Victoria Green CEO of Green&Sons, she is running it the company for her father. She picked up the reins from her brother Terry who was basically leaving them almost bankrupt. She did worked hard and turned the company back around. She meets Dean Carry is on call handyman.

Dean Carry hasn't lived an easy life lost both his parents at a young age. Had to drop out of college and take care of his 6 year old sister Katy. He works all kind of hard labor jobs. Dean saves Victoria from her attacker trying to kill her. He gets an offer from his boss, but he counters her offer. Things get pretty interesting and hot!

I liked it this book. I have to admit that I was dragging my feet about reading this. I've read the other two books in this series. They were good, but maybe I like this one because it's a FEMALE CEO.

Will be posted up on blog tour date.

This is book three in the series and I haven't read the first two. However, this is a stand alone and the only reason I am thinking of reading the first two is because I enjoyed this book so much. Dean is a handyman living paycheck to paycheck and he is a single father to his younger sister and has been since he was 18 and she was 6. He dropped out of college to take care of her. Victoria is the wealthy CEO of a multi-billion dollar retail store. She is business minded and she focuses on work and not her personal life. They are pretty much opposites in personality...and you know what they say.....opposites attract. This is a good story that held my interest...the pace is good, the characters are likable and believable. I hate to read a book when I can't stand one of the characters.This is the first book I have read by Mallory Crowe, but it won't be my last. If you are looking for a good read I highly recommend this book.

Oh my. Loved it! A good hot romance.

3.75 stars-- TEMPTING THE BOSS is third stand alone novella in Mallory Crowe’s adult, contemporary Billionaires in the City romance series. This is CEO/billionaire businesswoman Victoria Green, and repairman Dean Casey’s storyline. We were first introduced to Victoria and Dean in book 2-Teasing the Boss. TEMPTING THE BOSS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. There is some timeline crossover between book 2 and the current storyline.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Dean and Victoria) TEMPTING THE BOSS focuses on the attacks against Victoria Green and the investigation into who is responsible. After saving Victoria from an attack at a business function organized by event planner Grace Bell (Teasing The Boss), Dean declares himself Victoria’s personal bodyguard until otherwise notified. When a trip out of town results in another attempt at Victoria’s life, Dean begins to suspect someone close. What ensues is Victoria’s denial of what Dean believes is the obvious, and Dean’s attempts to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship is one of immediate attraction but Victoria and Dean travel in completely different social, economic and personal circles. Victoria is billionaire businesswoman whose father is gravely ill; Dean is a repairman who has been raising his younger sister since the death of their parents, years before. What ensues is a sexual relationship that comes with an expiry date if and when Victoria’s attacker is caught. Mallory Crowe kicks up the $exual eroticism in TEMPTING THE BOSS-the $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include cameos from Grace and Simon (book2) as well as Dean’s younger sister Katy; Victoria’s brother Terry and his new fiancée Joslyn Devaroux return home to sit vigil over Victoria and Terry’s dying father. One of Victoria’s personal bodyguards Jace Lance will find himself the victim of an assault-Jace’s story will be told next in book four-TRUSTING THE BOSS.

The world building continues to focus on the billionaire CEOs, and the men and women that they love. Each storyline is a stand alone but are interconnected through a crossover timeline or characters, who will be introduced in a previous novella story. There is always a threat that must be extinguished; and a happily ever after to be found.

TEMPTING THE BOSS is another fast paced and interesting storyline of insta-love between two people from differing social and economical backgrounds. There is mystery and suspense; romance and love; family loss and personal grief. Money and power may not pave the way to happiness but there is always somebody hoping for more. Mallory Crowe continues to put her spin on the billionaire storyline and it is nice to finally see a female at the head of a billion dollar corporation.

5 Stars!

Another hit by this author in this really sweet and sexy series. I enjoyed this book. Let's be honest . . . we all love the classic billionaire romance where you can start reading and get swept off of your feet into a world of high class and fine dining. This book was definitely that stereotype but had a few twists to keep you on your toes along the way.

This book was really good. It was sweet, sexy, suspenseful, funny, and had a few twists and turns along the way. This book may just be my favorite in this series to date. I devoured this book in one sitting and instantly started the next book in the series. This is a new-ish author to me but has been added to my future TBR lists for sure and one I keep coming back too.

This is Dean and Victoria's story. The author turned this around a bit for these two and added a few new twists to change it up. Dean and Victoria had tons of chemistry and tons of sexual tension. Victoria was actually pretty awesome (shocker I know if we follow stereotypes!) even if I was wanting her story. I also liked Dean. Super sweet, sexy, and crazy protective. I loved them together and was rooting for them despite the obstacles that they had to face.

I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars Victoria Green is the CEO of a nationwide hardware retail store and someone wants her dead. When she meets Dean Carey, handyman for an event planner, he volunteers to guard her until she can get a proper security detail. That's when the sparks fly.

It's refreshing to find an alpha male character who's not intimidated by the wealth of his girlfriend. He works very hard to save college money for his 16-year-old sister, that he's raised since she was six. He does not use Victoria but he's not afraid to take what she's offering. Dean's kind of a gruff on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside, kind of guy. I thought Victoria was more hoity-toity but she's pretty down to earth.

Great story line with smooth progression from beginning to end. This is book 3 in the Billionaires in the City series and I can't wait for the next one.

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Copy courtesy of Netgalley In this story we a reversal of roles. Victoria, the female lead, is a powerful CEO. She owns and runs a billion dollar hardware company. She is the one the cameras follow. Dean is the hardworking blue collar electrician barely making ends meet. He works numerous jobs to save money for his sister's college education. They come together when the is an attempt made on Victoria's life. Dean becomes her bodyguard. The story was well paced. I liked both characters and thought the well developed considering the short length of the book. There is a little bit of drama with the murder attempts but you kind of knew who was behind them. Still over all it was an entertaining read.
