactly what Katy Evans provides with this story.

India is so tired of her boss’s brash behaviour toward her that when a new job opportunity presents itself, she quits! There’s so much animosity between her and William, but it’s also clear that there’s a mutual attraction. When the taciturn man is faced with the challenge of taking care of his baby niece for two weeks, he needs his assistant back. After some hard negotiation, India accepts on her terms and the real fun starts.

William is a really aloof man and doesn’t express himself easily. That’s one of the reason he’s so difficult with the young woman, but working from home shows another facet of his personality that is quite sweet and more relaxed. India discover the true man behind the hardness and their tangible magnetism only simmers with each new day! The slow build of their romance is really beautiful. They ultimately bring the heat to a scorching level that was absolutely delightful!

Big Shot was really pleasant and procured me a few hours of witty and spicy moments.

Big Shot by Katy Evans is a sexy office romance told from both William and India’s point of view. Big Shot can also be read as a standalone but is better read after reading Boss by Katy Evans.

About Big Shot:

The worst part of work for India is dealing with her ass of a boss William. The best part about her job is having the ability to look at her drop dead sexy boss whenever she wants. But sometimes enough is enough and this girl needs to find a new job. When she receives a freelance writing opportunity, Indie all but throws her resignation and a good riddance in William’s face. So it comes to a shock that he’s now calling her asking her to come back for two weeks, he’ll even pay her double what he paid and cab fare. Sometimes money speaks and it’s spoken to the right person.

William is in dire need of help, he’s on babysitting duties for the next two weeks, and the only person he trusts with his niece Rosie is the bombshell who just threw her walking papers in his face. What’s a man to do but call, grovel, and throw in a few extra bucks in order to get his way.

When India accepts his offer and his proposal that she works from his home office, she thinks she knows what she’s getting herself into…. Until she steps foot in the lion’s den.

My Thoughts:

Katy Evans is one of my autobuy authors. She’s been a favorite of mine from the very start. But as I learned in my reading life history, you’re not going to absolutely fall head over heels in love with everything a favorite author rights. It’s a process you have to set yourself up for. With that being said, I liked Big Shot, but I didn’t fall head over heels in love over this novel.

I liked the fierce and sassy spirit that India throws into this novel. She had me laughing and cheering her on during her quitting moment. I loved her feisty attitude towards William. She’s the woman who refuses to fall at his feet, and that’s something this CEO isn’t used too. Of course, this moment is a bit cliched now, but I still loved it all the same.

I also loved the beginnings of William’s babysitting duties. I loved how this calm, cool, and collected boss instantly crumbles under the pressure of watching a baby on his own. I also loved how he showed a softer side when in Rosie’s presence. It warmed my heart seeing this man holding onto his niece and preparing to do everything it takes to get her to stop crying. I loved these moments most.


Now onto the reasoning behind why I only gave this novel a 3 star rating. I was looking forward to the overwhelming chemistry that comes with a novel written by Katy Evans, Sadly, I Didn't feel the chemistry between India and William that I wanted. I wanted more longing glances and come hither looks.Because I didn’t connect with the main characters chemistry, the relationship felt a little off for me. I just needed more from these two.

Overall, I liked Big Shot but this wasn’t a love for me; and believe me when I say, I wanted to love the hell out of this novel. I’m still looking forward to seeing what Katy Evans has up her sleeve next. Here’s to hoping her next novel is chalked full of heart gripping chemistry. I’m still a fan for life!

William is the boss from hell! India has had enough of his demeaning, rude behavior. She quits in a spectacular way. Finally she's able to tell him off! What a jerk! Too bad she also thinks he's hot! When William heard how horrible he treated India, he begins to reevaluate his life. That's when life throws him a curve ball, and he desperately needs India's help. She agrees to help him, only because he's trippling her pay. At least that's what she tells herself. This is a sweet, sexy read that I loved!

Big Shot by Katy Evans is one of this years most anticipated reads for me. I just knew going in I was going to fall in love with it. I loved the arrogance of the main character it made him unique and me like him even more! A great read!

Big Shot is a fast paced enemies to lovers workplace romance. I was totally hooked from the very first page. It was impossible to not fall for India. India is hard working and good at what she does. While she makes good money, she can't help but want more from her life. And it doesn't help that her boss is a jerk with a capital J! William is arrogant and speaks first and thinks later. He's used to having his way and never having anyone talk back. So, when India quits her job, it throws him totally for a loop. To make matters worse, William has just agreed to watch his baby niece for the next two weeks. He's struggling to balance work and caring for his niece. He doesn't know what to do, so ends up calling India and hopes that she will help him out one last time...

Overall, I found this book to be a quick and enjoyable read. I am a sucker for enemies to lovers romances and could not wait to dive into this one. I will say that William and India's story had a bit of an insta-love quality to it, but I kind of expected that since this was such a quick read. That being said, I did enjoy William & India. I loved their banter and the tension between the two of them. It was a lot of fun watching the two of them and seeing them try to make sense out of the chemistry between them. 

Big Shot was a fun read, from beginning to end. I enjoyed the characters and their story-line and had a great time just getting lost in their story. Big Shot had some great tension and banter. I enjoyed the will they/won't they moments. I loved the romance and sweet moments and the little drama in between. All in all, a fun read to spend your day getting lost in.

I probably should start the review with sharing that I really don't care for 1st person narration- though I would not give a book a negative star rating solely based on narration, however it does play a factor in this review. I found the writing to be clunky, lacked flow and had a very informal writing style that I do not usually see in Harlequin books. Putting aside the writing style I was prepared to be entertained - yet I found both characters to be unlikable and the story was boring, leading to a lot of skimming and flipping pages. Overall, this story was not for me but maybe it will be for you. *I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.
