A steamy fast paced read, excited to read more on the series. Loved the cover with the colours also.

Just not for me I guess. I was so bored throughout the book and was tempted on DNF’in it. I just can’t recommend this .

This story follows Bridgett who works for a company and ends up accidentally sending her sex quiz to her boss. I read book 4 or 5 of the series and really enjoyed it so I wanted to check this out. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator’s voice. Her voice was really great and she did an amazing job with this book. I loved the storyline and was very invested in listening to the book. It was fun, entertaining and funny. I loved the dual povs of the book but can say that I didn’t like the narrator also doing the Mav’s voice.

Bridgett is the FMC of the story who doesn’t trust men after her experience in college. I loved her character and seeing the underdog get the billionaire men. Then we have Maverick who is just obsessed with Bridgett from one glance at her. I enjoyed his story and seeing him learn how to get Bridgett to trust him. They both have great character development throughout the book. There are many side characters in this book but they’re mainly the brothers who will be featured in the future books. The romance is friends to lovers, boss x employee and forced proximity with some very steamy scenes.

The ending was well done and overall I really enjoyed the book. I do wish there was a male narrator to do Mav’s voice to make this book so much better. It was just weird for me when the narrator was doing both that I didn’t really enjoy that. But the book is overall really amazing and I recommend checking it out.

3.75⭐️, 3🌶️

Fun Fact: this cover made me think that this would be a mountain small town romantic suspense. IT. WAS. THE. COMPLETE OPPOSITE 😂

I’ve had this on my TBR for so long (I’m so sorry NetGallry, this review is sooo old😅) BUT Hoopla added it to its audiobook catalog and I’m so glad I finally read it! Honestly if I knew this was a billionaire/ workplace/ fast paced spicy romance I probably would have read this earlier. It moved very quickly (loved the insta-lust) and the adorable double meet-cute had me smiling (my equivalent of LOL’ing).

🩷Accidental Spicy Email to Boss [Spoof of Sixteen Candles]
💖 Workplace Romance
🩷 Age Gap Romance
💖 Billionaire Romance

If you’re a fan of Marni Mann romances, this book has a similiar vibe - workplace, billionaire, insta-lust.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
This was a great billionaire romance!

How do you fill out a girl's night questionnaire about your romantic fantasies when your only time didn't even rate one spice level... and then the man ruined your life after? But the quiz is anonymous so why not? Bridget is having the worst day, accidentally spilling coffee on a stranger then finding out the stranger is her boss's boss Maverick James, then worst of all discovering that she sent her quiz answers to him instead of her best friend! Maverick had been dreaming of the woman in the coffee shop only to have her walk into the boardroom later that day. But she's so young and he's determined not to be like his father... until a certain email pops up in his inbox.
I enjoyed this spicy age gap office romance. Bridget was a little annoying and overly naive, but the way Mav is so protective of her is sweet and he doesn't seem like the pervy older guy type. I like the family dynamic between the brothers and I plan to read the rest of their stories.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I wanted to like it. I wanted to think it was cute. I could get past the just-above-wattpad-level writing and the repetitive language and even the instalove since it was more like instalust or instaintrigue. What I couldn't get past was the obsession this man has with the age and height difference. A 15 year gap can be overlooked when both parties are consenting, mature adults. So okay, cool, 22 and 37, sure (kind of, fictionally). But this dude literally would not shut up about "omg she's so small and wow I'm so huge and haha I'm such a cradle robber." Dude sounded like a perv and gave me the ick so 2.5 stars but I'm rounding down because Mav is not getting 3 stars no matter how considerate and attentive he was to her needs. His inner dialogue almost warrants a watchlist.

This was actually the most insta-lovey, cringey, and corny book I've ever read? I'm all for a small-town romance but man.... this was just not it haha. I might try more from this author at some point, but for now this is it my friends.

ARC received for review

When she accidentally emails her older boss her sex quiz, she thinks she fired. Instead her boss fulfills all those fantasies. And in the end there's an HEA.

This read was a quick, fun workplace romance read. It is part of a series and has some spicy-ness to it. I really enjoyed the meet cute of the main characters in it as well as the whole sexy quiz plot-line (like in Sixteen Candles)

She's half his age and good at math.

I liked that Bridget can do math in her head. She's only 22 and sent a sex quiz to her boss's boss, Maverick James. He's way older, like pushing forty (twice her age, fifteen years if you want to get techincal). He didn't notice her at first, but after a couple more glances, he was in to the way younger girl with little sex experience. He's all in.
Purchased.

Okay so this was definitely something I picked because it gave me Sixteen Candle vibes and I can’t tell if I loved or hated it. I think the author told us that the FMC was teeny and tiny about 10,000 times to the point where I got very annoyed. Otherwise, this was a Instalove that I read in two sittings - I could not put it down once I put all thoughts of the tiny little woman lead. The book is corny, it’s cheesy, and takes place all in the span of a day, basically, but it was a super quick, easy, steamy read to throw in at the end of the year to reach goal. I wanted a chill read with some smut and some of my favorite tropes and that’s what I got.

I received this book for free for an honest unbiased review from Netgalley.

I wish more books were this well written. Characters were witty and the setting fantastic.

Totally fell in love with with this book.... The sexual tension between Mav and Bailey are crazy hot.. The intense relationship makes it seem like they were together longer... Yes would totally recommend this book to anyone....

This was such a great book! I was hooked in the first chapter. I absolutely adore Maverick and Bridget together. I can't wait for the next one!

Thank you netgalley for the arc

Manhunt was a very quick and fast romance read, where a meet-awkward turns out to be the main characters boss. After attraction at first sight we follow whether or not they give in to it and what miscommunications will happen along the way.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

This was a fun book. Anyone who grew up in the 80's fully remembers when Samantha Baker accidentally dropped her completed sex quiz into the hands of her crush. And the hilarity and rom-com magic that ensued as a result. Manhunt is a play on that Sixteen Candles mishap with tons more spice. Vanessa Vale is an author who wasn't on my radar before I received this ARC, but I was happy to learn this is just the first in a whole series. I am a fan of instalove so this one really worked for me. Thank you to Valentine PR & Literary Management and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. 3.5 stars

This book is spicy in the best way. It covers many popular tropes such as Age Gap, Strong Possessive MMC, Small Town and Workplace Romance. There are lots of fun and sexy scenes. The author did a good job setting up the supporting characters. They were interesting enough to draw attention without taking the focus away from the main characters. It's fast-paced and doesn't slow. I look forward to reading more of this series. I really enjoyed the James's brothers.

Very much an insta-love concept - did not do it for me. It felt like a very rushed story, and although it was a quick read, it still missed the longevity I’d expect from some angsty characters

Man Hunt was a super cute, super fast read.

Bridget accidentally emails her CEO (a nice hunky older billionaire) a sex quiz meant for her friend and turns out to be one of the best things she's done.

Was this cute? Absolutely. Was it realistic? Not even a little bit -- they knew each other for TWO DAYS and they're in love? Was this deep? Not remotely. Did I care? Nope, I ate it up and already moved on to the next book in the series!

If you're looking for something light, cute, spicy, and quick, this is a great book to fill all those needs.
